Marian Bids Farewell to Loyal Faculty Mary Margaret Flanagan’s career dates back to 1968. She has been instrumental in helping to develop the curriculum for the Physical Education Department. Her career reflects early involvement with the GAA and coaching assignments in Cheerleading, Basketball, and Softball. Mary has been a very dedicated professional and has always placed concern for her students in the forefront. Things will certainly be different in the Physical Education Department; however, her input in helping to develop the culture of Marian Catholic over the years has been invaluable. Mary Margaret Flanagan Ann Waller has shared her talents with Marian Catholic High School for the past 43 years. What was supposed to be a three-week assignment as teaching in the Home Economics Department evolved into a position as Dean of Women. Ann found joy in working with students and families because every family was so supportive. Her mission was to teach young women life skills and help parents in dealing with adolescents. Marian Catholic was more than a place of employment for Ann. All four of her children attended Marian, with her sons involved in sports and girls in band and the honors society. Ann is looking forward to spending more time with her children and grandchildren. Ann Waller Jon Wooddell’s mission goes beyond the classroom; he strives to prepare his students to be lifelong learners and who take ownership in their own learning experiences. For the past 35 years Jon has taken great pride in the process of preparing his students for college writing. He has given students the opportunity to appreciate and decode classic literature and its influence on humanity. Jon is highly respected by his colleagues from his wealth of knowledge and mentorship. Jon Wooddell Nancy Holmes taught World Language for the past 28 years at Marian Catholic after her retirement from the public school system. Her love for teaching young minds the art of culture and language is evident in her dedication to the students. Her philosophy of being a lifelong learner is apparent in how frequently she updated her educational materials. Nancy also served as a Department and Curriculum Chair where she was always ready to work for the well-being of Marian and the students. Nancy has created a safe, nurturing environment for both her students and the World Language Department. She will be a tough act to follow. Nancy Holmes Jody Haaker has served Marian Catholic since 1986. Her involvement began as an instructor in the Physical Education Department and a long and notable career as the women’s tennis coach, working with a large number of state qualifiers and placers. Jody worked as an Associate Athletic Director and has more recently served in the capacity of Department Chair for Physical Education. Her loyalty and passion to work with students will be missed but never forgotten. Jody Haaker Sister Marion Sitkiewitz, O.P. has worked as the Archivist and the Speech and Fine Art’s Program Cheerleader for the past nine years. Her passion for promoting student accomplishment was apparent in her excitement while archiving. Sister Marion was an inspiration for the Marian Catholic Speech Team and Theatre Department; she never missed a speech tournament or theatre performance. Sister Marion has instilled a religious quality within the Fine Arts Department that is second to none. The Speech and Theatre students hope she visits next year! Sister Marion Sitkiewitz, O.P. Bernard Jablonski has shared his vision and talent with Marian Catholic for the past 31 years. The Marian Catholic family wishes him all the best in his next career opportunity and are sad to see him go. Bernie filled many different roles within the Language Arts and Fine Arts Departments over the years. He created space for students to fine tune their creative talents; donated an abundant amount of time and effort teaching students the art of drama; and built beautiful stage sets that were admired by audiences. Good luck, Bernie, on your next endeavor. Bernard Jablonski Marian Catholic sends best wishes to all retirees as they enjoy much deserved rest and spending time with their families and friends. 12
