Thank you and have a good night.
On Friday, Sanford Pride Elementary hosted NED’S Resiliency Ride. The focus of this show was the power of resilience and how to bounce back and overcome challenges. The presenter used magic and yo-yo tricks to share this message of resiliency and grit. The students really enjoyed the show!

We're so proud of our Sanford Middle School and Sanford High School JMG students who volunteered with Toys for Tots!
On December 11th, our 7th graders teamed up with high school students to load in, count, and sort thousands of toys, getting everything organized for distribution.
On December 12th, our 8th graders helped families shop for toys, making the experience welcoming and special for everyone involved.
This annual volunteer effort is always a wonderful opportunity for our students to serve their community and gain perspective on the needs of their neighbors during the holiday season. Thank you to all our JMG students for your hard work.
