The Sandy Erickson Race for Christian Education
About the Sandy Erickson Race for Christian Education
The Sandy Erickson Race for Christian Education honors the life and legacy of Mrs. Sandy Erickson, a beloved first-grade teacher at Collegedale Academy Elementary School for over twenty years.
Mrs. Erickson was deeply committed to her students, investing countless hours in one-on-one mentoring to ensure each child’s success. She found joy in nurturing new teachers, guiding college student volunteers, and encouraging parents with her kindness and wisdom.
Even after her diagnosis with A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), Mrs. Erickson inspired everyone around her with her unwavering faith, cheerful spirit, and Christlike selflessness. Her classroom, often adorned with hot air balloons, became a symbol of her optimism and ability to uplift others.
With gratitude for her enduring impact, Collegedale Academy proudly dedicates this annual Fun Run to Mrs. Erickson’s memory. Join us in celebrating her legacy and supporting Christian education!
