Mrs. Nally has done an amazing job this year teaching MSOL. I could not be more grateful, appreciative, and impressed. She is so patient and kind through all of the ‘trickiness” and “new” of online learning. I know that Jillian has had a great year this far and is learning so much.

Thank you to Mrs. Nally!! The Bohrer Family appreciates you!!

Mrs. Patton, in addition to being a wonderful, passionate teacher went above and beyond when my daughter was put on quarantine last semester when someone she had contact with tested positive for covid. Mrs Patton reached out via email and called us personally to make sure Katrina did not fall behind during the time she was at home. She’s so caring and we are so lucky to have her!!! An asset to Sand Pine.

To anyone who has NEVER had to design and complete a yearbook, you need to pay attention to this shout out. It is a challenge of biblical proportions where you try to feature everyone at least once, make sure names are spelled correctly, get your material submitted on time, and the list goes on and on. Oh, and let’s throw a pandemic in there just for good measure. Well, take a look at this year’s yearbook. Two of my colleagues have KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!! The book looks fantastic, and I know they were running around crazy trying to get pictures of tradition kids as well as on line kiddos. Their hard work has paid off. The book is vibrant, colorful, and full of great memories of a very difficult year. Ladies (Kristen Alleger & Jeannine Lehmann), my hat is off to you for your hard work. I wanted you to hear it from me first.

Love you both, Mills

Mrs. Alleger, 

Excellent communication, great teacher, very responsive to questions. In appreciate all her hard work with my son and for the school in general.

Mrs. Forsman,

She goes above and beyond for her students and coworkers and has dedication to the Sand Pine family.

Mr. Moore is kind and caring. The students really loved him as the art teacher and for his new position as a third grade teacher. He speaks to the children with enthusiasm and respect that they really respond to. Thank you Mr. Moore for taking on our 3rd grade class in the middle of the year! You have done a fantastic job with the transition and we appreciate you.

Mrs. Lehmann is wonderful, always with innovative ideas and a lot of love for her students. Mrs Lehmann is one of the best teachers I have ever met. Matthew and I and certainly the whole class of 20021 will miss her very much.

What can I say about Ms. Anderson! I can truly say she is an outstanding and amazing teacher. She cares for her students and it shows because my son loves going to school and gets excited about it! I want to thank her for all she does for not only my son but all the Kiddos!

Mrs. Welt rose to the occasion for my school online. She learned all the tricks to zoom and did it with a smile. She told the children that we are all adjusting (parents, teachers and students) and that made the children feel comfortable. Mrs. Welt has a way with words too. She is strict in the kindest way. In 8 months I have never herd her raise her voice, even when the children were being less than cooperative. She had a way with those kiddos to make them listen and respect her. At a time when teachers were leaving, she stayed to teach and did it with a smile. And for that, she deserves a shout out. There is no reward big enough to show what she deserves.

Compliments to the 4th grade teachers for an informative FSA parent night! We are super thankful for all the extra writing opportunities given to our kiddo to prepare him for this test! Also, Mrs. Simpson rocks!

Thank you,

The Simmons Family

I am so thankful for the Kindergarten team (Mrs. Alleger, Mrs. Romero, Mrs. Lehmann) I joined. From my first day of work, Michelle, Jeannine, and Kristen have offered me help, advice, and positivity. Being a brand new teacher at a new school can be intimidating, and I have never felt anything other than welcomed and supported. You three are wonderful teachers, women, moms, and mentors! I am so grateful to have you all around!

Thank you for everything,
Mara

Ms. Peck

She is a great teacher. She says funny things. She shows us that she cares by being patient with all of us.

Ms Childers has been such a TREMENDOUS support to my daughter since her arrival at Sand Pine, but THIS year she has been even MORE helpful and supportive to her since coming back to school from Online Learning. She is ALWAYS there when I need her or my daughter needs her and she communicates with me and keeps me posted constantly! She’s always there for my daughter when I can’t be (which is a lot!) and I am able to continue my day at work (as an ICU Nurse) knowing my daughter is safe and in good hands! I could NOT be more grateful to her!!

What to say about you Sand Pine’s “staff”? You are wonderful, always very polite, patient, some of you with a lot of sense of humor in which you make our days happier, others with a lot of sympathy in which you make us feel welcome at school. Its aways so good when Sand Pine is the type of school that would like my kids to stay until they grow up and ready to go to college lol. It is you the Staff that make this school be so special. It is always very good when even before I arrive at school I have a very kind reception with a nod with the wave from that gentleman, who is always very adorable. Also the traffic guards that take care of the security of our kids and the teachers who open the door always with great affection every morning so that our children can go to the classroom. One of my favorite staff is when we are leaving we are guided by that lady with so much humor and joy, she really fills my day with energy !!!! And I cannot fail to mention to all of you who work behind the cameras to make this daily work to be our best experience !!! Thank you to all of you who make our days and our children’s days special !!! -Ariana Cruz, parent
