Mission Keepers: A discussion with Krista Frenz

In the fourteenth installment of the Mission Keepers podcast, Superintendent Bryan Davis chats with Krista Frenz, arts integration coach at Vel Phillips Middle School, about the professional journey which led her around the world and ultimately to the Oshkosh Area School District. Krista breaks down her experience working as an arts integration coach through ArtsCore and the ways she finds joy in her life. From her time directing German children in a community play to her role as an educator who inspires colleagues to bring art to the classroom, Krista embraces the opportunity to dive into her creativity to help students learn. Keeping your eyes open to new opportunities, finding your spark and chasing your passions, and the ways in which an art form as unique as Jordanian sand art can serve as the perfect vessel for student learning are only a few topics explored in this colorful episode.
