Hello!!
Hubbard-Radcliffe Elementary has the perfect candidates for Pack the Backpack. A few teachers in particular would be my daughter’s 1st grade teachers. Miss Rachel Hassebroek & Mrs. Megan Sandry. These two first grade teachers have always went above & beyond making each student feel special, cared for & believed in. Miss H & Mrs. Sandry have always included parents by sending weekly updates, emails, Facebook pictures & even including parents in school field trips. Nothing beats a morning when kids are eager & excited to go to school & nothing is better than an afternoon full of exciting stories from their day. There are so many reasons why Miss Hassebroek & Mrs. Sandry deserve to win Pack the Backpack. Mrs. Sandry & Miss Hassebroek are amazing teachers, they are patient, dedicated & caring. They have made every students feel special, important & believed in. Any parent would be lucky & proud to have teachers like Mrs. Sandry & Miss Hassebroek!!
