Ms. Zyks

Hello and welcome to the sixth grade! This is my tenth year at Hickory Ridge. I come from Pittsburgh, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature and history, and a Master’s in Teaching degree from the University of Pittsburgh. I love animals, reading, and traveling. I've taught several grades and subjects at Hickory Ridge, and I'm excited to be with sixth grade again! I can’t wait to meet all of you and begin this new year!
