Staff Spotlight
Sabrina Belletti - Director of Programs Sabrina Belletti is our Director of Programs. She is semi-retired from Bandon School District after teaching at Ocean Crest for 16 years, HLMS for 6 years, and working as the Bandon High School Principal for 8 years. She enjoys spending time with family and friends, and keeps busy surfing, running, playing basketball, seaglass hunting and riding her fat tire e-bike. Sabrina loves working with children of all ages and has had the pleasure of being the part of many childrens' education journey. You might be surprised to learn that she lived in Myrtle Point until she was in the 7th grade, then moved to Coquille, where she graduated from high school. She would love to learn to speak multiple languages. Her weirdest job was working as a live mannequin in a window display. Her least favorite chore is folding laundry! Sabrina's favorite quote is "It's not the unasked questions as much as it is the answers you didn't question." | Kari Senn - Secretary - Bandon High School Kari has worked at the Bandon School District for 8 years. She has spent time working in all 3 schools and feels she has found her home with the high school. Kari has 2 children in the district, Katelyn and Tyler, and she has been married to her husband, Daniel, for 14 years. When she isn't at work, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, playing with her 2 border collies, hiking, going camping, boating, traveling, fishing, and hunting. One of the weirdest jobs she's ever had was working nights at a hospital on the psych-ward floor! She definitely enjoys working at BHS more than she did at the hospital!!! If she could learn to do anything it would be to be fluent in many different languages! Her least favorite chore is vacuuming! One of her favorite quotes is "Work hard in silence, let success make the noise." |
