The street leading to a Laveen elementary school may soon bear the name of its long-time principal, Lisa Sandomir, who died in a car accident last year.
The Laveen Elementary School District is requesting the city of Phoenix rename the quarter mile stretch of 38th Avenue next to Maurice C. Cash Elementary School to Sandomir Way.
“Lisa Sandomir was the principal of M.C. Cash for 15 years and had a tremendous impact on this neighborhood and community. Thousands of local residents were educated under her, and she saw multiple generations of families go through her school,” district Superintendent Jeffrey Sprout told the Laveen Village Planning Committee on Monday.
