Getting to Know Mr. Hadyka

This is  my eleventh year here at Saint Thomas the Apostle School. I have spent all my time at STA working in 4B and am excited to be returning to fourth grade for another year. I am a graduate of Central Connecticut State University, with a bachelors in Elementary Education and a masters in Elementary Mathematics.

I attended Catholic schools from K-12th grade, and am glad to be able to pass on the strong foundation for faith and academics that I learned. In my free time, I love to go out to eat, golf with friends and family, and to play guitar. I also love to travel the world. I have been to World Youth Day Pilgrimages in Australia, Spain, Brazil, Poland, and Panama. My family and I are really big fans of the Olympic games. I have been to the games in Atlanta '96, Vancouver '10, London '12, and Sochi '14. In addition I will be going to the olympics in Paris in 2024! 

​I am a member of the music ministry at Holy Family Passionist Retreat Center, which allows me to share my gift of music to thousands of people a year. There are some videos from  recent concerts and services below.

Here are a few of  my favorite things.
