Bio

Mrs. Zvara was born and raised on a dairy farm in Grafton, Wisconsin, so she is no stranger to St. Paul. She is very excited to be joining the St. Paul staff this year as both a math and science teacher in 5th grade and looks forward to getting to know each and every 5th grader and watch them grow as learners, scientists and mathematicians, and most importantly as Christians.

Prior to her time at St. Paul, Mrs. Zvara spent five years teaching middle school math at Whitefish Bay Middle School and taught high school math for eight years in Menomonee Falls prior ot that. She holds two Bachelor degrees both in Mathematics and Business Administration. In 2012, she also earned her Master’s Degree in Curriculum & Instruction. She and her husband Nick have three amazing kids, Grace (6th grade), Lilly (3rd grade) and Grant (4K), who all attend St. Paul and keep us very busy! After school, Mrs. Zvara enjoys spending time with her own kids, coaching softball and poms, spending time outdoors, doing photography, being a 4-H leader, cooking, scrapbooking, and trying to keep her home organized, healthy, happy, and focused on God.

Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path”

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Teaching is not the filling of a pail, but the igniting of a fire. ~William Butler Yeats
