📚✏️ THANK YOU to all the families who joined us for our Kindergarten Exploration Event last Thursday! We were thrilled to welcome over 50 families across Carl J. Lamb, Margaret Chase Smith, and Sanford Pride Elementary Schools.
It was wonderful seeing our future kindergarteners exploring classrooms, meeting teachers, and getting comfortable in their new schools! The smiles and excitement were contagious!
