Hi, I'm Mrs. Sartain!

It is my privilege to welcome your child to my Spotlight class!  I look forward to helping him/her discover what he/she does well so that he/she can soar like an eagle.

 

I, a product of DeSoto County Schools, graduated from Southaven High School (still a Charger at heart) and the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor's Degree in 2002 and 2007 respectively.  I obtained my master’s degree in gifted, talented, and creative in 2020. Horn Lake Intermediate School has been my home professionally for over fifteen years now.  I taught fourth grade for three years (2007-2010), third grade for seven years (2010-2017), and fifth grade for one year (2017-2018).  This is my fifth year out of the general education classroom. 

 

On a more personal note, I am married to my Prince Charming, Clay, and I have one fur baby, a rambunctious beagle named Ferriss.  My hobbies include antiquing, exercising, singing karaoke, and playing trivia.

 

Quoting Albert Einstein, I wholeheartedly believe that “creativity is intelligence having fun.”
