SHS juniors recently gathered for an important school counseling session focused on setting them up for success! Counselors reviewed updated graduation requirements, dove into post-secondary planning, and helped students start thinking ahead for course scheduling.
Juniors also learned about upcoming one-on-one Junior Meetings and are encouraged to bring a parent or guardian along. These meetings are a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with counselors and plan for the road ahead together.

7th graders at Sanford Middle School just wrapped up a learning unit on the Holocaust, and what a way to finish it. Students spent the past several weeks studying the Holocaust in both social studies and ELA, and capped it all off with a live performance by Russell Kaback whose show, 25044: A Musical Story of Resilience, tells the true story of his grandfather's survival. It was moving, it was powerful, and our kids were fully present for every minute of it.
Margaret Chase Smith third graders recently welcomed families to a special Learning Showcase highlighting their incredible work from their Roman Myths unit.

Thank you to all the families who joined to celebrate this exciting afternoon of mythological mastery!
