Ms. Sanders, Library Media Specialist

I LOVE reading and learning, and I love my school. I enjoy reading about new characters and settings, and I have old favorite authors and series too. I have been a School Library Media Specialist since 1996, and at Kanoheda ES for over 26 years. I enjoy creating and exploring new technology, and taking pictures & videos to share. But above all, I love to see students find their OWN love of reading and learning!

 

My Family

My own personal kids: Meredith, Caroline, and Matthew, started in Gwinnett County Public Schools, and have enjoyed their own journeys as readers and learners. They have all volunteered here and have been guest readers, book shelf movers, computer assistants, and even beginning of the school year -book bag  unloaders. And for that I thank them.
