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."

The curtain has fallen on Sanford High School’s 2024 Homecoming Week. From October 9-14, the halls echoed with the sounds of Broadway as students, faculty, and staff came together to celebrate the school spirit in theatrical style, culminating in the high school’s annual Homecoming Parade. Each class brought their chosen Broadway musical theme to life during the parade. Seniors transformed the school into Rydell High with their “Grease” theme, complete with leather jackets and poodle skirts. The juniors made a splash with “The Little Mermaid", the sophomores took everyone “Back to the Future,” with creative DeLorean cutouts and 1950s-inspired decor, and the freshmen had “Hamilton”-themed displays and revolutionary spirit. There were spirit days throughout the week, which encouraged students to dress in creative costumes each day to earn points for their grades. Monday was “Country vs Pop,” Tuesday was “Twin Day,” Wednesday students dressed as their Broadway musical, and Thursday was “Red and White” day. There were also varsity home games each day and the student section was encouraged to wear the theme of the night. On Thursday, students were dismissed by grade to attend the Pep Rally. Each grade had its own student section in the competition gym.
