South Bay Teacher Is Role Model For Resilience And Patience

Torrance, California — Great teachers matter. In Torrance, we're fortunate to have teachers like Sandy Scarbrough.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Michelle Squillace who nominated Sandy Scarbrough of Torrance.

Teacher’s name

Sandy Scarbrough

How do you know the teacher?

I work with her

What does this person teach?

She supports independent study students grades TK-12

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Sandy has a big heart for her students! She balances supporting/teaching her students with such dedication while also taking care of her severely autistic son. Not many people could do both well, but she has enough love, patience, time, etc. to do all of it perfectly!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

What amazing difference she makes in everyone’s lives. She is even a good role model for me! How she’s had significant loss in her life (losing her husband) and many challenges…but she has a great sense of humor and outlook about life!
