Third graders in Mrs. Boivin's class at Sanford Pride are making math facts fun through engaging games! These interactive activities, which connect directly to our Reveal Math curriculum, help students build quick and confident recall of basic math facts - like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Just like learning to read fluently helps children understand stories better, becoming fluent with math facts allows students to easily tackle more complex math problems. By practicing these fundamental skills through games that align with our math program, students develop the strong mathematical foundation they'll need for success in higher-level math.

Employee spotlight! Meet Carl J. Lamb Food Service Manager Debra Mello. How long have you been working in the Sanford School Department? 17 Years What's your favorite part about working in Sanford? My first impression of Sanford 24 years ago was that it is very family friendly. That is still the case. I love working with the kids. What's your favorite TV show or movie? Mostly watch a lot of football! If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be? I asked friends and co-workers for help with this and the three that came up the most are funny, kind and talkative (but in a good way). If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be? England Podcasts or Playlists? Playlists Lake or Ocean? Ocean Sunrise or Sunset? Sunset Facebook or Instagram? Facebook
