The 8th grade TOTM for March, was presented to WMS’, Mr. Kobylakiewicz! With Kobylakiewicz working hard and taking pride in his work, there wasn’t anybody better to receive this award.

Gym teacher and former baseball coach, Kobylakiewicz stated,” I don’t think too much about awards. But I guess it’s nice to know that others, whether it’s one person or a hundred appreciate what you do,” explaining his thoughts on receiving the award. The people that inspire Kobylakiewicz to keep it going is the student’s, Kobylakiewicz believes that “if you can help a student in any way, it may help them in the future somehow”. Kobylakiewicz’s “favorite” gym activity to teach has to be softball. “I’ve played baseball most of my life so it’s fun to play an activity very similar” he explained.
Before being a gym teacher, Kobylakiewicz spent his four years of college at Rowan University located in New Jersey.

Kobylakiewicz stated, “I enjoyed my college years very much. Because I was able to play two sports and made friends I still keep in touch with 20 years after graduating.” Kobylakiewicz “favorite” sport to watch is either college basketball or football because it’s a “great fan based environment”. On the other hand, his favorite sport to play is golf, Kobylakiewicz thinks it’s “challenging”, but also gets to play in nice weather. Even though his free time is limited, Kobylakiewicz enjoys playing golf, fishing, and watching his kid’s sporting events whenever he can.

Congratulations Mr. Kobylakiewicz, it was a well deserved award!
