This fall, five new faces will walk the Westbrook schools halls and one will return to those familiar halls after spending last year on military deployment.
Natalia Sidorova: Certified to teach French, Spanish, and Russian, Sidorova steps in to teach world languages for the now-retired Roberta Fulton.
Allison Sumecki: Sumecki is the new health teacher hired to deliver the state-mandated health curriculum at Westbrook High School (WHS). Now that health is a formal class, an extra period has been added-an eighth-to the WHS rotation schedule to provide space in each student's schedule for the class.
Amy Callahan: Callahan will teach language arts at Westbrook Middle School.
Rebecca McDonald: McDonald, who previously taught science at Westbrook High School before moving away, has returned to the district this year to teach science in a 0.6 (a bit more than half-time) position at WHS.
Bill Gombos: Gombos, a physical education and health teacher at Westbrook Middle School, returns to teach this year after spending the last year on deployment in Iraq as a medic with the National Guard.
Ben Russell: Russell arrives to fill the long-sought and finally authorized district position of information technology specialist; previously the schools relied instead on outside contract services to support its information technology needs.
Lesley Wysocki: Wysocki, the school district's new business manager, started in her post on July 1. She will work out of the school district's central offices and will be responsible this year for a major conversion of the district's existing accounting software package to a new one that will automate more of the budgeting and expenditure processes.
With the Valentine's Day holiday approaching, we wanted to see if any of our readers ever received a Valentine's gift that was memorably bad.
