surrounded by a few other children and an adult, the young boy’s teacher. “That’s me on my first day of school in 1951 (in Paterson).” He then adds with a laugh, “It took me 65 years to finish school.” The outgoing administrator, who taught Science at Lakeside Middle School from 1971 to 1983 prior to his current position of 36 years, is retiring amid much admiration. Consider the words of Pompton Lakes Schools Superintendent, Dr. Paul Amoroso. “Lou Shadiack is everything a great educator, principal, leader should be. For 36 years, he made sure that every child was loved and that each had an incredible elementary school experience. For 36 years, he built relationships with staff and parents based on mutual respect and a shared vision of creating a truly great school. Lou is a humble, thoughtful and caring person. He has been a gift to our community for close to 50 years.” A special dinner in Shadiack’s honor was held on Thursday, May 9 at the Cosmopolitan in Wayne. Shadiack, speaking prior to the event, says, “It’s a reunion, actually. Retired teachers will attend. I had students who are now adults that are coming. They have busy lives, but they are coming. It has put things in perspective for me.”
“It’s a celebration with everyone together. It will be a nice farewell.” “I have worked with Mr. Shadiack for 23 years and was a former student of his at Lakeside,” says Edward Woodcock, a Lincoln School fourth grade teacher. “The best way I could describe him is hard working, putting other people’s needs ahead of his own, humble, well respected, and the best way to describe him is a class act. He will be missed by the community, the faculty, and most of all the students. I truly never heard anyone say a bad thing about him. continued on page 2
