During sixth and eighth grades, our kids have the wonderful experience of learning Art from this week’s Teacher of the Week, Mrs. Zan Lombardo. She earned her Master of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University and her Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Northern Illinois University. For twenty-five years, she has taught here at VFMS. In addition, she has taught at TEMS, Hillside and Conestoga. She has been married for thirty years and has one daughter.
