Staff Spotlight – Jami Shlensky

I’m Jami Shlensky and this summer will be my 3rd summer at North Star and I am glad to be
back! I spent the year teaching 4th and 5th grade at Wilmot Elementary
School in Deerfield, Illinois. This is the elementary school that I
attended as a kid! It was fun to be back as a teacher, this time around!

At
camp you can find me taking care of the littlest campers (Laney and
Summer) or down at the waterski dock! I can’t wait to see everyone there
for a great summer!
