Three Sanford Middle School students recently participated in the prestigious Girls' Day at the State House event in Augusta on April 29th. Xyla Kurz, Jay Bouley-Capprotta, and Sophia Guy joined other nominated girls from across Maine for this special educational opportunity. The program included both online preparatory sessions and a full day of in-person activities at the State House. Participants learned about the legislative process, including how bills become laws, and had valuable opportunities to speak with elected officials, policy professionals, activists, and organizers. "I really liked getting to know some other peoples thoughts on why or why not we should have high schools start later and just learn new things," said Sophia Guy about her experience. "I met a lot of leaders I would never have met!" The students appreciated the virtual portion as well. "We got to kind of know some of the people that were also going to be there and some of the group leaders that were going to be there ahead of time," Guy said. According to School Counselor Ms. Quartararo, "These girls were chosen through nominations from their teachers and staff at SMS. It was an impressive honor to be chosen and then of course they followed through with their leadership qualities during the virtual meetings and the powerful in-person day at the capitol. They made us all proud." The Girls' Day at the State House program provides young women with insights into government and leadership while fostering connections with peers and mentors across the state.

Sanford Middle School music teacher Erica Scarano recently achieved a significant professional milestone by serving as guest conductor for the Maine Music Educators Association (MMEA) District 3 Honor Band for 7th and 8th graders. Selected by a vote of her peers from across the 33 school districts and private schools in MMEA District 3, Ms. Scarano was entrusted with the prestigious responsibility of conducting the talented young musicians who earned spots in this select ensemble through competitive auditions. After carefully selecting repertoire for the group during the fall, Scarano met with the student musicians for intensive rehearsals on April 4-5 at Lisbon High School. The two-day event culminated in a successful concert featuring four pieces performed to a capacity audience. "These two days were humbling, affirming, invigorating, fun, and emotional for me," said Ms. Scarano. "I had a great time working with the awesome students and teachers in District 3." The honor band performance was complemented by an honors chorus presentation, conducted by a guest director from Massachusetts. Ms. Scarano's selection as guest conductor highlights the high regard in which her musical expertise and teaching abilities are held by fellow educators throughout the region. Sanford Middle School can take pride in having such an accomplished music educator inspiring our students every day.

Students had a blast during our recent Wellness Fair, which was packed with engaging and hands-on activities that promoted health, safety, and social-emotional learning. They explored a variety of exciting sessions, including fire safety demonstrations, cosmetology tips, and interactive presentations from JMG, our School Resource Officer, and local EMTs. The smoothie bike was a big hit, letting students pedal their way to a healthy treat, while others enjoyed planting seeds, learning about bike safety, and participating in creative SEL activities. The day wrapped up with a lively and meaningful assembly with local legend, Marvin, focused on our theme of the month—cooperation—bringing everyone together to celebrate teamwork, community, and wellness.
