Sanford School Nutrition is happy to announce that we are relaunching our After School Super Snack Program at SHS starting Monday, 10/20/2025. Super Snacks will be served after the last bell from 2:15 - 2:45. These meals will be served Monday-Thursday when after school enrichment activities are offered. These meals are free of charge and we encourage all students to take advantage of this after school program!
JMG students at Sanford Middle School received a grant on October 3rd to support their SnackDash initiative! This amazing program helps supply classrooms with snacks to keep our students fueled and focused throughout the day.
The grant was awarded by national nonprofit Explore. Act. Tell. (E.A.T.).
A huge shoutout to Alana Perez (now a freshman at Sanford High School) who applied for this grant last May while still at SMS. She went above and beyond, even creating and filming her own video submission on behalf of the JMG students. Her dedication and hard work truly paid off!

There was a great turnout at today's Homecoming Parade!
We're proud to celebrate Margaret Chase Smith Elementary School music teacher Heather Hastings, who recently received national recognition for her original composition "Unwavering."
Her piece premiered at Thomas S. Wootton High School in Maryland, where she worked directly with student musicians to bring her work to life. The composition honors Gladys Stone Wright, one of the first female band directors in the United States.
Heather was presented with her award by the President of Women Band Directors International (WBDI) and will be honored this December with a lifetime membership to the organization. Read more here: https://www.sanford.org/article/2477021
