Flower fundraiser celebrates fall: The fall mum fundraiser at St. Thomas School is underway. Various colors and sizes are available. Forms and money are due no later than Sept. 19 with pick-up at the St. Thomas School parking lot on Sept. 20 from 3 pm to 6 pm. Print the order form here or pick one up at the school. St. Thomas School receives 100 percent of the proceeds from this fundraiser.

Bus routes for the new school year are available: The 2024-2025 bus routes for the Sanford School Department are now available on Versatrans (login required). Emails were sent to parents/guardians on Aug. 21 with transportation information and Student ID numbers. Anyone who did not receive an email should contact your child’s school to verify your email address and obtain your child’s Student ID number. Due to a bus driver shortage, some bus routes have been combined to begin the school year, resulting in longer ride times for some students. Anyone interested in becoming a driver or monitor should contact Ledgemere, the transportation provider, at 207-324-4888. Call your child’s school directly with questions.
