My name is Nicole Rutt-Livgard. I live in Andover with my husband Jon and our two kids, Luke and Piper. Luke is going into fifth grade at Crooked Lake this Fall and Piper is going into third.I have worked for the Anoka-Hennepin School District for the last 13 years in the Application and Connection Services Department. Prior to that, I worked for the Roseville School District for 7 years in the Enrollment Center and the Transportation Department. I have served on the Association Board of the Office Professionals Association for 8 years, as a Representative for 5 years and the Secretary for 3 years.I LOVE being a mom! I love reading, coffee, Harry Potter, going to the movies, and going to our cabin.I am super excited to be the Crooked Lake PTO Chair this year for the second year in a row after having previously served as the Co-Chair and Secretary in prior years. I have built a great relationship with the staff at Crooked Lake through my job in the district office and my time on the board for the last three years. I love being more involved as a member of the PTO Board and getting to put on such fun events for the whole community! I look forward to serving the students, parents, and staff at Crooked Lake by sharing my skill set and doing what I can to make this a great school year for all!Co-Chair: Vacant
Treasurer:
My name is Sandra Anderson and I live in Andover with my husband Josh, our two kids, Aubrey and Zachary, and our 2 dogs, Bella and Cashew. Aubrey is entering into 5th grade and Zachary will be entering into 2nd grade. I work for Huntington National Bank as a Business Analyst in the Asset Finance segment. I have had various roles within my 15 years at the bank. While I am not working, you can find me running kids to and from their various activities and volunteering for CLPTO. In the rare event that I have some down time, I enjoy reading, movie nights with the family, taking trips to the North Shore and listening to Podcasts. This will be my 4th year volunteering with the PTO as your Treasurer. I truly enjoy the role and find it fun using my professional skill set to help make a difference. I love the Crooked Lake community and could not ask for a better group of staff, teachers, and parents to partner with to make the school events enjoyable for all. I am looking forward to another great school year!!!
