Kindergarten and first grade classrooms at Margaret Chase Smith are getting students excited for summer break by having an ABC countdown. Each day between now and the end of the school year will have a corresponding letter. The letters are then tied to an activity that the coyotes participate in! So far, students have had A for fresh AIR, B for bubbles, c for chalk, and d for dance!

The Sanford School Department caught up with teacher Kristi Peters, who is in her fourth year working at Sanford Middle School. Peters has a joy of working with her students. "It's always funny because everyone asks, especially non-teachers, 'Are you so excited for the summer?' And I say, 'No, I'm not because I love these students.'" "I just feel so lucky to have them," she said. "They are fun. They are the best-natured kids." Peters pointed to the support of the administrators and principals that have made working at Sanford Middle School so rewarding. "They make it so much fun to teach here," she said. "They are so supportive. Honestly, that's appreciation all year. It's wonderful to work here. It means so much, but I don't think any of us ever expect it. But it's so, so nice to be a part of this." When asked about three things she'd bring on a deserted island, she said: "I would definitely bring something to read, maybe a never-ending book, a lifetime supply of pizza, and then I would also want tools so I can trap an animal to be my friend."

Sanford Schools grade 4 students have been learning how to turn their strengths and interests into careers. Last month, The Finance Authority of Maine visited all grade 4 classrooms and completed an activity in which students identified what they liked to do, what they were good at, and what potential careers in the future they could do. Building upon that activity, all grade 4 students visited either the Southern Maine Aviation or Moody's Collision and learned about careers matching their interests. Students learned what careers required a high school diploma, internship, on-the-job training, or a college degree. Many thanks to FAME, Southern Maine Aviation, Moody's Collision, Sanford Elementary School Counselors, and administrators for making this possible.

The Sanford School Department caught up with Margaret Chase Smith 4th Grade teacher Lauren Brown. Lauren is in her first year at Margaret Chase Smith School. Lauren has quite literally see her students grow over the course of the year. “I actually measure them at the beginning of the year, and they’ve grown like three or four inches,” she said. “But also academically, they’ve grown so much and we’re all one big happy family in my classroom.” But more important, her students have been actively engaged and ready to learn once they arrive at class. “And the kids, they come in and they are just so excited to come in and learn, and I’m so excited to see them.” In just her first year at the school, Lauren has been impressed with how close the Sanford community is. “I think the family aspect is great,” she said. “The parents are really great and my coworkers are like family to me, too, so I think the closeknit community of it all is great." Thank you Lauren Brown!
