A Message from Mrs. Natalie
Dear SCE Family,
It is with excitement and celebration that I share with you that I have taken a Principal position closer to my home. The Sand Creek Elementary learning community has been amazing to help grow my understanding of true leadership and commitment to excellence. Some of my greatest memories have been joining class field trips, teaching alongside staff, greeting students each morning, sharing lunch, participating in clubs, movie nights, and the many organizations that are sponsored through our school.
I would like to thank the students, staff, and community for supporting me and helping me become a better leader. The students of SCE are absolutely the best and I look forward to watching them grow from afar. I leave behind a huge piece of my heart!
Wendy Natalie
Assistant Principal
