"Well done, good and faithful servant." — Matthew 25:23

It is with a mixture of profound gratitude and bittersweet emotion that Saint Mary Interparochial School honors two beloved members of our faculty as they prepare for their next chapter. This June, we will bid a fond farewell to Mrs. Judy Crossan-Sanicky and Mrs. Paula Zuzulock, whose combined decades of service have been instrumental in fulfilling our mission of preparing Christ-centered leaders.

Judy Crossan-Sanicky: A Lifetime at Saint Mary

Mrs. Crossan-Sanicky’s connection to Saint Mary is truly unique and spans a lifetime. A proud alumna of Saint Mary Interparochial School, Mrs. Crossan-Sanicky returned to her roots to shape the lives of generations of students.

  • 42 years dedicated to Catholic education.
  • 40 years of service at Saint Mary Interparochial School.
  • Over 1,000 Saint Mary students taught, mentored, and inspired throughout her career.

As our Grade 8 teacher, Mrs. Crossan-Sanicky has been the final steady hand guiding our graduates before they enter the world. She has spent over four decades ensuring our students leave these halls not just as scholars, but as the Christ-centered leaders our mission envisions. Her deep history within these walls makes her a true pillar of our institution.

Paula Zuzulock “Mrs. Z”: A Heart for Our Youngest Learners

Mrs. Z has spent nearly two decades fostering a love of learning and faith in the hearts of children. Her warmth and dedication in the classroom have made her a cherished figure among students and parents alike.

  • 19 years dedicated to Catholic education.
  • 16 years of service at Saint Mary Interparochial School.
  • Over 450 Saint Mary students nurtured and guided during her time with us.

As our Grade 2 teacher, Mrs. Z has played a pivotal role in the formative years of our students’ spiritual journeys. By modeling compassion daily and preparing her students for their Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion, she has laid the essential foundation for them to grow into Christ-centered leaders.
