Attention all 8th grade girls basketball players who are interested in playing basketball next year at the high school. There will be a meeting in the gym on Monday May 15th from 1:35-2:00 with Varsity Basketball Coach Rossi Kearson.
The Sanford School Department caught up with Margaret Chase Smith 4th Grade teacher Lauren Brown. Lauren is in her first year at Margaret Chase Smith School.
Lauren has quite literally see her students grow over the course of the year.
“I actually measure them at the beginning of the year, and they’ve grown like three or four inches,” she said. “But also academically, they’ve grown so much and we’re all one big happy family in my classroom.”
But more important, her students have been actively engaged and ready to learn once they arrive at class.
“And the kids, they come in and they are just so excited to come in and learn, and I’m so excited to see them.”
In just her first year at the school, Lauren has been impressed with how close the Sanford community is.
“I think the family aspect is great,” she said. “The parents are really great and my coworkers are like family to me, too, so I think the closeknit community of it all is great."
Thank you Lauren Brown!

The Sanford School Department caught up with SMS Special Education teacher Jessica Allen.
She was also the IEP coordinator for six years before returning to the classroom this year.
"I'm really happy to be back in the classroom," Allen said. "I missed the connection with students, working with them directly ... I definitely feel appreciated here in the school."
"I think we have a lot of community support," Allen said. "We have a great group of kids … seeing that resiliency and coming back to school and facing those challenges is great."
She has some students reading a book together that everyone is really into and excited about.
"For them to be able to get excited when they are understanding something or when they are happy about what they are learning … it's that much better.
When asked about three things she would bring on a deserted island, she said: "A book, a bunch of snacks, and a friend."
