From Ms. Sarli, New Sanborn Assistant Principal
Hello Sanborn families,
I am so excited to introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal at Sanborn School. I am extremely honored to have been chosen to work alongside Mrs. Arenberg and help lead a school where the community and staff are committed to doing what is best for our students.
Since my role is about building relationships, I would like to share a bit about myself personally and professionally. I am originally from the south suburbs of Chicago. I am the mother of two little girls-Isabelle,who will be in second grade and Lilianna, who will begin her first school experience as a Kindergartner. I enjoy spending time with my daughters, reading a good book, listening to music, and attending concerts with friends.
I began my teaching career in the south suburbs of Chicago teaching Preschool and Kindergarten. I then moved to the Northwest suburbs and taught in CCSD 15 for 13 years as a Bilingual Kindergarten teacher.
I feel very fortunate to be a part of Sanborn School and support the staff, students, and families. I can not wait to get to meet everyone and start the 2023-24 school year!
Please feel welcome to contact me with any praises, concerns, or questions.
Let’s make it a great year,
Mayella Sarli
Assistant Principal of
Gray M. Sanborn Elementary School
