Students at Sanford Middle School embraced the Great Kindness Challenge during the last week of January, recording an impressive 5,083 random acts of kindness (RAKs) throughout the building. A highlight of the week included students participating in "Twin Day," where pairs of seventh graders doubled up on kindness while sporting matching tutus. The school's counseling department hallway featured a vibrant paper chain with kind messages and RAK ideas linking the entire corridor. In a friendly classroom competition, students tracked their acts of kindness throughout the week. Mrs. White's 8th-grade homeroom led the school with 1,041 RAKs, while grade-level winners included Mrs. Wilson's 5th grade (356 RAKs), Mr. Pyle's 6th grade (287 RAKs), and Mrs. McCann's 7th grade (261 RAKs). Notable mentions went to Mrs. Fraser's 8th grade class with 1,025 RAKs and Mrs. LaVasseur's class with 261 RAKs.
