Hello!  My name is Deb Zudell-Dickey (or Mrs. Z to the children), and I've been the Music teacher at ORLC Preschool for 4 years.  I'm a life-long Lutheran chuch musician, and received my degree from Valparaiso University.  I also studied in Germany at the Berlin Church Music School.  I've worked for The Cleveland Orchestra as Secretary to the Music Director, taught elementary music in Strongsville, and spent a year teaching English at a Lutheran High School in Slovakia through ELCA Global Missions. 

My husband Chuck and I have a son Christopher and a daughter Maren, who ae pursuing careers in Cleveland and Atlanta.  I love to read and garden, to play the organ and spend time at our family farm in the Ohio country-side.  I'm excited to be assisting Mrs. Schaefer with the 4's Class this year, and look forward to seeing the students that I already know, and meeting the new students and their families.
