Every year, Education Minnesota honors an education support professional (ESP) with the ESP of the Year Award. Our very own Karen Vickery was nominated for the 2024-2025 award and is very deserving of this honor! She provides top notch service and support for her learners and her teammates at Riverivew. She brings years of knowledge and experience to our school and also provides lots of smiles and laughs for everyone around her. We are grateful for all she does and congratulate her on this honor!
