May 18, 2016

I would like to thank everyone that honored me at Award's Night, graduation, and yesterday here at the school with staff and students.  Words cannot express how humble I feel to be honored by all of you.  I would like to name you all individually that helped to pull all of this off but I am afraid that I will forget someone.  Thanks for all the kind words, cards, gifts, roses, PowerPoint, banner, and most especially, the hugs!!!!  Artesian/Artesian-Letcher/Sanborn Central has been my "home" for almost half of my life so will always remain so very special to me.   Thanks to all "my" students, staff, school board members, and families both past and present for all of the memories!!!!!  It's always a great day to be a Rebel/Blackhawk!                Linda Whitney

Troy Olson mentioned it at graduation, but we would like to remind everyone that Mrs. Whitney’s days are numbered for reporting to the office!  We know that she’s looking forward to her retirement much more than we are!  Please feel free to send her a note, an e-mail, or phone her.  Her e-mail is linda.whitney@k12.sd.us  and the school’s address is 40405 SD Hwy 34, Forestburg, SD  57314

This is information for the new SDFBCA All-Star Games held in Vermillion.  Chase Von Eye, Brady Tiede, & Garrett Larson will be participating this year on the Blue Team with Blackhawk Coach, Jason Kolousek helping coach the Blue Team also.  Congratulations Blackhawks!!!!
