Congratulations to Shelby Selland for being selected as a state finalist for the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award.  She was one of 10 girls selected in South Dakota.  The Wendy’s High School Heisman rewards outstanding students that not only out perform their competition in sports but strive for the highest standards of excellence in all they do.  She was awarded a bronze medal, a Heisman patch, and a gift certificate from Wendy’s.

Don’t forget to tune in to KSFY tonight for the 6:00PM news and again on the KSFY morning news on Friday, February 14 between 6:00AM and 7:00AM to see the interview with Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week – Shelby Selland!

Our highlight today is Mr. Harless who for the past two years has taught the upper grades at Upland Colony. Mr. Harless is a graduate of Plankinton High.  He started his road to adulthood by graduating from USD/Springfield (1 year before its closing) with a degree in auto mechanics.  He was a volunteer fire fighter who had the roll of fire prevention instructor with the Plankinton School District.  This volunteer roll led him to become a substitute teacher inspiring him to start college again while in his 30’s to get a teaching degree. Due to the fact that he teaches at a Hutterite Colony, he gets to experience the culture differences.  He enjoys taking students on that journey from the unknown to the known, as well as the busy atmosphere of teaching in a multi grade classroom – there is always something to do and never a dull moment.  Mr. Harless, we thank you for agreeing to be part of Sanborn Central’s education of the Upland Colony students!

We will mail MS Updates and letters to parents whose students have a failing grade as normal.  The MS Homework Club notifications and progress reports (D average) for students in grades 6-12 that are not picked up at conference time will go in the mail Friday afternoon.  MS Students with missing assignments will be given their slips prior to the “I Hate Winter” party this afternoon.

Please turn in your Coborn's receipts for the months of November, December, and January by February 13th.

Have you found that perfect prom dress?  The Glass Slipper in Mitchell may be able to help.  The Glass Slipper project gives away free prom dresses and accessories to high school students in the Mitchell and surrounding areas.  The Glass Slipper collects new and almost-new formal dresses and accessories and provides them free of charge to students who are unable to purchase their prom attire.  Student do not need to prove any financial hardship in order to get a dress.  Each student will receive individual assistance from a volunteer "personal shopper" as she shops for the dress of her dreams.  The event will be held Friday, February 28th from 4-8 pm and Saturday, March 1st from 9:00 am - Noon at the Mitchell Wesleyan Church.   https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxqWDgwTHOqeeDh1VnhaOE9WSHc/edit?usp=sharing
