This year, the 8th-grade students in the SAIL-math program will be focusing on community-based projects, providing them with valuable learning opportunities. They met with Cindy Hazelton, Director of the Gorham Parks and Recreation Department, and learned about the expansion plan for Robie Park. The students have been tasked with designing and researching various play structures for the new playground, a project that will enhance their problem-solving and creative skills.
