My name is Frosia Polushkin. I was born in Oregon and raised in Montana. I enjoy swimming, the outdoors, and visiting with family. For the past 18 years I have been living in Homer with my wonderful husband and daughter. I first joined KPBSD as a substitute 15 years ago. Since then I have worked with students of all grades and coached HS Girls Soccer for the Head of the Bay Schools. This year will be my sixth year as the secretary at Kachemak Selo School. I appreciate everyone that I have worked with and look forward to an awesome year.
Tutor: Tatiana Konev
Hi, I am Tatiana Konev, teacher’s aide in Kachemak Selo. I was raised in Kachemak Selo, it’s a lovely community, so when I got married, we stayed here and raised our family here also. When all my children started school, I applied to be a sub, and later became a teacher’s aide. I love working here, the staff has always been amazing. I love gardening, and crocheting. I am a grandma now, I have 8 grand kids.
MS/HS Teacher: Sarah Garon
Hi! I am so happy to be joining the amazing team of staff and students here at Kachemak-Selo! It is my privilege and honor to teach the Six through Twelfth grade students English Language Arts and their daily dose of Social Studies/History. I reign from the Great Lakes State (Michigan) with a degree in Language, Literature, and Writing from Eastern Michigan University. I am also certified in Teaching English To Speakers of Other Languages for grades Kindergarten through Twelfth. When my nose is not stuck in a book, I love to be outdoors skiing in the winter or getting lost in the woods. It is my goal as an educator to shape eager lifelong learners out of each and every one of my students. Join me on this journey!
Special Education: Dave Szynskie
Hello, it’s Mr. Dave! I am the Special Education/Resource teacher at Razdolna and Kachemak Selo schools. I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and began working in schools after graduating College. I started my career as a Special Education Paraprofessional as I earned my Masters in Education before becoming a teacher. My wife Cori and I moved to Alaska in 2013 and bought land on East End Road. We have since built our “forever home” and love living and working in this wonderful corner of Alaska. This will be my fourth year in this position and I have loved every minute of it. Building relationships with all students from the village is something I work on daily and my goal is to help every student succeed and grow as an individual. My wife and I enjoy spending time together experiencing the outdoors through, hiking, biking, fishing, stand up paddle boarding, and spending as much time as possible on our boat. I delight in sharing my enthusiasm of sports and the outdoors with students of all ages.
