We, the parents of Stepney Elementary, petition the Monroe Board of Education and Dr. Palmer, Superintendent of Monroe Public Schools, to keep Mr. Troesser as the Physical Education Teacher at Stepney Elementary. Mr. Troesser has been an asset to Stepney. He is one of those teachers who takes the time to get to know every one of his students and their families, and even those who have not had him as their gym teacher. He gets involved in their physical education not only in the classroom, but also at recess, walkathons, the Hoops for Hearts fundraiser, Olympics, coaching, Arts and Imagination, and many other events and activities.
The move to put Mr. Zyskowski at Stepney is not taking into consideration teacher strengths, nor the needs of our students. Mr. Zyskowski knows nothing about our children. The move is completely unnecessary, as Mr. Zyskowski could remain at Fawn Hollow, where he has been teaching for 15 years and knows the families and children there. The students at Stepney have already lost a dedicated Physical Educator (Mr. Legnard) this year, please do not take their beloved Mr. Troesser away from them, also. Our children deserve this constant through so much change in this coming school year. Keep Mr. Troesser at Stepney Elementary.
