Have you donated your old Cancer related shirts to T-Hugs yet?  Yesterday, I was told that these shirts are getting used for so many good causes, it’s just warms my heart.  Our quilting friends are cutting the cancer related logos to use in our throws, the remaining T-shirt material is being recycled into diapers, girls dresses, shorts,  or whatever they can be made into and being shipped to missions in Africa!  So please think twice and get those T-shirts turned in!!!!

5th grade parents: Currently students are learning about the most common played instruments in beginner band. After the students are done trying out all the instruments (which will be next week), I will be sending home a form that will let you know what instrument your student is best suited for.
On September 8th, there will be an instrumental showcase in the Sanborn Central music room from 6:00-8:00 pm. Stop in to purchase or rent-to-own an instrument. I will also be there to answer any questions you may have. After you stop in, stay to support our Blackhawks volleyball team as they take on Freeman!!

Crystalyx Cards are in.  Be looking for an FFA member to get yours!  The $20 purchase of a Crystalyx Card saves the producer $40 on one ton of Crystalyx.  Net saving to the producer is $20 per ton.  This has a great fundraiser for our FFA Chapter bringing in near $3000 last year. The SC/W FFA would like to thank the Forestburg Farmer’s Elevator, Wessington Springs Farm and Home Center, and Stan’s of Alpena for their support of the FFA through this program.  Contact Mr. Gross at shane.gross@k12.sd.us or by phone at the school if you have any questions.
