A letter from Ray Wieczerzak
May 2000
To the colleagues, former students and friends of Theresa (Terry) Wieczerzak:
For 34 years Mrs. Wieczerzak taught English at Division Avenue High School. During these years she helped hundreds of students decipher THE SCARLET LETTER, taught them to always support their ideas with specific references, and even got most of them to pass the dreaded English Regents exam. Throughout her career Terry worked diligently and lovingly. Students enjoyed her classes and especially enjoyed her dramatic readings, her keen sense of humor, and her obvious interest in them as people.
Four years ago, Mrs. W. left the classroom for health reasons. (Nothing else could have dragged her from her job.) Since then her efforts were directed to fighting her unrelenting foe -- Cancer. Unfortunately, despite her valiant efforts, Terry passed away in April. Although she is no longer with us, Terry's influence will not quickly be forgotten.
To ensure that both her memory and her desire to help students stay alive at Division Avenue High School, we are creating the Theresa Wieczerzak Memorial Scholarship Fund. Through this fund, Terry will continue to help the top English students at Division Avenue High School.
If you would like to honor the memory of Theresa Wieczerzak by contributing to this fitting memorial, please send a donation to
Mr. Ray Wieczerzak
Division Avenue High School
120 Division Avenue
Levittown, NY 11756
(Make checks payable to the Theresa Wieczerzak Memorial Scholarship Fund.)
