September 5, 2025

Good People,


We have had a great start to the school year this week. You all have amazing humans and we have enjoyed their positivity and kindness.


This week we learned new routines and practices which the students are settling into very nicely. We know that the transition back to school is a lot of collective work between the school and the home and we appreciate your partnership always.


In Partnership,


Naida Grussing-Neitzel, Ed.S.

Principal

Maria Sanford Middle School.

From the Media Center From the Media Center

Next week 6th graders will get new chromebooks checked out to them during ELA class. Please send their old chrome books to school Monday- if they have it from last year to return to the media center. If they returned them in the spring to their old school, that's ok too.


If you have a new student, please remind them that they can ask for a pass in advisory to go to the media center to check out a chromebook.

The Sanford PTA needs your help! We are building a silent auction for our Fall Fundraiser, and we are looking for donations. Do you own a local business that could donate a gift card? Do you have a vacation rental? Do you have access to tickets to local sporting events? Could you build a basket with other Sanford families? Do you have anything cool you think people might want to bid on? OR do you know anyone you could ask to donate any of these things? Any amount or value is appreciated and will help us to achieve our goal of fundraising money for Sanford. Contact Allison Bodkin at allisonfbodkin@yahoo.com with your donations or questions.

Save the Date! The event will be held at Arbeiter Brewing on October 23rd from 5p-8p. Join us for a kid free night of craft beer, snacks and a silent auction to support our school. There is a suggested admission donation of $10/person. All are welcome! We hope to see you there!
