Discovery Club
Our Staff

Hello, My name is Sandra. I have been a Discovery Club Site Manager for the past fourteen years and this is my second year at the exciting J.J. Hill Montessori School.
I have a BS in Education and in my past life and in other places, I, taught Pre-School, Kindergarten and 1st grade. I find working with children very rewarding and meaningful keeping me young, at least at heart.
When time allows, I love working in my flower garden and traveling to visit our children and grandchildren.
I feel fortunate to be working with such a caring staff!
