    My Name is Najib Abi. I was born in Somalia but raised in Kenya. I graduated from Willmar Senior High and St. Cloud State University with Business Management Degree. Most of my hobbies are related outdoor recreation. I love playing soccer, basketball and running.  Being a father of three Children, I have always enjoyed being with kids and I love seeing kids here at Roosevelt Elementary School succeed. My goal is to work together to support learning and close achievement gaps, improve low-performing and transform relationships between schools and parents.

The duties of our liaisons include but are not limited to: Building student and community relationships, communicating with parents and children who require interpreting, translating documents, interpret at conferences/meetings/events, providing cultural awareness classes/information to staff, and more.
