| Mrs. O. Stanowych is the school’s Ukrainian and Music teacher |
Mrs. O. Stanowych, the school’s talented Ukrainian and Music teacher, was honoured at the June 23rd graduation liturgy for 25 years of dedicated service at IHMS (unfortunately, a mistake was made – Mrs. Stanowych has actually taught at IHMS for 26 years). After Mr. Picklyk made the announcement during liturgy, Sr. Anne Pidskalny, the school’s director, presented Mrs. Stanowych with a bouquet of roses and a wristwatch on behalf of the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate and the IHM School Board.

Mrs. Stanowych first came to IHMS in September 1986 as the grade 6 classroom teacher to replace the departing Mr. G. Kohuch. Two years later, in 1988, she switched grades and became the grade 4 classroom teacher for the next four years.
During the 1992-93 school year, Mrs. Stanowych took a leave of absence to spend a year living in Ukraine. She returned the following year to begin a new position as the school’s Ukrainian teacher, a job she was extremely well qualified to teach! Within a few years, she was teaching both Ukrainian and Music, the two subjects she has continued to teach as a model of professionalism until the present.
Mrs. Stanowych is the 8th member of the current IHMS staff to achieve this milestone of 25 years of faithful service. Most of these 8 staff members have over 30 years of teaching experience at IHMS.
