Agnieszka Ewa Michalak

Frau made me feel like I was worth putting effort into. She showed me a type of support and respect that I had never seen in a teacher. She was truly passionate and proud of all of her students. I only wish that I could have said a proper goodbye to her. My sincere condolences go out to the Michalak and Zienkiewicz families.

I have much admiration for Agnieszka professionally and personally. Agnieszka challenged her students by going beyond sense of duty to support students’ success and encourage a love for the German language. I believe students recognized, respected and appreciated Fraulein’s consideration. In other conversations, it was clear to me her daughters were important and much loved by her. Every time I passed Agnieszka in the halls, she never failed to offer a friendly hello. Agnieszka will be missed. I wish Joanna and Natalia, family and friends, peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Dear Joanna and Natalia , I last spoke to your mother at Julia’s retirement party about a year and an half ago and we had such a wonderful conversation. She was so proud of you both! She knew that I was always interested in hearing how you both were doing and I am sure I’m not alone in feeling her deep and ever present devotion to your wellbeing. She was a beautiful loving person in all of her roles - as a mother as a teacher and as a friend.. May you find some comfort in knowing how much your mother meant to the people who were fortunate enough to know her.
