40 YEARS...AND COUNTING.
It’s all in the science.
by: Chelsea McKay, Marketing Coordinator
There has been a steady presence in the Science Wing for 40 years at SMSA.
Teacher, Deb Sosinski. As a young girl, Deb spent her childhood “growing up
country” and immersed herself in everything outdoors. She spent her days
finding flowers along hedgerows and fence lines and enjoyed a welcome snack
of a green pepper from her father’s very robust garden. Her grandmother would
take her near the marsh to look for marigolds and when the time was right,
trilliums. Deb’s seasons were always marked by outside events; hunting for
asparagus in the spring, picking raspberries and blackberries in summer and
gathering hickory nuts in the fall.
She attended a two-room schoolhouse for the first three years of her education.
Deb remembers her classes were very small and she just adored her teachers
and always loved what they did. She knew she wanted to spend her life helping
people. At first, she pursed an education in nursing and it just didn’t feel right.
Deb then switched her major to biology and her minor to secondary education
and everything just clicked, her calling was to be a teacher.
High school science was always her dream, but Deb was very excited to begin her
career at St. Mary’s Middle School, after being hired by Sr. Jane Kraus, teaching
7th and 8th grade science and math. Later on, when FACES was formed, she
taught 8th grade science and language arts. After 17 years of teaching at the 8th
grade level, Deb was offered to teach high school biology!
When asked if she had any unforgettable moments during her teaching career,
she recalled one in particular about an iguana named, Angus. Deb explained,

trying to get the thing off. The students were laughing so hard they were literally
falling out of their chairs!”
As the years passed, Deb fell more in love with teaching. She has also enjoyed
the time spent with them outside of the classroom. She recalls taking class
trips to Milwaukee Brewer games, Great America, service days at Easter Seals

She has been awarded the Outstanding Key Club Advisor of the Year for You can even leave her a

At home, Deb enjoys gardening, camping, biking, reading and knitting/
crocheting. Just like when she was a young girl in the country, she still finds
comfort in the outdoors. When asked if she had advice for her students,
she always tells them, “Don’t wish your life away and create good memories
in each day.” As for Deb, no word on retirement. She just plans on creating
4
good memories each day.

JEANNA (GIESE) FRASSETTO ‘07 Jeanna with husband,
Scot, and their children.
by: Chelsea McKay, Marketing Coordinator
Most of our Ledger community knows the extraordinary survival story of alumna, Jeanna (Giese) Frassetto
‘07. After being bitten by a rabid bat in 2004, Jeanna fell ill with the virus, and through the quick action of
a doctor’s experimental treatment (The Milwaukee Protocol), her strong will to survive, and by the grace of
God, Jeanna survived this normally fatal virus, becoming the world’s first known rabies survivor, without
receiving a rabies vaccine. Jeanna has since traveled the world to educate others on the importance of the
rabies vaccine.
You’ve been very busy since graduation! Where did you head after graduation?
What did you go on to study? Which career path did you take?
After I graduated from SMSA in May of 2007, I went on to college at Marian University that fall. After two and half
years at Marian in the biology program, I transferred to Lakeland College to complete my Bachelor’s Degree. I
graduated in 2011 with a BA in biology. My original plan when I started college was to go on to school to become
a veterinary technician, but I learned in my college classes that rabies had left my hands with the inability to
do most maneuverable science (precise measurements, carrying of open containers of liquid, quick reaction,
etc.) so I graduated with the degree and got jobs at boarding kennels, humane societies, other miscellaneous
customer service jobs. My chosen career path was halted by my disabilities. I found jobs in animal care and
customer service. I was great with customers and still got my “animal fix.”
You’ve since married and become a mother….twice! Reflecting back, how excited
were you, your family knowing another miracle was in the making, twin babies!
I met my husband in 2012, we married in 2014, and had our girl-boy twins in 2016. They are a gift. It was
shocking when we first found out we were having twins, but we couldn’t be happier. In 2018 we had another
son. It is such a blessing to have the three of them in our lives. I was blessed with the miracle of life first with
my own surviving, and then again with each of my three children.
How excited were the twins when they found out another brother was on the way?
My twins were so excited. My son would show his toy cars to my belly and my daughter would play “this little
piggy” with her doll in preparation. They are terrific big siblings.
What do you find yourself up to nowadays?
Any activities or hobbies that you enjoy?
I am a stay-at-home mom, so my days are spent with The treatment used to save her life,
my kids. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I also currently The Milwaukee Protocol, has been

Syndrome and Central Positional Vertigo, plus the ongoing
side effects of the disease. With all of that, being a wife, a
mother and dog sledding still make up my entire life.
Spreading awareness about the rabies
vaccination is a passion of yours. Where
have you traveled and where can one find
more information about the vaccination?
Promoting rabies vaccinations in animals is a huge
passion of mine. Rabies is 100% preventable through
animal vaccination and human education. With that,
I love telling my story and spreading the knowledge I
have gained. I have spoken at schools, retreats, church
groups, environmental groups, medical conferences,
and more, in the US, Canada, and the Philippines. Jeanna mushes with her four-legged companions.
The information is retained so much better when it is
heard from someone who has experience with it. For
someone to find out the basic rabies info, I usually
recommend CDC.gov, WHO.int, and rabiesalliance.org.
What takeaways do you have from SMSA?
My survival would have been so different if I was not
attending Springs. The acceptance and compassion that
I received from the students and staff at the time was
amazing. The support, both emotional and spiritual,
created a camaraderie that I will never forget. Although
I grew up in a Catholic home, attending a Christian
school helped to develop my own faith and I attribute
Jeanna, center front, visits the Philippines to speak
it to my refusal to give up. about the importance of rabies vaccinations.
What would your advice be to future
graduates on following their passions and never giving up?
If you hit a roadblock in your plan, create your own detour. Your final destination should always be your
personal happiness. My life got shut down, my career goal got shut down, my future got shut down at age
15. At 31, I am happier than I ever could imagine because I altered my path. Never stop striving for your
happiness.

Since 1971, Celebrating Bob Hyland’s 50th Season.
by: Chelsea McKay, Marketing Coordinator
Bob Hyland. The name immediately resonates mental images of
celebrating, hoisting trophies, and faces stretched wide with smiles of
happiness. Most high school students dream of these experiences when
cheering on their hometown team; the Ledgers have been living it for
decades. SMSA football has come from a not so intimidating place in high
school sports, to being revered and loathed in our local communities all
while under the same, hard-nosed, coaching style.
Shortly after graduating from North Dakota State, as a very accomplished
football player himself, Bob Hyland moved to the Fond du Lac area with
his wife, Carol, and began his search for a high school football coaching
position. In 1971, Bob took the reins of a not so successful football
Bob stands with his parents, Betty† program, ending his first two years with a record of 1-15-2. Bob was very
and Bob† at State. adamant that he needed just four years to make this program successful.
Well, like clockwork four years later, Bob true to his word, led the
Ledgers to the State Championship in ‘75, ‘76, ‘77 and ’78. Those four
back-to-back years sent the Ledgers home with 2nd place trophies and
in 1983, the Ledgers won their first State title and repeated the following
year shutting out their opponents in both games. In total, he has won
33 Conference Championship titles, 9 State runner-up titles and 17 State
Championship titles. He is celebrated as the most winningest high school
football coach in Wisconsin history, with 478 wins, and stands strong as
the 3rd most winningest active high school football coach in the Nation.
Now, if you were to read Bob those first couple paragraphs, he would
more than likely wave his hand at you and say something like, “It’s not
about me, it’s about my players.” He always kept them center stage and
made it known that, “The players put in the work, they’ve always worked
Bob sitting with his daughter, Molly hard to be the best they can be.” As for the attitude of his players, well, if
‘94, at the office. you ask current and/or former players about their experiences, they all
seem to say the same thing, “It was always one game at a time, we’re still
0-0.” It’s that humble, level headedness, that many of his former players
say they carry with them today. Yes, they were coached and driven to
play the nearly mistake free football we have all become accustomed to
watching, but hidden behind the routes, the plays and the training, they
