Courier & Press: How many years have you been in your current role?
Nichole Freiberger:
C&P: Please give a brief description of your work experience.
NF: I have been an EVSC educator for 18 years now. Most of my teaching career was spent at Delaware Elementary school teaching first grade. I then moved to Highland Elementary and taught first grade for five more years. Using my creative side has always been my passion, and I feel like my current position in art education is the perfect place for me! This is my first year teaching art and I absolutely love it!
Leadership Everyone Announces Celebration of Leadership Nominees
2020 was a rough year that saw every aspect of our daily lives turned upside-down. Businesses found themselves under restrictions that not only limited the number of people who could be inside their establishment, but also put a dent in their ability to make a profit, and nearly every non-profit in the area saw a dip in donations thanks to the cancellation of annual fundraising events. However, as the old saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
We see it any time a problem of any kind arises. Certain people step up to lead the charge, refusing to let the situation get the best of them and their community with innovative and creative ideas. It s those individuals, and those who see a need within their community and work toward creating a solution, that Leadership Evansville looks to recognize each year with their Celebration of Leadership Awards.
