Second round matches the W.S. staff against the FFA alumni.  The winner of each round will then face off in a championship game.  The community is welcomed and encouraged to attend and cheer on their team. Advance tickets are $6, tickets at the door are $8, and pre-schoolers get in free.  All proceeds will be donated to the food pantry.  FFA Members, please talk to Mr. Gross if you are interested in being on our FFA Donkey Basketball team.  You must be older than 16 and weigh less than 225 lbs.

The Sanborn Central fruit delivery will be Dec. 8th at 7:30 a.m.  It is a Blue Day.  Fortunately, I have prep 1st block at Woonsocket so it should work good. 

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISING 
To honor Tanna’s incredible spirit and “never give up” attitude, Boyd & Dody Hopkins and family have generously offered to match any monies raised up to $50,000 toward a scholarship in memory of Tanna. The monies raised will be placed in a perpetual fund within the South Dakota Community Foundation in Pierre and the interest earned on this fund will be distributed every year to Sanborn Central’s graduating seniors.

We are more than half way to the goal!!

I am conducting a Pampered Chef fundraiser for this great cause that honors Tanna!!

If there are less than $600 in sales before tax, Pampered Chef will donate 10% to the scholarship foundation. If there is $600 or more in orders, 15% of the sales will be donated. Now is a great time to do some holiday shopping!!

There will be catalogs and order forms in the school office. You can also check out the face book event at https://www.facebook.com/events/1643957459219330/

Feel free to browse on line, but all orders need to be placed through Jo Oberg or the school to go through the fund raiser.    https://www.pamperedchef.com/
We have uploaded an order form to our Google Drive in the Community folder

Please turn in orders to the school or you can send a message to me with your order. If you need my email or phone number, contact me through messenger and I will try to get back to you as quickly as possible. 

Together, we can make a great impact for future scholarships for Sanborn Central graduates!!!
