Big shoutout to the Sanford High School students who visited Sanford Middle School this morning! They took time out of their day to sit down with our rising 9th graders and share their firsthand experiences at SHS — real voices, real stories, and exactly the kind of peer connection that makes a difference. Thank you for helping pave the way!

Sanford Middle School students in Diana Allen and Brock Sanborn's science class have been hard at work researching the world's biomes and the results are impressive!

From detailed tri-fold displays to handcrafted 3D models of sustainable dwellings, these young scientists put their creativity and critical thinking on full display.

Staff and students had the chance to stop by yesterday, ask questions, and even serve as judges, giving students a real-world presenting experience that goes beyond the classroom.
