Sandy Prentice is now a grandmother of 3 amazing grandchildren who are the offspring of Kiera and Colin. She is still married to the father of her adult children and continues to live in the same home, on the same property where her children were raised and experienced the magical Santa Smoke Letter event. Sandy has retired from the school district where she previously worked as the District Principal of International Education and prior to that she was a district vice principal of International Education, an ESL teacher, and a classroom teacher. Story was where Sandy felt she could connect with students and as a result, teaching Language Arts was her favourite of all subjects to teach. It was from story that students were able to understand their own lives better and find better solutions to problems that they were experiencing in their homes and with friends. Teaching the writing process was part of a big unit that Sandy created for her grade 6 students and to this very day, students and their parents continue to share with Sandy how much they enjoyed their time in her classes, and some still have samples of their writing from grade 6. Not one to slow down, Sandy started her own education consulting business called, "This Stuff Matters". She is currently an Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Justice and Accessibility Consultant and conducts Intercultural Development Inventory education as a qualified IDI Administrator. She does EDIJA course work at the college level, and has conducted numerous workshops for different types of government, private business, and not for profit entities. She is currently employed by Purcell Collegiate School, based at the Aqa'm Residential School in Cranbrook, (formerly known as St. Eugene's Mission School) as the Director of Admissions and Intercultural Education. This is the first ever BC Private International School to be hosted right inside an original residential school. Sandy is so very honoured and excited to be part of this journey of rightful Truth and Reconciliation. When Sandy isn't with her family or working she is curling, bike riding, line dancing, playing the ukulele, and crocheting in the winter evenings. Life is good in the former little, old modest, white cabin.
