Pampered Chef Deadline Approaching
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!!!

SHOOTING SPORTS
We will begin the 2016 4-H Shooting Sports season with a sign-up/safety night on Monday, December 7th.  We will complete sign-up/registration, get information out, questions answered, and safety training done for the majority of the shooters prior to us starting our regular practices.   

All disciplines and all ages have to complete the safety training.  Seniors and older junior members will be asked to assist with beginners during the safety training.  Juniors and seniors will also have the opportunity to take the safety test that day if they feel they are ready.  Beginners should probably wait a little longer to be better prepared for the test, but will also have the option to take it if they feel they are ready.   

At least one parent should plan to attend with the shooters.  We will talking about the schedule, explaining how the Match Shoots and state qualification works, discussing County Shoot placing determination, and options for 22 Rifle & Pistol for junior & senior members. 

Shooting Sports practice will begin on Sunday, January 3rd at 2 pm and regular practice will run 2-6 each Sunday.  You are not required to be at every practice…pick the days that work for you, and also pick the time that works for you…that may be 2-6 or 2-4 or 3-5 or 4-6. 

Special note – we will offer seniors and older junior members (which sometimes may include a younger family member) the option to come an hour earlier than the regular shooting time to allow them to get some shooting done ahead of the busyness that comes with beginners, younger junior shooters, and new shooters.  If you receive a text alerting you of the earlier time, you may come an hour early; otherwise, please come at the regular start time or later.  

Plan for Monday, Dec 7th is as follows:
6:30-7:00 Complete enrollment paperwork and 4-H online registration
6:30-7:00 Supper available!!
7:00-8:00 Safety training and information

I have attached the registration forms so these can be completed and ready when you get there.  Cost for registration is $15 per shooter.  Checks can be made out to Sanborn County Shooting Sports. 

Note…we want to have as many shooters as possible at the Dec 7th session – but if you can’t make it, just let me know wand we will schedule the safety training at one of the Sunday sessions. 

If you know of someone new interested in 4-H Shooting Sports, please pass on the information.
