New 21st Century hire excited to return to education

On July 1, Kassie Nordlinder officially began as the new 21st Century Community Learning Center grant coordinator. It’s her role to oversee the 21st Century Grant and serve the Boulder Elementary, Jefferson High School and Basin School after school programs.

Nordlinder – whose background includes 16 years in early childhood education – said she is thrilled to work in the field of education again. For the past four years, she worked at Madison Valley Bank, and although she said she enjoyed the work, the 21st Century opportunity feels like “going back home.”

“I really missed working with children,” she said.
