Mrs. Laura Golebiewski is very happy to be a part of the NOVA team this year teaching two terrific subjects, science and social science. 

She holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering (University of Missouri), an M.B.A.(Western New England College) and a Masters in Education (DePaul University). 

Along with her husband Jerry, she enjoys going to visit her son Bob who is a senior at Mizzou and watching the Tigers win.  Her daughter Christine (also a Mizzou graduate) is now teaching 7th grade Language Arts and Math in Plainfield, IL.

She loves to spend time reading and sewing and tries to exercise with yoga and walking.  If she can find someone who possesses a lot of patience, she has been know to attempt to golf.  As soon as she can, she hopes to return to playing clarinet in the Benedictine University/Community Concert band.

Her ideal vacation is to go anywhere there is a river, lake or ocean.

A fun fact is that she has lived in six different states and 12 different towns. 

The purpose of the social sciences curriculum is to provide an integrated study of the social sciences to prepare students to become responsible citizens.

Umbrella Question:  How and why do civilizations survive, thrive or fail?

Case Studies include:  The Fertile Crescent; Nile Valley & Early Civilizations;Asia's Classical Age; Ancient India and Persia; Ancient Greece and Rome; European Renaissance

We will explore and compare the characteristics of Leadership, Organization & Culture for each case study.

Science Curriculum

The purpose of the science curriculum is to provide inquiry based science units in life, physical and earth science to provide our students with the problem solving skills to become responsible citizens who are respectful of our physical world.
