Mrs. Anita Struyk
By Joshua Kui
Anita was born in MillBay, British
Columbia, and it wasn’t until 1991 she
made the move to Terrace with her
husband Cal (who had been working here
for a couple of years previous). The plan
was work up north for five years, and then
see what happens next. Little did Anita
know, that once one drinks the fluorinated
waters of Terrace, they never leave! Just kidding. God’s calling to
stay in Terrace was strong, and it was solidified by the by the
amazing sense of community she found here. That being said, five
years has turned into 23 in a just a blink of an eye.
However, it’s a good thing Anita is no stranger to moving around
because in her formative years she spent some time living in
Alberta, and also the United States. Anita spent two years at the
King’s University College in Edmonton, and later went on to study
at Dordt College where she graduated and also met her husband,
Cal. After graduation Anita taught in Red Deer, Alberta for two
years, and from there moved to Langley, BC, where she taught for
three years.
Anita has been a part of the Centennial community for a while now,
as a teacher, the librarian and again as a teacher. In fact, this month
marks the 20 year anniversary of Anita putting her teaching career
on hiatus to begin raising her son, Tyler, who is now studying at the
King’s University College, and her other son Nathan, who is
studying at Dordt! However, we are still fortunate enough to be
graced by the presence of Eryn and Jonas here at Centennial.
Besides teaching, Anita has a plethora of hobbies which include
hiking, gardening, floor hockey, and reading!
This year Anita is teaching alongside Jeanette Ewald in grades 2/3.
Anita has enjoyed the dynamic this brings into the classroom.
Anita, being a couple of year olders than Jeanette brings a lot of
wisdom into the mix. Like a fine wine, or Mr. Miyagi from The
Karate Kid, with age comes experience, and with experience, comes
wisdom...
It’s going to be great year, Anita, and we are excited for the wisdom
you will impart and the lessons you will teach us this year!
