The Sanford Middle School Gardening Team knows what it means to be a Spartan.

This group, consisting of Diana Allen, Keisha Anderson, Laura Kirton, Angie Labbe, Rebecca McCann, Bree Kumka, and Jen Pinette, devoted their own time to make sure the SMS school entrances, gardens, and signs looked immaculate and pristine for the start of the school year.
