Congratulations to Fridley Public Schools December 2021 Employee of the Month, Brigitta Anderson!  Anderson serves as a classroom assistant at Fridley Preschool.  In her role, she supports Liz Schweitzer’s Preschool scholars in all aspects of learning throughout the day.  She helps to prepare materials, assists with assessments, engages in play with students, leads art projects, and oversees and ensures student safety during arrival and dismissal hours.

According to Principal of Alternative Services Kelly McConville, Anderson’s abilities and genuine care for students is second to none. “Gitta is constantly going above and beyond to find ways to bring joy and creativity to her classroom and the entire FCC,” said McConville.

Preschool International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) Coordinator Karin Beckstrand added that Anderson displays all aspects of the IB Learner Profile. “She is caring, knowledgeable, and open-minded,” said Beckstrand. “She builds and nurtures relationships with students, staff and families and has a willingness to do whatever is needed.”

In addition to supporting preschool students, Anderson is always looking for ways to create building-wide community among staff members.

“She is an incredible staff member and we are fortunate to have her on our team,” said McConville.

Congratulations, Brigitta, on the well-deserved honor of District Employee of the Month!
