Magnet Schools of America has awarded
James B. Sanderlin Elementary the coveted
Magnet School of Excellence Award!
This honor is awarded “based on a commitment to high academic standards, curriculum innovation, successful desegregation/diversity efforts, and the consistent delivery of quality services to all school stakeholders.”
As a community service project, Mrs. Morrison's Kindergarten class made and sold gingerbread cookies to raise money to buy 200 pairs of sandals for children in Tamil Nadu, India, effected by the Tsunami. It was a schoolwide effort to which the students responded with great enthusiasm and caring.
The children in India were delighted with their new shoes knowing that they came from students just like themselves.
In preparation for Story Telling Festival, Donald Davis
visited our school to get the creative minds flowing in our students.
This is the second time Mr. Davis has come to Sanderlin Elementary, and
his stories were as masterful and entertaining as ever!
From Mr. Davis'
website, "For Donald Davis, storytelling is a way of giving and living
life. He invites each listener to come along, to pull deep inside for
one's own stories, to personally share and co-create the common
experiences that celebrate the creative spirit."
