Sanford Schools grade 4 students have been learning how to turn their strengths and interests into careers.
Last month, The Finance Authority of Maine visited all grade 4 classrooms and completed an activity in which students identified what they liked to do, what they were good at, and what potential careers in the future they could do.
Building upon that activity, all grade 4 students visited either the Southern Maine Aviation or Moody's Collision and learned about careers matching their interests.
Students learned what careers required a high school diploma, internship, on-the-job training, or a college degree. Many thanks to FAME, Southern Maine Aviation, Moody's Collision, Sanford Elementary School Counselors, and administrators for making this possible.




Dear Parents and Families:
We had an unexpected lockdown today at Pride. One of our staff members experienced a medical emergency. The staff member was transported by ambulance and is receiving medical care.
The students and staff did an excellent job during this emergency.
Sincerely,
Susan Inman, Principal

Students in Mrs. Case's Kindergarten classroom at Sanford Pride Elementary were fortunate to be visited by one of their classmate's families, to teach the students about their Mexican culture and family traditions. They brought family heirlooms, clothing, and instruments. They played authentic music and demonstrated and taught the students dance steps. They also taught the students Spanish words and finished with a Spanish Bingo game. This was such a fun and meaningful way to wrap up their cultural
celebration.

In health class at Sanford Pride Elementary, the students made smoothies with the blender bike. This is a bike lent to us from a community engagement initiative called Let's Go 5-2-1-0 which works with schools and communities to create environments that support healthy behaviors. The use of the blender bike aligns with our nutrition and physical activity unit in health class, which explores food groups, identifying healthy foods and snacks, and the benefits of physical activity.
