Teacher of the Year 2023-24!

Sandy Elementary is proud to announce Denée Bringhurst as Teacher of the Year!  Mrs. Bringhurst has taught at Sandy Elementary for 27 years!  She is dedicated to the students and families of Sandy and often stays in contact with them for years.  Denée is a wonderful teammate who works seamlessly with her fellow teachers to make a difference for students.  Being in her class is an amazing experience.  Mrs. Bringhurst’s students feel safe, they know that they belong, and they love coming to school.  Here are a couple of quotes from parents about her: 

  • “My son didn’t like being at school until he met her. Now if I tell him that he can stay home, he CHOOSES to go. He loves being there and wants to go. She has changed he views with school so much.” 
  • This teacher has taken my son in, and the dedication to help him understand and succeed. She has done tremendous work with the students in understanding and being patient. If I could only show my appreciation she’s truly amazing! Thanks for the support and helping and understanding.

We are thrilled for Mrs. Bringhurst!  She is very deserving of this honor.  We are overjoyed for her and all she has accomplished in her career.
