James B. Sanderlin K-8, an IB World School

As we wrap up an unforgettable school year, our hearts are full celebrating so many special milestones! 🎉

From meaningful iTag ceremonies🏅, to cheering on our 5th and 8th graders as they get ready for their next phase of education📚, this season has been filled with pride, growth, and memories that will last a lifetime.

To our 8th graders — thank you for your hard work, leadership, and memories you’ve shared with our school family. From favorite teachers and school traditions to friendships made in the halls of Sanderlin, we know there are many things you’ll miss… but your next chapter is just beginning. ✨
