🏈 Flex Time Fun! 🎨

Sanford Middle School 8th graders are loving their Wednesday and Friday Flex sessions! Students get to choose from an amazing variety of activities including flag football, board games, arts and crafts, cross stitching, trail walking, kickball, and basketball.

It's been wonderful watching students explore their interests and try new things in a low-pressure environment. They'll stick with their chosen activity through the end of the first quarter, then have the opportunity to switch it up and try something new!
