Welcome Families!  

Welcome to Capitol Hill and welcome to Ms. Brzinski's class, Room 1514!!  I look forward to connecting and learning together.

Here is a little bit of personal background information about me. : )  I grew up in Maplewood, and earned my undergraduate degree in education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!).  I earned my master's degree from Saint Mary's University in Winona, MN.  Prior to coming to Capitol Hill in 2008, I taught 15 years at Cherokee Heights Elementary on the West Side.  I come from a family of educators, many of whom taught in St. Paul.  I am very honored to be a third generation teacher, second generation St. Paul teacher, and be able to spend this year with all of you. 

My husband's name is Darren, and I have two adult step-children and two grandsons.  We also have feline fur babies living in our home; Elvis, Millie, Gracie, GusGus, and Izzy.  I love spending time with our grandsons, motorcycling (passenger :), kayaking, traveling, cats, coffee, dark chocolate, and planting in the spring.  

I look forward to meeting all of my students and families.  I am confident we will have a spectacular year of learning together.   I am committed to doing my best to make this year as clear, thoughtful, joyful, and engaging as possible!  

In partnership...
