to use a sewing machine, taking pictures for the website, building sets
for an upcoming production or painting woodwork on one of the buildings.
One of the first things visitors notice about our school is how clean
and well cared for the facilities are. Sandy's high standards and
devotion to the school are seen and felt by the Pathfinder community
everyday. |
