Sanford Pride Elementary wrapped up the week before April vacation with its Celebration of Learning, a series of spring concerts showcasing the musical talents of students in Kindergarten through Fourth Grade. The events gave families a chance to see firsthand the hard work students have put in throughout the school year. Each evening featured live performances in the school's café, with students singing songs ranging from upbeat favorites to classical pieces. Kindergartners performed songs like "Honey Bee" and "The Bunny Boogie," while First Graders sang numbers including "If It Walks Like a Duck" and "Hey Bunny." Second Graders took on songs such as "If I Could Catch a Rainbow" and "It Starts With Me," and Third Graders performed "Big Blue Marble" and "Earthlings, Unite!" alongside ukulele demonstrations. Fourth Grade families enjoyed a special SPE Chorus performance as well as recorder demonstrations, and the evening included crowd favorites like "Best Day of My Life" and "Raining Tacos." The concert series kicked off on April 13 with Kindergarten and First Grade, followed by Second and Third Grade on April 14. The series concluded on April 16 with the Fourth Grade concert. In addition to the concerts, families were invited to visit the Art Room to view student artwork and projects, and a Library Book Fair was open for browsing throughout the week. The Celebration of Learning was made possible through the support of SPE staff, the Sanford Music Boosters, the SPE PTA, and many community partners.
