Staff Faces of STMY:
This week we introduce Miss. Amy Yaremcio. Amy is a familiar face to the STMY staff for the past few years as well as a STMY alumnus. Amy is the school Chaplain and teaches Biology, Jr. High Science and Religion along with our Career course at the school. We are so thankful for her spiritual leadership at the school and all of the activities she arranges for the staff and students of STMY.
Miss Amy Yaremcio
"Hi, I’m Amy Yaremcio.
I grew up on a farm just outside of Vegreville and was a student at St Mary’s back in the day.
I am excited to be wandering the halls as a teacher instead of a student, although you probably won’t be able to pick me out in the halls since I tend to blend in with the students (perks of being short I guess).
I teach Religion/Health 7, Religion/Health 8, Language Arts 8, Biology 20 and Junior High Comm Tech. I am also the school Chaplain this year."
