Steve Olekas:

I was born in Dayton, Ohio and I am a graduate of Chaminade High School and Wright State University where I obtained my B.S. degree in Comprehensive Science in Secondary Education.  I have been a science geek with a love of the great outdoors all of my life.

Volunteering in summer camps for disadvantaged youths in Ohio led me to teaching. I found that Middle School is the age level that I am most comfortable with.  I truly enjoy teaching and being a part in the lives of these ever-changing students. Teaching has given me a great purpose and obviously, never a dull moment.  I want all students who enter my classroom to feel safe to interact, have fun and enjoy the challenges of learning about science and the wonderful world around them. My hobbies and interests are cooking, fishing, gardening, and enjoying my wonderful family, including the “zoo” of animals and plants in our home.

Deacon Scott Kolbet:

I have been the pastoral associate at St. John Fisher since 2001 teaching 7^th grade religion for all of those years.  I have a BA in Religion and MA in Theology mainly because I love learning about the faith.  The focus for 7^th grade is “To know and follow Christ” as we learn about the New Testament and Morality.  My hope is that the Christian faith becomes a personal experience as we grow more fully in community at St. John Fisher.

When not teaching (or working in the parish), I enjoy playing with my children, time with my wife, and making wood toys in my garage.
