Clintonville Welcomes Jessica Holtz - Business Manager Services (Cesa 8) Hi yall! My name is Jessica Holtz and I am so excited to be providing Business Services for the Clintonville School District through CESA 8. I am a DeForest Graduate but my parents were in the military so we spent most of our time in Texas. I graduated from UW-Whitewater with my Bachelor Degree in Finance in 2011 and recently returned to UWW to get my Master's degree in School Business Management, which I completed in December 2023. I have worked as a Business Manager for 3 years, and before that worked for Dodge County doing Payroll. We just recently moved to Seymour from Horicon so we could be closer to family. My husband is a Middle School Teacher and we have 3 children (6, 4 & 2) and a German Shepherd mix who keep us very busy! We love to spend time outdoors-hiking, fishing and camping. Our favorite thing to do is take trips to all of the different National Parks throughout the year. Fishing in Canada for a week is how we end our summer and in the winter time you can find us out on the ice fishing!

My name is Matt Zodrow and I am excited to be the new Business Education Teacher at Clintonville School District. I look forward to helping students understand the business world better, spark their curiosity and encourage their success for future endeavors, and provide opportunities for them to grow in confidence and skills. I am a husband and father of five and I value learning and growth. I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI, graduated from John Marshall High School, and spent eighteen years of my adult life in Kansas. I started college at UW-Platteville and finished at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, KS, and I hold 2 master-level degrees from Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. I have taught people in many settings and trained people throughout my career, but this will be my first position as a public-school teacher. I started a business at the age of 5, my first job was delivering the Milwaukee Sentinel in 1982, and most of my career has been spent in sales with a focus on technology. In college I owned my own business, I have worked in a variety of roles in the hospitality industry, I have a background working with media and promotion, and I have led several non-profit organizations. Prior to my role in Clintonville, I was the Account Manger for CMS4Schools, a part of CESA 6 in Oshkosh, WI. I am excited to use my past experiences, failures, and successes to encourage the students in Clintonville. I live in a remodeled farmhouse outside of Neenah with my family and host events in the barn. Finding triple win situations, spending time with family, enjoying music, and helping others are some of the ways I spend my time. I have several super powers including the ability to locate great restaurants, transforming a box of mac n’ cheese, quoting lines from movies, and creating spreadsheets. I look forward to being part of the Clintonville community. Here is one of my favorite family pictures from the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Clintonville's Curriculum Director - Elly Brzezinski (Former CMS Teacher) Hello! I am Elly Brzezinski, and I am so excited to take on my new role as Clintonville’s Curriculum Director. I transition into this position with 22 years of experience in Clintonville. In 2002, I became a Clintonville Trucker after graduating from Northern Michigan University with my bachelor’s degree in elementary education. My husband, Kevin, and I moved to Clintonville upon graduation to begin our careers. My first year was spent teaching kindergarten and first grade in the Rexford-Longfellow building. Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching many different grade levels throughout the elementary and middle schools. I even taught a high school computer class at one point. In 2018, I earned my Masters in Reading from UWO and recently returned to school to get an add-on certification in Educational Leadership. I have been the middle school’s reading interventionist for the last several years. Outside of school, I enjoy summer camping with my husband and children, Chloe and Caden. We enjoy visiting the Upper Peninsula in the winter to visit family, ski, and snowboard. If I am not doing that in the winter, I can usually be found in a gym judging high school gymnastics or in an arena with my daughter for a concert. I am also an avid reader and am always looking for book recommendations. I am proud to serve Clintonville Schools in this new role and look forward to the challenge.
