Gage Anderson
School Age Lead
Hi, I'm Gage Anderson!
I've been working with little ones since I was a senior in high school. I have lived in Bismarck my whole life with my parents and my 2 younger brothers. I went to Legacy high school and was very involved in sports. After I got my diploma I decided to go to BSC for 2 years to get my generals degree.
Before I started working with your little ones, I worked for Sunrise elementary as the after school program lead for 4 years. I'm grateful to be working with your children and very excited to continue working with them.
