Sanford Middle School's 7th Grade Jobs for Maine's Graduates (JMG) students and the SMS Student Leadership Team recently traveled to the University of New England for the annual Middle School Leadership Summit.
The event brought together students from across southern Maine to tackle real issues affecting their schools and communities. SMS students had the opportunity to collaborate with their peers, brainstorm creative solutions, share what has and hasn't worked in their own school, and exchange ideas for positive change.
The experience didn't end when students returned to Sanford — those who attended will be carrying their new ideas and insights into next year, working to identify what can be implemented right here at home.
Students did an incredible job representing their school and community with enthusiasm, collaboration, and school pride.
