Congratulations to Adam Lokstad, Transportation Supervisor for MCC, as he is recognized as Staff Member of the Month for April. A 1998 graduate of MCC, Lokstad has driven bus for the district since December of 2009 and became transportation supervisor in February 2017.
“Adam takes care of his drivers. He manages all of our schedules and is always friendly. I witnessed him airing up a student's flat tire, when he discovered the tire had a hole in it, he then changed the tire and put their spare on for them and aired that up also. The student came out at the end of the day with a vehicle that she could drive home and she didn't even have to ask for help. Adam's kindness and hard work don't go unnoticed.”
What is one of your hidden talents?
I don't always understand women, but having five sisters gives me a head start.
What is your dream vacation?
Coast to Coast train ride with my family and our own living area, multiple stops along the way.
If you won the lottery and decided to give up working for the school, what would you do instead? Farm, but still drive a bus! You're lucky to drive some of those kids around, and lucky when some don't ride!
What is your favorite meal from the cafeteria? Orange Chicken, Tater tot hotdish. And always with chocolate milk.
What makes a good day at school? A beautiful spring day, all of the bus garage doors are open, hearing the kids play in the playground.
If you could pass on any wisdom to your students, what would you share? If you are not sure what you want to do with your life, find a way to see the world a bit and maybe you will find out. Maybe it is right where you started?
What is your favorite memory from when you were in school?
Pulling pranks on Mr. Pederson in his classroom. We did find out how far we could go, but Mr P was always cool about it.
What is your favorite t.v. show ?
The Office.
