Sanborn Central FFA members are currently selling Crystalyx discount cards through the Earn to Learn program.  Each card saves the producer $40 on 1 ton of Crystalyx Brand Supplements.  In return, the producer pays the FFA member $20 for each card.  This money stays with our local FFA chapter to support our agricultural education program and chapter activities.  To purchase a card, speak with any Sanborn Central FFA member.  We will also be selling the cards at the Forestburg Farmers Elevator producer supper.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at shane.gross@k12.sd.us. Thank you for your support and good luck with harvest!

Mitchell Technical Institute will be hosting My Technical Interest Days again this year. Registration forms and additional information about the events can be found athttp://www.mitchelltech.edu/admissions/techprep/mytidays/ and from Mrs. Whitney or Mary.   
The following are the dates for the camps:
               ·       October 23, 2013 – Ag and Power Sports
               ·       October 30, 2013 – Construction
               ·       November 20, 2013 – Energy
               ·       November 20, 2013 – Scrubs
               ·       December 4, 2013 – Cyber
               ·       December 4, 2013 – Business
You will notice that there is not a grade level of attendance for MyTI Days. I would say that camp is geared more toward that sophomore or junior student that is in the midst of career exploration, but I wouldn't discourage a senior who is trying to figure out what to do next year or a freshman with a great deal of interest in that area to apply either. Registration is limited, so I would encourage your students to apply early.

Saturday October 5th a fund raiser will be held at the Artesian Community Center for David Grassel.  Dave was diagnosed with parasteal osteosarcoma in his right knee in December 2012. He has undergone chemo & a couple of surgeries- all proceeds from the event will go to help Dave & Melissa!   A Bean Bag Tournament will begin at 1:00 pm with a $40/registration per team.  Cash prizes will be given to the top two teams.  At 5:00 pm you can enjoy a Soup/Chili supper for a free will donation.  A gun raffle will also be held with the drawing the first weekend in November -   A Franchi Model I-12 semi automatic 12 gauge (made by Benelli) and a Remmington bolt action 270 with a Nikon 3-9 x 50 scope.  Drawing will be held the first weekend in November.  If you are planning on playing in the bean bag tournament please register your team as soon as possible... We would like to start getting this organized to figure out a bracket. Teams can still register on Saturday but please do it before 1:00 PM.   Call David Unterbrunner at 354-0030 to register your team!


There's going to be a bridal shower for Kaitlyn Donahue, Jordan Pearson’s fiancé, on Sunday (10/6) at the Artesian Community Center at 2pm.
