Good evening. Here is the link to the latest Sanford School Department newsletter - https://tinyurl.com/yj7jx4hc. This edition highlights the Spring Sing Concert at the Sanford Performing Arts Center, which brought together student vocalists from across the district in grades 4–12. We also spotlight Sanford High School's Key Club, SRTC Culinary students competing in the Maine State ProStart competition for the first time ever, and Sanford Pride Elementary's Health Fair. You'll find student work from the SMS Times online newspaper, Sights Around Our Schools, a visit from WMTW to Sanford Middle School, and much more. We also share highlights from each school, important updates, and ways to stay connected with Sanford Schools.
Last Friday, students at Carl J. Lamb Elementary enjoyed a special Mystery Reader event! Teachers, staff, admin, and parents volunteered their time to visit classrooms and read aloud to students for 20-minute sessions. Books were provided for any readers who needed them.
It was a wonderful way to bring the school community together around a love of reading. A big thank you to everyone who participated and made it such a memorable day for our kids!
