Due to the weather, the 7th Grade Laudholm Farm trip is going to be postponed until Friday, June 14. Please make sure that your student wears appropriate clothing, including comfortable footwear such as sneakers. Also, he or she should have insect repellent, sunscreen, and plenty of water. If your student ordered a school lunch ahead of time, it will be provided. If not, he or she will need to come with a lunch and snacks. Cell phones wouldn’t be needed as Friday is still considered a school day and school rules still apply. If you need to contact your child, please call the Sanford Junior High School office at 207 324 3114, and they will make contact with our group. As always, thank you for being such a supportive community to your Spartans!
