About Sandy Carl

I am a life-long learner! I love to teach! I was honored with 28 years in the classroom as well as independent study experience. I worked Kindergarten through College courses. Mentoring and working with teachers was a wonderful part of my educational experience. Today, I manage a consulting business - Passion In Education. I'm excited to still have access to educators. We welcome you to our virtual world!

Each February, Fresno County Office of Education provides a time and place for MATHCOUNTS Competition.  MATHCOUNTS offers fun and engaging programs that get middle school students excited about math. These programs include the MATHCOUNTS Competition Program, the MATHCOUNTS Club Program, and the MATHCOUNTS Reel Math Challenge.  This year 17 schools competed at The Satellite Student Union at Fresno State.

Winning team, Granite Ridge in Clovis!

Thank you, Jon Dueck for all your work in providing this competition.
