Thank you to the Booster Club volunteers that helped spruce up the playground Wednesday night.  Your hard work is deeply appreciated!

The synopsis of last night's board meeting is in the Google Drive in the school board section.

Our Blackhawk Calendars have arrived!!!!!  They will be available at our Back to School night or in the school office.  

The Forestburg Melon Festival will be held on Saturday August 15th.  The gates open at 3pm and some of the events include:  Car Show, Bean Bag Tournament-Contact Stacy Zoss for more info, kids games and a 4 wheeler train, silent auction, 50/50 drawing and a raffle. There will be concessions available all day with a pork loin supper starting at 5pm. There will also be entertainment all day. Letcher’s Scott Morgan will start at 4pm and Weston Frank Live will begin at 8pm.  Camping spots are available, but there are not any electrical hook ups at this time. Contact Adam Alt at 770-8512 for more camping info. The Sanborn Central Cheerleaders are planning to serve root beer floats at the festival as a fundraiser for their group and as a courtesy, we will have the Ruskin Park DVD’s available for purchase at the gate.  Proceeds from the DVD sales go towards the Sanborn Central Band. Proceeds from the festival go towards street repair in Forestburg.  It is an expensive project and completion will take some time.  Please “Like” Forestburg Melon Festival on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for up to date information!  Thanks!

Don’t forget that our Back to School Night is Monday, August 17th from 5:30 to 7:00. This is a great time  to meet the staff, put your items in your locker, and enjoy the free supper!  Packets with all of the enjoyable forms will be distributed (due 8/28)!

HS Students will register for classes with their advisor, Monday, August 17th during the Back to School night.  We understand that athletic practice may interfere with registration, so feel free to come in any time after 3:00pm.  A list of advisors with your registration packets will be placed on the doors.

During the Back to School Night, Gayle will be available in the commons to accept lunch payments. Don't forget prepayment is required for your student lunches!  Breakfast is $1.85 for everyone, PK-5th is $2.45, and 6-12 will be $2.70 per meal.

REMINDER……..all 7th and 10th graders need to have physicals before the athletic season begins!!! Anyone can get a physical but we require all of the above to get a physical every 3 years.  Forms can be found at http://www.sdhsaa.com/Forms/Athletics.aspx
