Jessie Kaminsky   
Saturday, 01 July 2006
Denise KaminskyDenise Kaminsky was nominated by Susan Rosenkoetter to be July's Star of the Month.  Her daughter Jessie wrote the following:

Denise Kaminsky has been a remedial reading teacher and then a third grade classroom teacher for 30 years in the Lansing School District. She previously taught for two years in Maine before coming to New York. Throughout her years of teaching she has been an active member in the community as well as a beloved elementary teacher. “We will greatly miss Denise, the grande dame of the grade level. Denise is very organized and would make sure that tasks were done in a timely, efficient manner. We depended heavily on her strengths to keep our grade level organized.” -- the third grade team.

She has always shared her own passion of reading with her students by starting a morning book club for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. “She is a great teacher; she always was nice especially during Reading Club. She is great at everything.” -- Cody Lovelace, former student

Denise has also participated in the Lansing Library summer reading program to make sure kids were aware of the importance of reading and to keep them motivated to read, read, read, during the summer months. It is at this library that you will find “This is the Seed,” a beginning level book that Denise has written. When Denise retires she plans on spending much of her time working on writing books for beginning readers.

All Saints parish is another place where you can find Denise on Sunday’s as she attends mass. She can be found helping out at Monday night BINGO and the Parish Festival in August. Denise plays a very active and supportive role in her community. “Denise Kaminsky is a kind and caring person. She has dedicated her life to caring for others: her students, her community and her family. Lansing Schools will miss her. One of her greatest gifts is helping children to become better readers. Thank you for sharing yourself so freely.” -- Dave Lippert

Denise is proud of the family she has raised in Lansing. Her son, Jay (24), attends TC3 after spending four years in the army where he received a purple heart in Iraq. Denise’s daughter, Jessie (22), just graduated from Penn State becoming an elementary teacher following in her mother’s footsteps.

Denise and husband John plan on settling in Pennsylvania near Wilkes Barre where they can care for their elderly parents. John will continue working in the HVAC industry as a Territory Manager for a major distributor. Denise is proud of her family and her career, but is ready to retire and begin a new phase of her life.
