Hi, my name is Trina Pawlicki, and I am the first grade teacher here at St. Francis Xavier.  It is my second year teaching here and I’m really enjoying my days here at SFX.

I grew up in Duluth, Minnesota and went to college at UW-Superior.  I chose teaching as my career after a long conversation with my Mom who pointed out on several occasions that I really enjoyed working with children in many different situations.

I am married to Guy Pawlicki, who teaches English at the high school here in Merrill.  We have twins, Mary and James, who are 7 years old and in second grade.  Our family also includes a beagle named Woody who keeps us busy keeping up with him!

For the time I am not at school I keep busy with my kids activities.  We have Cub Scouts, Brownies, and such to fill up our time.  We currently live in Tomahawk and look forward to moving to Merrill soon!

I love teaching because I feel it is a great way to help the future.  I enjoy this age group specifically because the class tends to inspire me as much as I hope to teach them.  First grade is busy- but we get to read many great stories, try fun science experiments, and jump into math moving past writing numbers to addition and subtraction.

I have many teaching experience that have helped me become the teacher I am.  I have substitute taught, worked in a day care, and taught summer school.  I have also coached swimming and track on different occasions.
