This webpage was created to keep students and parents informed of happenings at Sanborn Christian School and specifically my classroom. There are highlights of the week to come and assignments listed. Some assignments may change from day to day but this is what next week will look like. Our theme for the 2018-2019 year is Instruments in the Master's Hand or Tools in the Father's Hands. We are all tools used by God for the advancement of His Kingdom. We must be ready to GO and serve.
