Specifically, they would be happy to get the green Letcher Community Club cookbook from the 1990s, and the yellow Letcher Centennial cookbook from 1983. If you’ve got an extra that you don’t use, please contact Sherri Stekl at stekl@santel.net.
 
The new Blackhawks School Song, as approved by both school boards, is to the tune of “The Minnesota Rouser.” The new words and a link to the tune can now be found both on www.sanborncentral.com and the Sanborn Central mobile app.
 
Northern State University is waiving the application fee during the month of November. Talk to Mrs. Whitney regarding the requirements for this waiver and to get an application.
 
The Huron School Board is offering the movie "Bully" at no cost to anyone in the Huron area (including the Sanborn Central School District) on the following dates and times at the Logan Theatre in Huron: Thursday, November 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, November 4 at 12:00 noon. It is free of charge.  Parents are encouraged to watch the trailer on the website (www.thebullyproject.com) as this is an intense movie and not designed for all children.  It is rated PG13 but parents should be aware that there are some scenes that could be disturbing.  The Huron School Board has paid for these showings and wants to pack the theatre for both shows.  Sanborn Central would like to thank the Huron School Board for offering our students and parents this opportunity.
