Greetings Spartan Families,
We are quickly approaching the end of the year! One month from last Monday is June 15 - the last day of school! Please note the following information below.
New Assistant Principal!
I am pleased to share that Ms. Sarah Lanzo, our administrative intern, will begin her position as assistant principal at Saunders on July 1, 2023. Ms. Lanzo is originally from Cleveland, Ohio and has 8 years of experiences as an educator. She began her career at Mother Brunner School in Dayton, Ohio. She came to Saunders in 2019 where she has served as a science teacher, teacher on administrative assignment, and administrative intern.
Ms. Lanzo earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Walsh University and her certification in Middle Childhood Education from the University of Cincinnati. She earned her Master of Educational Leadership from James Madison University. Ms. Lanzo has three daughters, ages 8, 6, and 5. She is a proud resident of Prince William County.
Ms. Lanzo is an energetic leader who understands that positive relationships with students, teachers, and families are the key to administrative success. She is excited about serving the Spartan family in her new role. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Lanzo as the new assistant principal at Saunders Middle School.
