“I feel privileged to spend my days with students. I consider us to be partners in education, and I find that every year I learn as much from the kids as they do from me. To me, school is not just about academics, but also about finding a sense of purpose, learning to care for others, and looking with curiosity and hope at the world around us.”
Mrs. Floryshak also has three novels published and designs student planners and puzzle books. She and her husband, as well as their three children, are all MMI alumni.
