Mrs. Sanzobrin has been
absolutely incredible!
My daughter loves school
and looks forward to
seeing her every day!
She has found ways to
challenge her in the
areas where she excels
and also allow her to use
her leadership to help
kids that may be
struggling a bit.

Mrs. Sanzobrin has
come up with so many
fun and creative ways to
teach, these kids are
always having a great
time while learning.

Mrs. Sanzobrin is
always very organized,
she gets important
information to the
parents well in advance,
and answers questions
or emails within a day.
She is wonderful!
