Rita Nigro is a stylish, fun, no-nonsense lady who brings joy to a difficult day by singing Broadway Musicals and humorous quips that never fail to make you laugh.
Rita is currently an Education Assistant for Kindergarten at Children of Saint Martha Elementary School in Lethbridge, Alberta. She has been an E.A. for the last 8 years and worked with children for the last 25! Her experience in Early Childhood Education is valued at CSM and her creative skills in and out of the classroom have made her a superstar within her school.
You can see Rita’s handiwork on classroom doors, windows, and walls in the form of curtains and stitched organizational tools. E.As in many schools sport her totes, lanyards, lunch bags, lunch kits, and placemats as well as her Educational half aprons for holding kleenex, sanitizer, keys, pencils, and every essential item needed to support young students on a daily basis.
Recently this creative genius has stepped out of her comfort zone and started her own company, Cose Belle by Rita. Her website and Facebook page offer environmentally sustainable items created from beautiful fabrics.
