Director I started with Extended Day in 2006 as a Wolfpack teacher, and have grown so much with this program in those 16 years. I'm excited to move into my third year as Director and continue working in a more collaborative administrative capacity with Colette! That doesn't mean I don't love working with the kids when I get the chance (which, luckily, is often!) At home, I'm a jewelry designer, food enthusiast, and bunny-parent who loves to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild ;)

Assistant Director Hi y’all! My name is Colette and I am excited to join the Lincoln Extended Day community as the new AD this Fall! I recently graduated Boston University with my masters in Social Work and although this is my first year working with Extended Day I have spent most of my career working with youth both as an educator and administrator. When I am not working, I like to express myself through writing, playing the ukulele (poorly) and going on hikes.
