The SRTC / SHS annual College and Career Fair took place on November 7th for juniors and seniors in booth schools. This event gives students an opportunity to visit with both employers and institutions as post-secondary options. Students came prepared to ask employers or colleges relevant questions that could impact their future. While this is a major undertaking, this is crucially beneficial to our students. The connections made here could be the groundwork for a career in the future or an opportunity to attend additional training / schooling after high school.

Sanford High School’s National Art Honor Society (NAHS) students recently took a field trip to Rockland, led by Ms. Warner and Ms. Quarles. The October 4th event offered students a unique opportunity to experience Maine’s diverse art scene through visits to multiple acclaimed venues. At the Farnsworth Museum, students explored the legacy of the renowned Wyeth family, examining works spanning three generations. They also discovered how Maine’s landscape, particularly Monhegan Island, has influenced numerous local artists. The Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) provided an interactive experience where students engaged with works by three contemporary artists. Students participated in hands-on art-making activities and meaningful discussions about modern artistic expression. The day concluded with a stop at the historic Olson House in Cushing. While interior access was restricted, students captured photographs of the house and surrounding landscape.

The Sanford School Committee welcomed its two new student representatives, SHS juniors Matthew Melvin and Zachary Moores, bringing fresh voices and ideas to the table. Alongside current student representative, senior Elsie Gendron, these students help the committee make important contributions to their school community. For Zachary Moores, the motivation to become a student representative stems from the desire to empower his peers. When asked about his reasons for joining, Moores explained, "I wanted to give students the choice to voice their opinion to the school committee if they feel nervous." Moore brings valuable skills to his new role, including strong communication abilities and the confidence to share his opinions. Reflecting on his strengths, he stated, "I tend to voice my opinion on things. This is important because you need to be able to communicate. I'm a great communicator." Matthew Melvin, a three-sport athlete, brings experience from his involvement in Sanford High School's student government and class leadership. When discussing his decision to join the School Committee, Melvin shared his motivations: "I wanted to join the School Committee for multiple reasons. First, so I can make a positive contribution to the community. I also wanted to give a voice to the teachers and students around me.” Melvin and Moores are joining Elsie Gendron, who has been a student representative since fall of 2023. Her journey to the school committee was driven by a desire to find her voice in the community and stand up for her peers. Over her tenure, Gendron has noted improvement in her public speaking and summarization skills. Drawing from her experience, she offered wisdom for the new student representatives: "My biggest piece of advice would just be to learn what you can," Gendron emphasized. "It's a very cool opportunity to see the inner workings of something we otherwise may not get the chance to see."
