Hello!  I am so excited for the upcoming school year!  This will be my 22nd year at St. Wenceslaus and my 7th in preschool.   I will be teaching the Tuesday, Thursday STEM class for preschool.  We do many experiments and have a lot of fun!  

My husband and I live south of Lonsdale.  I have 3 grown children and 3 granddaughters.  Another granddaughter is on the way, due in October.

I am a graduate of Minnesota State University-Mankato.  I have my Master's degree from Saint Mary's University, Winona.

I am passionate about reading.  I love to make stained glass, bake, crochet, knit, and garden!

Linda Smisek is an aide in our school and helps in many different areas from preschool all the way through the 8th grade. She also helps with office projects. You will see her first thing in the morning greeting preschool students as they are being dropped at school, and at the end of the day sending kids off for the night. Mrs. Smisek feels blessed to be able to work with such great kids and their families.

When Mrs. Smisek is not at school she enjoys gardening, cooking, and reading. But her most favorite thing is being a grandma to her three granddaughters.
