Lisa
Hello, My Name is Lisa Anderson, and my mission is to instill a love for learning in my students. Teaching is an absolute passion of mine! I graduated from MSU in Mankato with a 4 degree in Elementary Education. I was a teacher at Kids X-Cel Center in New Ulm for 8 years before I took the job as the preschool teacher here at St. John’s Grandkids in November of 2016. I set individual goals for my students to get them ready for kindergarten, and love to see the progress they make. A little more about me, I am married and have 2 beautiful children. I love to sip tea while reading any book written by Nora Roberts. Most of all, I love taking walks with my family.

Morgan
Hello! My name is Morgan Frederickson. I married my best friend & husband, James, this past July 2022, I have 3 children, Brooklyn 11, Sylas 7, and Keeley who we lost at 25 days old. I graduated from Avalon School of Cosmetology in 2014 and worked at a Salon for 6 years. When I met my husband and moved to Springfield, I started working at Springfield Market & I am still currently involved with our family church United Methodist of Springfield, I took this job here at Grandkids mid-August of 2022. The most rewarding part of working at St. John’s Grandkids is seeing each child’s sweet soul grow into these young beautiful people they are becoming, as we as watching their interactions change as they are learning new things and making new friendships. My favorite things to do outside of work is to spend time with my family and friends. I am most excited to meet new families and continuing to see each child grown into their own personality each day!
Jalivia
My name is Jalivia Richert and I am a junior at Springfield Public School. I was born & raised in Springfield and I am 17 years old and have four siblings. After high school, I plan to attend college for ultrasound. The most rewarding part of working at St. John’s is seeing the kids grow and learn while being in a positive and safe environment. I love taking care of kids and seeing them smile. Having the opportunity to be a part of the children’s lives and watching them grow brings me so much joy. My favorite activities outside of work are softball and volleyball. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and little sister. I am most excited to get to know all of the kids and create relationships with them. I love to see the kids progress as they get older and turn into independent individuals.

Emma
Hi,I am Emma Pingeon. I am a senior at Springfield High School this year and will be graduating in May of 2023. In school, I am involved in Choir, Band, Student Council, and Yearbook Committee. Outside of school, I dance for Just For Kix and this will also be my second year as an assistant coach. Growing up, I took a huge role in my life as always making sure my sisters were cared for when my parents separated. I was in 2nd grade, learning how to go back and forth from houses, and making sure my sisters and I had what we needed. My childhood upbringing has always made me want to become a teacher. Now that I am a senior it is crazy to think that I still have the same dreams as I did in my childhood. After High School, I plan to attend a 4-year college and earn a degree in Elementary Education and Youth Ministry. I have a passion for children, learning, and Jesus. I have decided to put that all together to be able to teach younger children in school and about God. I am the middle child of 6 kids. I have 1 brother and 4 sisters. I am going to be an aunt at the end of October to my oldest sister’s son! We are so excited to have a little boy in our family. Some of my favorite things to do are going shopping, organizing, writing in my planner, journaling, spending time with my sisters, and dancing, of course! I am so excited to be apart of this community to help educate all of the children, and make sure they know that they are loved, cared for, and worthy!
