What the school division said about this Excellent Educator: While this has Sarah Strantz’s first year, she has done an amazing job during such an unprecedented time. Her kindness and patience with our students and families has helped quell the fear and uncertainty during the pandemic.
Strantz’s first priority is student and staff safety, and Poquoson Elementary School is very grateful for her care. Her attention to detail allows staff to perform their jobs without worry, knowing that situations are being handled accordingly.
Strantz, along with our other division nurses, worked with our school social worker and local community members to bring food, clothing, and gifts to our students in need. Always willing to lend a hand, Strantz has been indispensable in the daily operations of Poquoson Elementary School and is well-deserving of this honor.
