This is a 10 hour course that has to be completed in order to receive a card. Parents or guardians are requested to bring your child to the course on April 16 and complete an enrollment sheet at that time. This course is for anyone turning 12 by the end of the year. If the student is not 12 at the end of this course, the card will be held until the student is 12. This is a busy time of the year, but the 10 hours is a short time investment for the rest of their life for the enjoyment of the out of doors. This course is to instruct on safety, not marksmanship. Shotguns will be furnished if needed. No firearms or ammunition will be brought to the class by any student. They will be instructed as to when they may bring a firearm for inspection and usage. All classroom materials will be furnished at no cost to the student are parent. Adults are welcomed to attend to get their hunt safe card if they wish.

There are now a couple of new ways to see if you’ve missed a SchoolReach call. The first is a new SchoolReach app for your mobile device.

Both of these will only work for those on the current SchoolReach contact list. Go to the SchoolReach page at www.sanborncentral.com for instructions on both of these new items.
