Two Sanford School Department staff members stepped onto the baseball diamond to receive recognition.
On Monday, June 17th, Dennis Wilson, the school department's technology support specialist for elementary schools, took center stage at Goodall Park.
As part of the Sanford Mainers' Education Week celebration, Wilson was given the honor of throwing out the first pitch before the game.
The following day, June 18th, saw another Sanford staff member in the spotlight, this time at Hadlock Field, home of the Portland Sea Dogs.
Cheryl Gifford, a Jobs for Maine's Graduates (JMG) Specialist at Sanford High School, joined fellow JMG Specialists from across the state in a special recognition ceremony.
The group was honored for their exceptional work on the Maine Career Exploration Badge, a program designed to help students navigate potential career paths.
Gifford's moment in the sun included throwing out a first pitch before the Sea Dogs game.
She also received a personalized Portland Sea Dogs jersey.
