A big THANK YOU to all the families who joined us for Kindergarten Registration Night at Sanford Pride Elementary last Wednesday! It was wonderful to see so many excited future kindergartners and their families exploring what our schools have to offer. Missed the event? No worries! You can still register your child for kindergarten. Remember: Current Pre-K students in our district are automatically registered (but we loved seeing those who attended)! Special thanks to our amazing community partners who shared resources: MaineHealth, Sanford Backpack Program, Help Me Grow, Kids Free to Grow, United Way, YCCAC, Headstart, First4ME, local childcare centers, and many more!

Ancient Greece came alive in 2nd grade classrooms at Margaret Chase Smith Elementary last week! Students dressed in togas and dove deep into Greek culture through food, stories, and imagination. The highlight? Watching these budding writers share their own original Greek myths with their peers.
