Woodside teacher wins award

Kimberly Sandstrom, fifth grade teacher at Woodside Elementary School, was

selected by Office Max in Woodinville, as the first recipient in A Day Made Better

program, sponsored by Office Max and Adopt-A-Classroom.

Sandstrom was nominated by a community member for her dedication to her

students and the school.

"If you are lucky enough to be one of Mrs. Sandstrom's students, she will be your

teacher for life," the nomination reads. "Mrs. Sandstrom continues her student

relationships through graduation and further. She is one of those teachers that

make learning so fun her students forget they are in school."

Employees of Office Max presented Sandstrom with $1,400 in classroom

supplies, including a digital camera, a printer, and an executive chair.
