November Spotlight on Support Staff

Michael Lindgren, Food Service

Mikey Lindgren has been a main ingredient in the recipe of Clearbrook-Gonvick’s food service success since September 2009.   He grew up in the area and is a 1998 graduate from Clearbrook-Gonvick.  

Mikey is the son of Larry and Sheree Lindgren.  He has two brothers, Jeff (Catherine) and Pat (Calli).  He is  the proud uncle to Lexi,  Amelia, and Aria.

It only makes sense that Mikey is part of the CG support staff, because there is no one else who supports Bear activities more than he does. If there is an event involving our students, Mikey is sure to be there encouraging them, motivating them, and cheering them on. His unconditional love for the students of this school has no limits. Everyone sees him at games and events pouring his heart out for his teams. However,  not everyone knows about the countless hours he puts in behind the scenes, at practices, before games, after games, and literally whenever and wherever help is needed.
