8th grade JMG students from Sanford Middle School recently traveled to Central Maine Community College in Auburn to participate in the two-day Maine Youth Action Network Leadership Conference.

Students attended workshops led by youth and organizations from across Maine working to make a positive impact in our state, visited a networking fair where they made meaningful connections related to their interests, and took part in hands-on leadership training sessions.

Our students were complimented by conference attendees and organizers for their professionalism, energy, and level of engagement. We are so proud of everything these students represented at this event!

Big things happening in third grade at Carl J. Lamb Elementary! 🌟 Our students have been exploring space through reading, using Venn diagrams to organize their thinking, and writing paragraphs to compare and contrast what they've learned.

Last week, Sanford Regional Technical Center hosted its annual Celebrating Partnerships event, and it was a great night! Local business partners, educators, and students came together to celebrate all the amazing things that happen when community and education work hand in hand.

One of the highlights of the evening was a student panel where some of SRTC's own shared what their programs and internships have meant to them.

The night was topped off with food prepared by SRTC's Culinary students and floral centerpieces from the Agriculture program. It really was a full school effort. Read more about it here! https://www.sanford.org/article/2783061

Mrs. Hally's Title literacy students at Margaret Chase Smith had a reading challenge this March for a chance to earn lunch with Mrs. Hallissey and Ms. McGuckin, and they absolutely crushed it.

First and second graders set out to read 100 books this month. First grade finished with 121 books and second grade came in at 124. Way to go, readers!

Third and fourth graders had a different challenge: read for 20 minutes a day, 50 times total throughout March. Third grade hit 64 sessions and fourth grade came in at 62. Both grades blew past their goals!

To celebrate, students got to enjoy lunch together and play games while sharing their favorite books.

Something really cool is happening in Mrs. LaPointe's 4th grade class at Carl J. Lamb Elementary! Students have been learning to code using Micro: Bits, small computers that bring their code to life with lights, sounds, buttons, and sensors.

Through this hands-on experience, kids are building problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills while learning how technology actually works. The goal is simple but powerful: we want our students to be creators of technology, not just users of it.

Sanford Middle School recently welcomed Boomer, the beloved mascot of the Sanford Mainers, for special assemblies with 5th and 6th graders! Boomer kicked off the Mainers' Bookworms program, challenging the whole school to read through the beginning of April. It's a fun way to celebrate reading while connecting students to their hometown team!
