3rd Graders welcomed families and were proud to share their learning about animal adaptations with them.
Last week brought wonderful learning celebrations!

At Margaret Chase Smith Pre-K, our students wrapped up Unit 2 with a joyful Learning Celebration alongside their families. Children proudly shared their work, demonstrated new skills, and guided their grown-ups through hands-on activities from the unit. It was heartwarming to see families learning together and celebrating all the growth happening in Pre-K!

Meanwhile, Carl J. Lamb 3rd graders showcased their analytical skills during their Unit 1 writing celebration. Students selected a main character from the classic tale The Wind In The Willows and provided evidence for specific character traits. They did an excellent job demonstrating their understanding!

Some of CJL’s Favorite Veterans

Yesterday, our school community came together in many different ways to honor our veterans, and today we continue to celebrate and remember those who have served.

Carl J. Lamb Elementary hosted their 3rd Annual Veterans Day Celebration in the cafeteria, where each grade performed songs for the veterans in attendance.

Our talented Sanford Pride chorus students took their gift of music to Pinnacle Health and Rehab in Sanford, where they sang for veterans and brightened their day. These thoughtful students also created handmade cards and letters to show their appreciation and let our veterans know they are remembered and valued.

Margaret Chase Smith School welcomed veterans to their 4th Annual Breakfast with Veterans in the gymnasium.

Thank you to all the veterans who joined us yesterday and to all who have served!
