Sandy Hill Elementary School
Rhonda Cornish: Sandy Hill is a great school to attend. My dad was one of the brick layer that help build the school. I was also a student myself. there were some great teachers there,that taught me . Ms.Groves, Ms. Webster and Ms.Bryant.I have very fine memories of Sandy Hill. I was choosen to be safety patrol. The greatest things about Sandy Hill is , that the teachers and the staff is wounderful from the front door to the back doors. They are always willing to help to assit you. Five years ago i was bless with my first child,today he is a Pre-k student in Ms.McCoy and Mrs. Anderson class. I know that i was a sucess, and know my son will be too.Proud to be a student of Sandy Hill Elementary .
