Over the past few weeks, 7th and 8th grade JMG students at Sanford Middle School completed three career exploration experiences.

Students visited the Sanford Fire Department, the Center for Wildlife, and the Wells and Sanford campuses of York County Community College, including the new First Responder Training Facility in Alfred.

They explored pathways in emergency services, environmental science, electrical work, and welding, getting hands-on exposure to careers they may never have considered before.

We're grateful to all the professionals and organizations who opened their doors to our students!

Big shoutout to the Sanford High School students who visited Sanford Middle School this morning! They took time out of their day to sit down with our rising 9th graders and share their firsthand experiences at SHS — real voices, real stories, and exactly the kind of peer connection that makes a difference. Thank you for helping pave the way!

Sanford Middle School students in Diana Allen and Brock Sanborn's science class have been hard at work researching the world's biomes and the results are impressive!

From detailed tri-fold displays to handcrafted 3D models of sustainable dwellings, these young scientists put their creativity and critical thinking on full display.

Staff and students had the chance to stop by yesterday, ask questions, and even serve as judges, giving students a real-world presenting experience that goes beyond the classroom.

Sanford's Got Talent did not disappoint last Friday! Nearly 20 acts, a packed house at Sanford Middle School, and an amazing night all around.

Congrats to all the finalists and every single student who got up on the stage.

What makes this show extra special is that it's completely student-run. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our students.
