LAND O'LAKES — Tristyn Pace was astonished to see her brand new school for the first time. "It's way different," the third-grader said, comparing Connerton Elementary to Sanders Memorial Elementary, where she and her sister attended last year. "The stuff is way nicer. And bigger."
Connerton Elementary stands just a 10-minute drive from Sanders, on a lonely stretch of Connerton Boulevard in an unfinished section of the giant planned subdivision. But the two schools seemed eons apart to the students, parents and teachers who visited for a recent tour.
