Sanford High School recently held its annual Jobs for Maine's Graduates (JMG) Closing Ceremony on Tuesday, May 20th, celebrating student achievements in the program. The event was led by student co-presidents Alissa Letourneau and Emily Letourneau, beginning with a 2024-2025 JMG video presentation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance by student Rylee LaPierre. Students Sophia DeVoe and Camille Decato recognized program volunteers, while Amber Campbell acknowledged Principal Tracy Gibson’s support. English teacher Mrs. Roy delivered a speech after being introduced by student Natalie Green. Roy emphasized how JMG equips students with essential life skills beyond the classroom, teaching them about finances, credit cards, loans, and job skills while building meaningful connections. "Consider your people, the last time you connected with them," Mrs. Roy advised, sharing a valuable teaching practice of taking inventory of relationships and following up with those who need connection most. SHS senior Kimberly Blanchard presented information on the Maine Career Exploration Model, noting an additional $10,000 was distributed to Sanford students this year, totaling $98,000. The program now includes a framework helping students earn credentials in job readiness, financial literacy, and leadership development. Senior Skyla Clarke shared how JMG transformed her future plans: "I continue working on going through steps of what it takes to enlist in the Air Force, and I am proud to say I have decided to do just that." She encouraged underclassmen to "listen to every adult who wants to share their career path." Senior Emily Letourneau reflected on Ms. Gifford's impact: "Miss Gifford has shaped me to be the person I am today. A mentor is someone who knows what you're capable of, and when you start to slip away from that, they're nearby to pick you back up and keep you on track." Senior Alissa Letourneau described her transformation from a freshman "sitting in the back, AirPods in, head down, trying to stay invisible" to becoming co-president of JMG. Through JMG, she discovered her leadership potential and competed at SkillsUSA winning a gold medal. "This fall, I'll be heading to the University of Southern Maine to study communications to become a NASCAR public relations specialist," she shared, adding, "This is coming from the girl who, just a few years ago, didn't want to leave home or even think about going to college." JMG Specialist Ms. Gifford presented senior spotlights highlighting each graduate's journey and future plans in fields ranging from early childhood education to fire science. The ceremony concluded with remarks from Izzy Mitchell, celebrating the strong community developed through JMG and its lasting impact on students' futures.

The Sanford Springvale Rotary Club held its annual Scholarship Breakfast this morning, awarding a total of $15,000 to eight deserving local students. Five Sanford High School seniors were among the recipients, highlighting the exceptional talent and dedication of our community's youth. The five Sanford High School scholarship recipients included Tatiana Glavin, Lucas McLean, Timothy McGee, Anna Morgan, and Sadie Sevigny. Each student received significant financial support for their college education, with four students receiving $1,500 scholarships and Sadie Sevigny receiving a $2,500 scholarship. Additional scholarships were awarded to students from Noble High School and Massabesic High School. According to Mr. Thomas from the Rotary Club, the selection process focuses on several key factors. "We're looking for volunteer hours. That's very important to us," he explained. The committee also considers family financial situations, academic achievements, and extracurricular involvement in activities like debate, chorus, drama, and athletics. What truly distinguished this year's recipients was their clear vision for the future. Lucas McLean, for example, plans to attend Thomas College to study finance with aspirations of becoming a CFO of a corporation. This forward-thinking approach impressed the selection committee. The Rotary Club members were particularly moved by the exceptional gratitude displayed by this year's scholarship recipients. "I've never seen a more appreciative group of students than we had this year," noted Mr. Thomas. After the ceremony, each student personally thanked the Rotary members
