A Community Champion is a person who collaborates with a variety of partners to strengthen school, business, and non-profit relationships for the benefit of the community and our students.

Congratulations to SAMS' first Community Champion of the year, Mrs Tanner! Not only has Mrs Tanner made our school and district a better place through her years of leadership for the Penobscot Team and Math Department, but she leads the Sweet Dreams Project for our community. This project organizes local volunteers, coordinates donations, and partners with local groups to collect and distribute gift bags and pajamas for children in need across central Maine. She cannot be recognized enough for this projectโ€” it is outstanding. We have all been lucky to have the opportunity to be a part of this amazing community service.

Thank you for everything you do, Mrs Tanner!
