Señora Sands, 
Your spirit lives on… 💓

I was in your Spanish class in 1994 in Los Amigos.

Elisa and I worked at Los Amigos High School for several years. We became friends throughout those years. We both would greet each other in the hallways or on campus saying “Hi Beautiful”. We made a pact that because no one else would say that to us, we agreed to greet each other that way always😊 I also recall our trip to Spain in 1988 with 24 AP Spanish students and two other teachers. It was a memory I will always cherish💕  I will always treasure my friendship with Elisa.

Senora Elisa Sands was an inspirational Spanish teacher that many of us shared at both Fitz Junior High School and Los Amigos High School. We loved her Cuban accent and the fun we had when she shared all the dialect distinctions unique to the island. 

Eager to accelerate our learning, she crafted clever competitions that engaged the class, and as a member of the oft-successful "Papas Asadas" team over the years, have to say she really succeeded in motivating the learning, often with class trips to Farrell's.  I tenderly remember her help with my Spanish AP exam and earning a 5 that would not have been possible without 5 years of teaching. In many ways, she inspired me to pursue an academic role that resulting in a law school deanship. 

Senora Sands will be thought of often and very much missed!

Señora Sands was my Spanish teacher at both Fitz and Los Amigos. I will always remember the love that she showed her students and the passion that she brought to her classrooms. She always told us that she felt a special kinship with our class of 1988, as she graduated from Fitz to Los Amigos with us. =)

I remember:
- Team battles in Fitz Spanish class - and "Las Papas Fritas"
- Special pastry pies for the classroom
- Tricking Señora into saying "sheet" of paper

Love,
Lance Bustrum (Los Amigos Class of 1988)
