About Sandy:
Sandy has been teaching for 35 plus years and back in her early career, she taught Early Childhood classes at Kendall College. Sandy first joined the WCNS staff in 2015 and loved teaching 5 mornings a week for a few years, but grandchildren soon started arriving and it was time to cut down on her teaching schedule. Sandy is busy babysitting grandchildren, but she is excited to be at WCNS as a Roving Teacher! She and her husband, Gary, live in Wilmette and raised their two children Chris (Lindsay) and Courtney (Austin) there. They love being grandparents to 4 terrific grandchildren. Sandy is passionate about helping children have a successful day at school, making sure they feel comfortable, safe and happy. When not at school or babysitting, Sandy enjoys reading, walking, sitting at the beach, and time with family and friends.
