SANBORN CENTRAL E-NEWS
 
The Junior Class is sponsoring a Basketball Board contest for every home game at Sanborn Central this season. There will be ONLY 25 slots on the board so the first 25 people to contact Tracy Moody will be the only participants for our 8 home varsity games. Your slot will cost $20 and $25 will be given away based on the half-time score of each game. Your spot MUST be paid for before the December 17th game or it will be given to someone else. Any questions, please contact Tracy Moody at tracy.moody@k12.sd.us. Once they have 25 participants, the board will be constructed and posted so you can see your slot.
 
The Sanborn Central Spirit Club is selling SCW Blackhawk Basketball short sleeve shirts ($13/$15), long sleeve shirts ($16/$18) and hoodies ($27/$30). Orders and payment are due back at the school by Monday, December 10. The shirts cannot be printed until Saturday, December 21, so will not be available while school is still in session before Christmas Break. However, arrangements for pickup on December 23 and/or December 24 are being made (and will be announced at a later date) for those who wish to have them for Christmas gifts or during break. If you think you’ll want to pick your order up early, please indicate such on your order form. Otherwise, your order will be distributed when school resumes in January. The items are being printed by Harve’s, and are the same material and sizes as the girls’ State B tournament shirts were. Make checks payable to SC Spirit Club. Contact Tracy Moody at tracy.moody@k12.sd.us for questions. Click the link below for the order form.
 
SCW Blackhawks Gear Order Form:
 
From Mr. Gross: With Sanborn Central FFA fruit, meat, cheese, butter braids, and popcorn being delivered, I wanted to remind everyone that I have the original order forms. If you happen to lose a form please let me know and I'll get you another copy. Also, we did our best to check the fruit and make sure that it was all good but occasionally bad fruit will get through. If you happen to get some bad fruit in your order, please let us know and we will take care of it. Thank you everyone for your great support with this fundraiser.
