Sister Dian Is Conservation Teacher Os Year it Almost three yeas ago the District began working with this teacher on an outdoor lab on the school property. After a couple of meetings, a design was developed, then came the call, the property is not ours. But this did not stop our teacher, with a little digging, the property was found to be school property after all. Soon after this discovery, trees and wildflowers were planted, trails in place and a garden started. What makes this such a great story is that it was done at a school with only six teachers and about 60 students and it has been an entire school project.

Sister Dian has made sure that this experience has been for everyone. With her guidance, the students have been there every step of the way. And they have been using the lab, not only for Science but for English, Social Studies, History and Reading and more. Her dediction was put to the test when she helped guide the entire school on the exploration of the stream adjoining the lab. Waist deep in water that can only be described as cold may not be for everyone but only shows the dedication to the students and our environment that Sister Dian has. On January 21, 1995, Sister Dian Majsterek was honored as she was presented a plaque reading: Presented to Sister Dian Majsterek, St. Patrick’s School, Walkerton, Indiana, Conservation Teacher of the Year.
