The South Dakota Wildlife Federation (SDWF) will be sponsoring their 50th Annual Youth Conservation Camp June 2 – 8 at Camp Bob Marshall in the Black Hills. Boys and girls in 9th, 10th and 11th grades along with students finishing the 8th grade are eligible. Busses will be running from the eastern part of the state to transport campers. The main topics of the camp will be conservation and environment issues, game management, forestry and fisheries along with fishing and shooting sports. The camp is primarily a learning camp but is also a fun camp for anyone who enjoys wildlife and the outdoors. The program includes hands on instruction in small groups as well as giving campers a choice of the subjects that interest them the most. The Sanborn County Conservation District (SCCD) will reimburse the $300 camp fee to any local students that attend, as long as they come to a board meeting after the camp and give a report. For more information, visit www.sdwf.org or contact Sherri Hanson (SCCD District Manager) at sherri.hanson@sd.nacdnet.net or 605-796-4476 Ext.3. Below is a link to more information and a registration form.
 
 
Coaches are needed for U6 and U8 soccer teams ASAP. Coaches are needed before the practice schedules can be established. Parents, you are more than welcome to coach if at all possible. Please contact Shelley Schlicht at 605-354-4231 or shelley.schlicht@k12.sd.us if you can help. It would be a shame to not have a team due to a lack of a coach.
 
There are still some State B tourney t-shirts left and they will be sold for $9.00. If interested, please contact Tracy Moody at tracy.moody@k12.sd.us.

SchoolReach is the automated messaging system used by Sanborn Central to contact parents and students with important and timely information. Some patrons have reported missing and aborted calls. 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. The second is a toll-free number you can call to hear the most recent message sent out, or all the messages in the last 30 days. 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.
 
More information on Sanborn Central’s mobile app can be found at www.sanborncentral.com.
