"I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Krista for the past seventeen years in Edina Public Schools. Krista is an accomplished educator and leader. I worked closely with her and other team members in the design process. Krista was a great team member, she followed through on tasks and effectively collaborated with the team. This team effort resulted in a new and highly regarded French Language Arts curriculum that is still being used in our classrooms."
