Mrs. Allaire's third graders worked in pairs to write programs to direct a third teammate's cup stacking.

Mrs. Sullivan's second graders created a town and programmed BeeBot, a robot that looks like a bee, to go down the road, around corners, and under tunnels.

Frosty greeted CJL students this morning. So many hugs & smiles to start the day.


Channel 8 Meteorologist, Ted McInerney, and his camera crew will be at CJL on Friday, December 13th broadcasting the Weather at Our School segment of their morning weather report. Students are invited to be dropped off at school beginning at 6:00AM to attend this special event! Please see the attached flyer created by our PTA. Help remind your student to smile for the camera, to be appropriate with their words and actions, and to have fun representing our wonderful school and community!


Hi CJL Families,
This is just a follow up reminder from the flyer that came home before the holiday weekend and to clarify how the two storm days effected our schedule.

Please save the date and spread the word! Come get a jump on your holiday shopping with local crafters and retailers. Great food, fun, and something for everyone!


There is no school tomorrow or Columbus Day. Enjoy your long weekend! When we return, students will begin NWEA testing in reading and mathematics. This is a test taken on iPads that gives teachers specific information about your child's academic strengths and weaknesses. When children take the test to the best of their ability, our information is most accurate. We ask for your help encouraging your child to try their best, get a good night's sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast. We advise that students bring healthy snacks and a water bottle to school please. The NWEA testing window at CJL will be open between October 15th and the 25th. Thank you for your support!

The Flu Shot Clinic at CJL has been moved from October 17th to October 16th. If you would like your child to receive a flu shot at school on October 16th, please complete and return the form that we have sent home. It's not too late! If you need a new form, please let your child's classroom teacher know.

Please save the date Thursday, October 24th for CJL’s PTA Sponsored Fall Family FUN Festival which will go from 5:30-7:00PM. This is a free event, but you may want to have your wallet for the food/bake sale. Hope to see you there!
PS: Thursday, October 24th is the correct date. It is not on the 25th of October.

Tomorrow is Friday - Remember to try to wear something red and white to show our Sanford Pride and Spartan school spirit.

The Sanford School Department wants to remind parents to renew their Free and Reduced Meal Applications before October 15th to avoid any break in eligibility. Paper applications are available by calling your child’s school or parents can use the new, secure online application available at: https://www.myschoolapps.com/ . If you have any questions about the process, please contact our Foodservice Office at 608-8762.

Just a friendly reminder that our school fundraiser is due back on Friday please. All proceeds raised will be used to support students by providing educational enrichment opportunities. We thank you in advance for your participation!

Don't forget to bring in your Box Tops! Which classroom will win an ice cream party and the coveted Box Top trophy? You are also encouraged to download the Box Top App and scan your receipts. This is free money for our school. It’s like saving dimes. If we get really good and ask our friends and family to support Carl J. Lamb School, we know from experience that this could equate to over $4,000 from this year alone! We appreciate your support with Box Tops for Education!

Though we’re celebrating beautiful weather today, our mornings have been chilly and winter is right around the corner. Our classrooms remain quite warm so layered clothing is still best. If your child is in need of help with a winter coat, we have had new coat donations. Please email Mrs. Scremin, our friendly school counselor, at jscremin@sanford.org or call 608-8769 and leave her a message. If you’re looking for something to donate, we are in need of new mittens and gloves. Thank you! Enjoy your weekend!
