Sanford Nelson, principal of
Rossman Elementary School in the Detroit Lakes School District
(Minnesota ISD #0022), and a member of
the Minnesota Elementary School Principals’ Association (MESPA), is
Minnesota’s
2010 National Distinguished Principal (NDP). This marks the 27th
year the U.S. Department of
Education and the National Association of Elementary School Principals
(NAESP)
have presented the prestigious award, which has corporate sponsorship
from
VALIC.
“The
opportunity to work as an elementary principal over the past 20 years
has been
my great privilege and honor, “ said Nelson. “During this time, I have
been able to learn from many
outstanding colleagues and use their leadership expertise to enhance my
own
knowledge and skills needed to be a quality principal. These attributes
have
allowed me to remain effective in my job and to move my school forward
in
achieving our mission and goals, but most importantly to create an
environment
that recognizes the best in all children and the adults who support
them.”
