Does our new class representative for the Class of 1966, journalist Sandra Pinckney, look familiar to you? If you are a US-based foodie, you may recognize her from her award-winning television shows Food Finds on the Food Network, or Blue Ribbon on the Turner South network.

 

If you are from the Baltimore area, you may recognize her name as a contributing food writer for the daily newspaper the Baltimore Sun.

 

In addition to her busy life as a journalist, Sandra devotes her time to various causes, including one that is very dear to our SAS third graders, The Heifer Foundation. (Every year, the third graders participate in The Heifer Foundation's 'Read to Feed' Program).

 

When she was a child, Pinckney's father was in the diplomatic corps, so she moved often, settling in places across the US and in Cambodia, here at SAS, and in Kuala Lumpur. She attended SAS from 1963 to 1965.

 

Now based in North Carolina, Pinckney has one daughter Aina, who is a staff writer for the Village Voice in New York.
