Hello Everyone! My name is Nikki Christensen and I will be the school social worker at Fontana. I am SO excited to join the Fontana family! I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know all of the wonderful staff, students, and families. I received my BSW degree from Illinois State University and continued my education to receive my Master’s of Social Work degree from UW-Milwaukee! In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, traveling, golfing, exercising, reading a good book,and spending time with my family.

In the midst of our uncertain times I wanted to share some fun pictures. Darwin our turtle has moved into his new habitat. Thanks to Jeff Magnus at Aquatic Specialty for donating a 55 gallon tank and stand. Many staff, students, and parents have donated time and money to his move. The cleaning process required special smelling equipment for the students 😂#bettertogether #FontanaPride
