At the January Sand Springs Board of Education meeting, the board presented the Sandite Pacesetter award to Charles Page Freshman Academy Teacher Kaitlyn Knowlton.

Ms. Knowlton was nominated by Principal J.J. Smith for her fundraising work with the CPFA Student Council. Under Ms. Knowlton’s leadership, the organization raised $2,857.83 during their annual United Way fundraiser, which supports Sand Springs Community Services. According to Mr. Smith, Ms. Knowlton “uses her role as the Student Council Sponsor to show our students the importance of being responsible students with a heart for their community… She is not only a great asset to our school but an asset to our community as well!”

Thank you to Ms. Knowlton for your dedication to our students and Sand Springs! #FocusForward22 #BESandite
