Parents, if you or your students are needing a snack or drink before or after the concert please stop by the concession stand to get what you need. Mrs. Snyder will be selling pop and candy for 2 dollars each both before and after the elementary and middle school concert! She will shut down the concession stand during the elementary concert as she will be helping with the concert!
It's time for our weekly Staff Spotlight, where we take time to introduce one of our amazing staff members to you, our community. We hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better.
Today we introduce the wonderful Mrs. Brenda Nemitz. She is our dedicated Library Aide and Lunch Accountant. She has been working at CO-U for 23 years! She first started out as a kindergarten aide in the Ute building. She continued to work as a classroom aide throughout her career until 2021 when she opted to go part time in her current position.
Something that she enjoys most about working here are the close friends she has made over the years. She also shared that her favorite school meal is Chili and Cinnamon rolls. Perfect on a cold winter day.
After school hours she enjoys spending time with her family. This includes her husband, Roger whom she has been married to for 41 years. They have 1 daughter Bethany, who is married to Josh Linkenhoker and 2 grandsons and 3 bonus great granddaughters.

It's time for our weekly Staff Spotlight, where we take time to introduce one of our amazing staff members to you, our community. We hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better. Today we introduce the wonderful Mrs. Brenda Christiansen.
Brenda wears several hats at CO-U. She is our fantastic Title I Reading teacher, a Building Leader, and Yearbook Staff. This is Brenda’s 30th year at Charter Oak- Ute! She has taught in both the Ute and Charter Oak schools. She started her career with us in 1994 as a teacher’s aide in 2nd grade, then in 1st grade, finishing that year teaching 3rd grade. Following that she went on to teach Title Reading, which led to teaching 5th grade for 2 years. After that she returned to Title Reading where she has remained.
One of the things that she enjoys most about working here is her students. She states “I love my students the most! They all put a smile on my face every day.” Her advice for those just starting their career here is “Enjoy what you do! Let the students bring you joy and laughter. Education is a balance of learning and having fun!” She also shared that her favorite school meal is Orange Chicken.
After school hours Brenda enjoys spending time with her family, which includes Lorne, her husband of 30 years. They have 3 children, Andrew and his wife Morgan, Ashton and her husband Jeremy, and Aric and his fiancé Emma. They also have 3 beautiful granddaughters, Kinsley, Blakely and Makena, with another grandchild on the way.
