Good evening parents, We're getting excited for school to start this fall! You should receive a letter from your child's teacher and me by next week! Please be on the lookout! Keep reading and playing games together with your children! Have fun playing outside, exploring all the wonders and beauty in nature that inspire curiosity and creativity. One of my all time favorite children's books is What Do You Do With an Idea? by Kobi Yamada. Check it out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oxtvhISKsR8. Visit our local libraries to see what else Kobi Yamada has written! You won't regret it! I received these great resources from the Maine Department of Education regarding attendance and wanted to share them with you (see photos in News Section of this app or our website at www.sanford.org)! Open House is on August 29th from 4:30-6:00pm. Grades 1-4 begin on August 30th, Kindergarten begins on August 31st, and Pre-K starts September 5th. Enjoy the rest of your summer! Please say hello to our students for us and let them know we're excited to see them soon! Sherri Baron, principal Carl J. Lamb Elementary
