It has been announced by the National FFA Organization that,
at this year’s national convention, SC/W FFA members Jarid Bechen and Ty
Swenson will receive their American FFA Degree. The American FFA Degree
is awarded to members who have demonstrated the highest level of commitment to
FFA and made significant accomplishments in their supervised agricultural
experiences (SAEs). Each year, less than 1% of FFA members receive this
degree, making it one of the organization’s highest honors. Jarid and Ty will
be the 8th and 9th members from Sanborn County to have
ever received this award. We are
Blackhawk Proud!!!!!!
Congratulations
Mr. Gross – Blackhawk Proud again!!!! As
a means of encouraging young teachers to remain in the profession and to
encourage and recognize participation in professional activities, National
Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) presents the Teachers Turn the Key
Award. The Teachers Turn the Key award includes a year-long professional
development program which focuses on providing early-career ag teachers with
the tools and support they need to grow and flourish in the profession.
Participants are challenged to improve their teaching and classroom management,
develop time management skills, and immerse themselves in professional
development activities that will support their professional goals. At
this year’s South Dakota Association of Agricultural Educators (SDAAE) summer
conference, Mr. Gross was awarded the Teachers Turn the Key Award. As a
part of this award, Mr. Gross will represent South Dakota at the National
Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) national conference in Las Vegas,
Nevada. During the conference, he will participate in special programming and
professional development specific to this award area.
The Middle School and HS School
Schedules have been uploaded to our Google Drive under the Forms &
Publications Tab – Calendars & Schedules Folder. Letters to MS/HS
Students were mailed earlier this week.
There were
some discrepancies with the High School Schedule that was mailed out. The new and revised schedule can be found on
our Google Drive and available in the office.
Bussing
Here
comes the school bus!!!!! Once again Sanborn Central will do our
best to ensure that our students get to the right place after school. We
rely on parental communication to make this happen.
If your child/children are not being dropped off at the same point they were picked up in the morning PLEASE send a written note or make a call to school prior to 3:00pm. We will not honor/recognize a student coming to school saying, “Mom said I’m supposed to go to Grandma’s tonight.” or just getting on a different bus.
We do
understand that situations arise requiring last minute changes and we will do
our best to accommodate your needs.
Feel free
to contact us with any questions.
