SANBORN CENTRAL E-NEWS
 
They are “Thinking Pink” at Sanborn Central this week. There will be a free will change donation bucket in the office for anyone who would like to donate to the “You’ll Never Walk Alone Foundation”. Students and faculty are encouraged to show their pink pride by wearing pink throughout the week.
 
Mr. Kroeger sent copies of a packet home with Grades 5-8 band students yesterday. They include a letter about lessons and a practice sheet that needs to be signed by parents. Links to these forms can be found below, or by visiting the “Forms and Publications” page at www.sanborncentral.com and following the links to Google Drive’s Music folder.
 
 
 
The JV football team beat Miller yesterday, 20-14.
 
The Lady Blackhawks played Corsica/Stickney last night in volleyball action. Here are the stats:
 
JH: Won 3-0 (25-11, 25-22, 25-20) Leader Kills: Kyla Morgan, Kayla Olson 3; Leader Assists: Breanne Brandenburg 3; Leader Aces: Kayla Olson, Tanna Kingsbury 7.

The Senior Government Class is having a three-party race for “Governor of Sanborn Central”. The class is attempting to get the entire school involved. It is hoped that this mock campaign and election will increase interest in all students in the real upcoming Presidential election. Nick Miller is the candidate for the Freedom Party, Andrew Duffel is the candidate for the Civil Party, and Rachelle Moore is the candidate for the Liberty Party. Teachers at Sanborn Central are the interest groups and they’ve been given “money” that the candidates’ parties must try to get them to donate for their campaign to afford political ads, posters, commercial, etc.
 
Here is a link to last week’s “The Weekly Voter” that students are able to read about the candidates’ views on certain topics. Candidates can also reveal their platforms in this newsletter.
