Sanford Middle Schooler Josh Fogarty baked his way through the holiday season. Josh baked cookies, cakes, and other treats in December to raise money for the Toys for Tots program. Each year, he raises money to help children in need.


Sanford Middle Schooler Grayson Perro set up a cocoa stand to raise money to buy holiday gifts for residents of the York County Shelter Program.
He set up his stand in front of the Bowl-A-Rama on Route 109 and sold cocoa, caramel corn, cookies, and brownies.
Friends and family members joined him. This is Grayson’s fourth year operating a cocoa stand.


Every month, Sanford Middle School students who make a positive difference in the school are honored with a certificate and a treat. Here are a few of the honorees with Mrs. Avery.
