Next week (December 19 & 20th) high school students will be semester testing!  Students with failing grades (from the eligibility pulled on December 15th) or missing assignments will need to be here all day both days.  Those of you not on this list will only need to be here for the classes you are being tested in or if the teacher tells you your presence is required.  We ask that students sign in and out as you come and go.

Wednesday, December 21st high school students are not required to attend.

ATHLETICS
The Blackhawk Boys team kicked off the 2016-17 season with a 91-34 win over SBA on Saturday.  Helping out were:  Trey—16 pts, 1 reb, 6 asst, 4 st   Trent—9 pts, 5 reb, 6 asst, 6 st   Logun—12 pts,5 reb, 1 ast  Shaun—7 pts,8 reb,1 ast, 1 st, 1 blk  Wyatt—16 pts, 3 reb, 1 blk   Spens- 2 pts, 1 blk   Garrett—2 reb, 2 ast, 1 st  Jared—2 pts,4 reb   Koby—5 pts   Noah—14 pts, 11 reb, 1 ast, 2 st   Tater—8 pts, 1 reb. 2 ast, 2 st.  We were 33/72 FG for 45 % and 18/25 FT for 72%.  We outrebounded them 43-13 with 28 offensive rebounds.  Coach Olson’s comments:   For the first game of the year with a lot of new faces I was very pleased.  SBA is a young team but I thought we did the things that we are trying to build on the right way.  I feel we will be a good shooting team that shares the ball extremely well this year (18 assists).  We will just try to keep improving every game and practice to give us a shot at the end of the season.

HELP WANTED……. We have a fantastic Winterguard Organization which practices several times a week.  These young ladies put many hours of hard work into this program, unfortunately our competitions are all in Minneapolis.  We are estimating the expense per participant (travel, costume, drill, equipment, circuit membership fee) at about $500 per student.   The members plan on doing some fund raising, but past experience has proven that we will fall short.  We have some students who have been attending practices faithfully, but realize financially they won’t be able to afford it.  At this time we are hoping to find sponsors – not to just hand money over, but to provide these members with jobs to earn their way.   If you are willing to help us out – please contact Mr. Kroeger at brett.kroeger@k12.sd.us

Community

The Artesian Area WWTS Christmas program will be Wednesday, Dec. 14th at 6:30 pm at Artesian First Lutheran Church.  The program titled “Too-oo-oo-oo Busy” will find the group searching for the true meaning of Christmas.  There will also a birthday celebration honoring Jesus birthday.  Lunch and fellowship will follow the program.  Everyone is welcome to attend.

The deadline for form submittal is December 14th to Mary.  First National Bank in Woonsocket has the tree with the “Wish Cards” for you to pick up.  Donations can be taken to First National Bank, in Woonsocket, and given to a teller there or bring to Mary at Sanborn Central.
