Miss Olivia
New staff member Olivia Rodriguez-Golner. I’m a new area resident. I’m usually on the farm when I’m not at work! I have seen many years of WELS schooling both as a student and as a volunteer throughout high school and college and I’m very excited to be apart of another one! I get my passion for the littles from my 2 adorable little siblings. Im excited to learn more about the Pre-K students through full time working with them, time spent playing with them, and time in the books furthering my knowledge about early childhood education!
