On Friday, April 12th, Margaret Chase Smith students participated in another fantastic health and wellness fair.   There were many opportunities for students to engage in activities that promoted their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.  From personal safety and CPR training sessions to hands-on activities like planting seeds and practicing meditation, students had the chance to explore various aspects of wellness in a fun and interactive environment.   Additionally, they learned about the importance of the 5-2-1-0 principles for healthy living while enjoying coloring, face painting, and card decorating activities.

MCS's Reading Under the Sea Event Draws Over 120 Participants
Boomer, Bruce the Moose, and Chase made a special appearance at Margaret Chase Smith on Friday for its assembly.  They were excited to introduce a new baseball-themed reading challenge to encourage a love for reading among MCS students.  Just like baseball requires practice and dedication, so does reading. By participating in this challenge, your child will have fun and develop essential literacy skills.  Each student will receive a permission slip to sign up. Students track the number of minutes they have read in 15-minute increments.   After they have completed four hours of reading, they will receive two free tickets to a Sanford Mainers game! Students must return the permission slip by April 1st to receive their reading log.

New Kindergarten Student Early Registration Event
In a display of community camaraderie and spirited competition, Sanford First Responders and Teachers recently took to the basketball court for a charity game on Thursday, February 15th.   The event saw Sanford Pride and Margaret Chase Smith Elementary school staff lace up their sneakers and face off against Sanford’s first responders.  While the primary goal was to help Sanford children, the game also allowed individuals from different sectors of the community to come together, fostering a sense of unity and goodwill.  The significance of events like these extends far beyond the final score. Not only do they provide a platform for charitable giving, but they also serve as a reminder of the power of community collaboration.
