My name is Cheryl Lykowski, and the 2011/2012 school year will be my ninth year as a teacher at MRE.   I attended Lourdes College and earned a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education in 2001, and earned my Masters Degree in Educational and Instructional Technology in 2007 from Lourdes College. 

    When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Jim, and my six children.  I also have four grandchildren from my daughter, Izzie, who is in the U.S. Navy and stationed in Seattle, Washington.

I also am highly involved in the Discovery Educator Network (DEN-Discovery Channel/Discovery Communications) and serve as the Chairperson for the Leadership Council in Michigan. I am also involved with Michigan's State Technology group - MACUL- and have presented many times for their state conference, as well as Illinois' state tech conference and for ISTE - International Society for Technology Education tech conference.

I also love to read,travel, and work on the computer. During the summer and fall, I raise Monarch Butterflies to tag, release and track their migration to Mexico.

    Below are a few of my favorite pictures.
