Kimberly Lane Elementary is proudly recognizing Denise Krzewinski for its Employee of the Month award. Denise has worked at Kimberly Lane Elementary since 2015 in a variety of roles from Wayzata Kids, to kindergarten and recess paraprofessional, to her current role as administrative professional. Her dedication to excellence is seen in her professionalism, strong relationships with colleagues, work ethic, creative problem-solving, attention to detail, initiative and positive attitude. Each day she works tirelessly to help both students and staff be the best they can be, and help members of our school community with their questions. She is an important person on our staff, who impacts the smooth running and success of our school every day:

• Denise supports our whole staff in many ways: communicating about upcoming events, ordering supplies, onboarding new staff, knowing who to contact when a problem arises, and thinking three moves ahead on almost everything to keep the operation of our school as smooth as possible. Her organization skills are exemplary.
• This year one-third of our students and families were new to Kimberly Lane, coming from a variety of buildings due to the boundary change. With so many new families, we are fortunate to have Denise to ensure their transition was a welcoming one.
• In addition, Denise is  the “go to” person for our guest teachers and guest paraprofessionals, ensuring all of our daily openings are filled and that our guest staff receive a warm welcome. 
• Denise’s positivity and kindness make Kimberly Lane a great place to work, and a welcoming place for staff, students and their families.  

Congratulations, Ms. Krzewinski, on receiving this well-deserved honor!
