Students Get Interactive with Science

During the month of January, Mr. Zawacki’s Biology and Anatomy classes collaborated with the PCS Technology team, to provide students with an immersive and interactive learning experience by integrating our new zSpace laptops. zSpace technology has the ability to enhance learning through an interactive experience by integrating AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) technology with science, math, and CTE (career technical education) topics.

Students completed engaging activities such as dissecting and interacting with mitochondria, cells, and muscles. The activities were designed to supplement the existing curriculum, while supporting retention and recall of information in a non-traditional immersive classroom environment. Students were able to see these objects come off of the screen and then rotate and move them, while studying each section. The 360 degree screen-breaking experience is achieved through built-in eye tracking sensors and a stylus pen.

We hope to dive deeper with zSpace in our science courses and for career exploration activities with our students. More information about zSpace can be found at www.zspace.com.

Students get a chance to work with a professional stage and film actor

On Wednesday, January 25th, Travis Mitchell, a professional stage and film actor, visited Pacelli Catholic High School to do a workshop with choir and theatre students. Travis shared his experiences working in the acting field on both stage and in film.  He also worked with the students to model the audition process, and had each student do a mock film audition.  The students also did activities showing the differences between stage acting and film acting, and they got a chance to try the more subtle form of film acting on camera!  Travis also shared the message of how important it is to be kind to others, and to be a joy to work with, as that’s how you book future jobs.  He shared that this way of intentional living can open doors for students in any future field of work and in life in general.  The students love when Travis is able to travel in from New York City and speak to them, and work with them! More information about Travis Mitchell can be found on his website https://www.travistravistravis.com/.

Lyndsey Larkin Hired as New Principal of Pacelli Catholic Elementary School-St. Bronislava

Effective this week, Pacelli Catholic Elementary School-St. Bronislava (PCES-St. Bron’s) in Plover has a new principal. Mrs. Lyndsey Larkin of Appleton started in the role on Tuesday, July 5, 2022. Larkin takes the reigns at PCES-St. Bron’s from Mrs. Jamie Nowinski, hired by Pacelli Catholic Schools last year as principal at both elementary locations. Nowinski will now be dedicated full-time as principal of Pacelli Catholic Elementary School-St. Stephen (PCES-St. Steve’s) in Stevens Point.

Larkin has spent over 15 years of her career teaching K-12 special education at Susie C. Altmayer Elementary School in De Pere, Langlade Elementary School in Green Bay, and Appleton West High School in Appleton. Her most recent role was serving as a K-4 Cross-Categorical Special Education Teacher at New Holstein Elementary School in New Holstein. Larkin also worked as a special education director in the Behavioral Health Unit at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton and as a progression advisor for international students at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Fox Cities Campus in Menasha.

“Working with students of various abilities has been such a rewarding experience for me all these years,” said Larkin. 

Larkin earned her Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and her Master of Science in Educational Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She also received a Director of Special Education and Pupil Certification from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

Larkin currently resides in Appleton with her husband, Chris, and their two dogs, Ollie and Laci.

“I am very passionate about meeting student’s needs and differentiating instruction for students [and] I am excited to bridge any gaps between church, school, and community relations,” said Larkin. “I look forward to working with staff, students and parents to make progress within the system.”
