Sanford Pride Elementary School recently held its annual Celebration of Learning event, featuring a vibrant art show and grade-level concerts showcasing student talent and creativity. The week-long celebration took place just before April vacation.
Families were invited to explore the school's hallways, which were transformed into art galleries displaying student artwork and classroom exhibits that had been months in the making. Each evening featured musical performances from different grade levels, with kindergarten and first grade performing Monday, second and third grades on Tuesday, and fourth grade closing the celebration on Thursday.
Music teacher Meghan Mannino expressed her pride in the students' accomplishments: "Students in grades K-4 work on concert music, art projects, and classroom exhibits over several months. This week, students finally had their special nights to share their learning with family members, friends, teachers, and the community."
The event was well-attended across all three evenings, with packed audiences enjoying the fruits of the students' hard work. "Their excitement and smiles were contagious during the performances," noted Mannino. "The art- and project-filled hallways also looked colorful and absolutely amazing."
