Breaking Athletic Info!!!!!!!!!
                                            Workout Sports Academy Information -
We are looking into something new this summer for our athletes if there is interest.  We are trying to line up a workout program for all of the  SC/Woony athletes.  Below lists a sample program that could be offered to next year's 7-12 graders.  The sports academy is a group of athletic trainers and they setup a strength & conditioning program that will help the kids become better all-around athletes.  Knowing that everyone has a  busy summer schedule and after discussion with Tony (Trainer), we are trying to plan on combining our local open gym/workouts with the sports academy so that the kids aren't busy every night with sports.  Below is a sample of the summer schedule with the sports training. It runs from 6-8PM:
Sunday- football and volleyball position drills
Monday- upper body lifting/Fb- upper body/agility-VB
Tuesday-lower body lifting/agility with basketball open gym)
Thursday-agility/speed
Cost- $100 and the program will run through June and July.  Everyone has busy summer schedules so it is understandable if athletes can't attend every night a workout is scheduled.
There are still items of discussion as whether we will be switching from school to school each week, etc.  First, we need to know how many athletes are interested so we can secure our spot with the sports academy.  Please let Mr. Weber or Mr. McCain know by Wednesday, May 6 if you are interested.

History buffs - you really need to see this!!!!
"The Incredible Story of Ruskin Park"
  Brett Selland spent nearly 3 years researching Ruskin Park and its history.  His research, which includes stories galore, pictures, articles, interviews and more, was compiled into a nearly 4 hour video account of the park.  The park, as you may know, was famous for the many bands that played there.  In keeping with the spirit of the park, Brett has offered his work up as a fundraiser for our SCW band programs.  He is donating the video sets (2DVD's) to the SCW band program for sale with ALL proceeds from the sales going directly into the band funds of our two schools.
  The sets of 2 DVD's full of history will be on sale for $25.00/set at the concerts in both Sanborn Central and Woonsocket on May 4th and 5th. After those two nights, the sets may be purchased by contacting any Sanborn Central/Woonsocket band member.  We do have some available in SC’s office.  You may also contact Brett Kroeger at Brett.Kroeger@k12.sd.us  or Brett Selland at 248-2364 or castaway@santel.net   Again, ALL proceeds will go to our band programs. Thanks much for supporting this effort!
