My name is Mrs. Padomek!  Welcome to our 2nd grade class!  This is my fourteenth year teaching.  I taught for three great years at Fullerton and now I'm at Saddlebrook.  I feel so lucky to be a part of the Saddlebrook community!  I'm looking forward to working with great staff, students, and parents again this year!

Although I was born in Memphis, TN and lived in Akron, OH for a short time, I pretty much grew up in Omaha, graduating from Millard West High School.  I then went to Creighton University and earned my BS in Elementary Education in 2006.  I earned my Masters degree in Reading from UNO in 2013.  Going to Creighton developed my love for Bluejay Basketball-Go Jays!  My husband and I enjoy going to all the home games and try to make at least one road trip a season.  

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with our two daughters, our son, and our cat, Sophie.  My oldest is in 5th grade, my middle child is in 1st and my youngest is in Pre-K here at Saddlebrook.  Although I seem to get far less done before and after school having my children around, I do love being able to see them throughout the day in the halls!  I also LOVE to travel!  When I can find the time, I also enjoy relaxing by scrapbooking-but who am I kidding?  That rarely happens these days!!

A few of my favorites:

Food-steak and potatoes, pizza, Italian

Snack-chocolate anything!  especially Dove Dark Chocolate (Dark's the best!), Snickers and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Drink-Mocha or Chai Lattes, Water, PB Cup Blender from Scooters
