Supportin Staff he supporting staff is an integral part of our school. Without them, the school wouldn't be as effective as it is. Mr. Joe Stempniewski, the librarian, does more than bring new books into the library. He, along with his aides, are there to help students and faculty find the easiest way to locate the resources they need. Mr. Stempniewski is also involved in student activities. This year, he is one of the class of '91 sponsors. When a student is injured or sick in school, Mrs. Helena Lawrence, R.N., is there to help. The usual procedure, no matter what the problem, begins with a thermometer in the mouth. She and her aides also help keep up with the immunizations and hearing and vision testing of students.
