🏈 Flex Time Fun! 🎨

Sanford Middle School 8th graders are loving their Wednesday and Friday Flex sessions! Students get to choose from an amazing variety of activities including flag football, board games, arts and crafts, cross stitching, trail walking, kickball, and basketball.

It's been wonderful watching students explore their interests and try new things in a low-pressure environment. They'll stick with their chosen activity through the end of the first quarter, then have the opportunity to switch it up and try something new!

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!
