Wednesday – March 5, 2014
Blue Day – Wacky /Crazy Sock Day

A huge Thank You to Hannah Spelbring, Koby Larson, and Jessica Schmit for reading to the elementary students for Read Across America this morning!

2:45 today enjoy some sweet treats.  Hannah Spelbring is hosting a bake sale in the commons with all proceeds going to the Sanford NICU – her senior project!

Gentlemen – what an exciting season you had!  We are so proud of your accomplishments this year and are looking forward to watching next year!

Someone left a gray and blue lunch bag in the office this morning.

Soccer forms are due back today.   https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxqWDgwTHOqeSVV5c2ZUVG9rQXM/edit?usp=sharing

Today is the last day to make your Teacher of the Year nomination.   You can find a nomination form at  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxqWDgwTHOqebTZQSmJBay1ScUU/edit?usp=sharing

Jones County High School is where today’s highlighted teacher comes from – Mrs. Farmer!  Mrs. Farmer received her Bachelors and Masters Degree from Dakota Wesleyan and is 2/3’s done with a three year Science Specialist degree from Black Hills State University. She looks forward to the students excitedly sharing what they have learned.  It is great when students are learning new information, not because they HAVE to, but because they want to know and contribute to a topic that they have great interest in.   Mrs. Farmer became a teacher because she wanted to be a part of the future – by helping students become responsible for their own learning and to help them feel confident about their own decisions.  Mrs. Farmer – we are so glad that you decided to become a teacher and have spent the last 3 years as part of our Rebel family!

There will be a pep rally on Friday in Woonsocket beginning at 2:40 for the GBB Region 3 Championship Game.  GBB players, coaches, cheerleaders and any other students that have parent permission can leave SC at 2:25 to attend. GO BLACKHAWKS!!!

Band Members: At the band meeting Monday it was decided that all SC band students (7-12) will need to bring $10 to the office by Thursday, March 6th to assist in buying the items needed for the band feed on March 10th.  W/SC Band will be serving cheesy hash browns with ham, bars, lemonade and carrot sticks from 5:30 to 7 pm on Monday, March 10th before the concert.  SC students need to bring $10 per student and Woonsocket students need to bring 1 pan of bars per family and $5 per student.  Please put the money in an envelope with your name on it and turn it in to the office.

Needed: 8 Volunteers to help with the Band Feed Monday night.  Please contact Connie Vermeulen at connie.vermeulen@k12.sd.us if you are able to help.
