Mrs. Sabdo
 

Welcome to my class website. Here is a little information about me. I am 41 years old and have been in education my entire life. I come from a long line of educators. I have two Bachelor of Science degrees; one in Elementary Education with a certificate in Reading and one in Anthropology and Archeology . I have been at WJGurganus for 15 years now. I worked for 6 years as an assistant in First Grade, I was in 4th grade for 3 years, and this is my 5th year in 5th grade. My husband is also a teacher at Havelock Middle School, he teaches 8th grade math. I have three children ages 20, 18, and 16. Two of my sons are at Havelock High School! Go Rams! and my oldest son is a sophmore at Chowan University in Murphesborough, NC. My youngest son is one of the Varsity quarterbacks at the high school. My middle son is a Varsity cross country runner and golfer as well as an All-Star cheerleader. So my schedule is pretty busy running three boys to all of their events.
