Tamara Ormson
1-2 Teacher
Mrs. Ormson has been our constant since the Academy was founded. She holds a BS in Elementary Education grades K- 8 from Mount Senario College in Ladysmith, WI. She remembers that she had always wanted to be a teacher ever since the second grade. When asked what she likes best about AMA she replied, “Because we are a small school we really get to see and witness the growth and education of each and every student even though they may not be in our classroom.” Mrs. Ormson lives in Glenwood City with her husband, Brian. She stepped down from the headmaster position, but continues working with the new headmaster.

Mrs. Mary E. Wieser
Board President, Secretary, Bookkeeper, Transportation Specialist, Communications Director, and So Much More!
|
As a full time volunteer, Mary E. Wieser wears so many hats for our school. She was instrumental, along with her family and a few other dedicated people, with Ave Maria Academy's conception. Whether it is ordering supplies, working with the kids, scheduling events, driving kids to extra activities, fielding phone calls and email messages, bookkeeping, Board President, and so much more, Mary willingly donates all of the time energy, and resources she puts into Ave Maria Academy. When she isn't helping out at school, she is usually helping someone else out. She and her husband, Dan, enjoy spending time with their children, though since the kids have grown, it's not as much as they would would like.
