Sweetser families were invited to our Saco K-12 school for an open house night. School staff hosted a fall family photo shoot in the library, they gave away free books, and held a successful bake sale to support a local women's shelter.
Huge thanks to Facilities Director Bruce Norton… for helping to cook amazing Thanksgiving meals for everyone. We had some amazing servers! Families also had the opportunity to tour our classrooms and experiential learning program.
