Mrs. Danek, another 10 year teacher, is Sanborn Central’s highlighted person today. Mrs. Danek graduated from Sioux Falls Lincoln and the University of Sioux Falls (when it was still Sioux Falls College). Today she teaches Language Arts in our high school. She has actually been teaching for many years - from the time she was a little girl and could arrange her dolls to be her students so she could “teach” them. Mrs. Danek has an extensive cookbook collection as well as owning every book written by JD Robb. She has made the adjustment from being a “Big City Girl” to small town life quite well as her favorite means of transportation is the golf cart when the weather cooperates. Each and every day Mrs. Danek looks forward to seeing the “light bulb” of understanding appearing on a student’s face! Mrs. Danek – thank you for being a member of our Rebel Family!
There will be a pep rally on Thursday, February 27th, for the Girls District Final game at 2:45PM-3:00PM in the Woonsocket Gym. Players, coaches, and cheerleaders will leave at 2:30 from here. Mr. Kroeger and Ms. Wenzel will also be leaving early. Any others attending must have parent permission.

History was a trash bag of random coincidences torn open in a wind. Surely, Watt with his steam engine, Faraday with his electric motor, and Edison with his incandescent light bulb did not have it as their goal to contribute to a fuel shortage some day that would place their countries at the mercy of Arab oil. ~Joseph Heller, Good as Gold
