Hahahaha! Good one!

This is from my Sanford Preparatory School's website: The farm, then known as Pine Glen Farm, was purchased by Sanford and Ellen Sawin in 1929, as a home for their 5 children and for several other boys and girls who needed a home and a family. Sanford Sawin, Jr., the eldest son, had died in 1916 and it is in his memory that his parents founded a school on September 24, 1930.
The Sawins chose a premise on which to found the school, originally known as Sunny Hills School. It will be a school where “No Talent Lies Latent”, a school where children will know the love of learning, a school in which each child will play an integral part.

Got to go! My talent is lying latent!
