In honor of School Custodian Day, the Sanford School Department would like to recognize our custodial and maintenance staff's hard work over the summer to make our educational environment clean, safe, and inviting to everyone.
The summer is actually the busiest time of the year for the custodial and maintenance crew because they have ten weeks to turn the buildings around and be ready for students and staff in the fall.
They deep cleaned every area of our buildings, including washing and removing all the furniture from every room. They then cleaned the rooms from the top down, including lights, windows, and walls, and ended with refinishing the floors or washing the carpets.
They also did minor facility repairs, light bulb replacements, and paint touch-ups.
During the summer, they also have to attend to daily custodial needs with programs such as Extended School Year, Summer Food Service, and Summer Camps going on.
They also created a new welcoming vestibule at Carl J. Lamb School with upgraded LED lights, a new ceiling, and an updated reception counter. Additionally, they painted and gave the entire lobby at the school a facelift.
The maintenance team also spent a lot of time keeping the lawns at our schools at bay from the rainy summer.
We shine the spotlight on our custodial and maintenance teams, who worked diligently behind the scenes to create an optimal learning environment for our students and staff.
Their hard work and attention to detail make them vital to our school community.

Rain or shine, volunteers for the Walking School Bus Program at Sanford Pride Elementary show up every day to help a group of students make the morning bus.
This is the second year of the program at Sanford Pride. Carol Lantagne is the program’s coordinator. Every day before school, she and a staff member or two from Pride will walk in a specific neighborhood in Sanford to ensure kids in the area arrive for the bus on time and ready for the day.
The volunteers meet in the CVS parking lot on Main Street, approximately a half mile from the school, at 7:35 a.m.
They begin their route walking opposite the school, taking a right onto Charles Street, then a left on State Street Court. During their route, they pick up students from their homes and make their way to the bus stop.
The students are excited to be walking with familiar faces of students and volunteers from the school. Read more about the program here: https://www.sanford.org/article/1256282

SHS School Counselors and Upward Bound Coordinators are holding a forum on October 25 from 1:30-3:30 on the SHS Agora for seniors looking for help with their college applications. All seniors are invited and should bring their Chromebook or laptop and questions.

Margaret Chase Smith had their “Popsicles on the Playground” event last week. Seeing the students and families come together for some refreshing treats, laughter, and playtime was a heartwarming sight. Building a strong school community is essential, and events like these help us achieve that goal. Thank the school’s PTA for making "Popsicles on the Playground" a fantastic and memorable occasion.
