This morning, Sanford High School Class of 2025 made their ceremonial walk through our schools in their caps and gowns!
The graduates visited Sanford Middle School, Sanford Pride Elementary, Carl J. Lamb Elementary, and Margaret Chase Smith Elementary before finishing their journey at Sanford High School.
What a heartwarming tradition! Seniors got to reconnect with former teachers who helped shape their journey, while current students lined the hallways cheering and celebrating the Class of 2025.

Grade 2 News - May 5, 2025
The second grade students recently completed a study of Cycles in Nature. The children created many projects related to the subjects they learned about. These projects showcased their understanding of various cycles such as animals, plants, seasons and weather. We have since moved on to learning about The War of 1812. Our first lessons have focused on learning about the important role of James Madison, the reasons the war began and how the war progressed and ended. The students are currently writing persuasive pieces of writing where they are choosing to either support or oppose the war.
In Math, second grade students are practicing their strategies in adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers. We are additionally learning how to read and comprehend math word problems. Our next unit is a focus on reading and interpreting graphs.
We are looking forward to the many end of the year events such as field trips and field day!
It has been an amazing year of growth and learning in second grade at SPE!
