This spotlight is on Sanford Pride Music Teacher Meaghan Mannino  How long have you worked in the Sanford School Department?   I've been teaching elementary music in Sanford for five years. Before this, I taught music in New Hampshire for three years, and I was also an ed tech at Sanford Junior High School for one year.   What's your favorite part about working in Sanford?  I was fortunate to have attended Sanford Schools myself, and I love that I'm able to share music in a community that has given me so much. Additionally, my wonderful coworkers and students make SPE a place I love coming to each day.  What's your favorite TV show or Movie?  I guess that depends on the day! I must admit that I'm a huge nerd and love watching anything Star Wars or Marvel, but I also enjoy sappy Hallmark movies or a good laugh from The Office.  If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be? Crazy cat lady  If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be?  Hmm... either Ireland or Rome.  Iced coffee or hot coffee?  Hot in the morning, iced in the afternoon.  Playlists or podcasts?  As a music person, I have to say playlists. I love a good podcast, too.  Lake or ocean?  Lake. I enjoy the wildlife and peacefulness, and lakes are perfect for camping.   Sunrise or sunset?  Sunrise  Facebook or Instagram? Facebook

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.
