January 6, 2017


Friday – January 6, 2017
Blue Day
Happy Birthday Jasmine White!
January is the month of “Fairness” in our Character Counts Calendar! Play by the rules – Take Turns and Share – Be Open-Minded/Listen to Others – Don’t take Advantage of Others – Don’t Blame Others Carelessly   
The 5th grade has created our bulletin board for the month!

Girls practice at Woonsocket today.

Boys practice at Sanborn Central today.

Winterguard will have a lock in at Sanborn Central this weekend.

The school board meets Monday, January 9th at 7:00pm.

Senior, Breanne Brandenburg, has been working with the American Red Cross for her senior project.  She had Red Cross representatives visit with selected elementary classes regarding natural disasters and house fires.  They completed the pillow case project (sponsored by Disney).  Breanne wants to remind our students and patrons that if you don’t have a working smoke alarm – you should go to https://getasmokealarm.org  and check into their free program.  This can save your life!!!!

ACADEMICS
HS Students have until January 17th to switch classes for this semester.

Our next eligibility will be on January 19th.  We encourage students to turn their work in on time and staff to post grades daily.

The MS Updates for next week have been uploaded to our Google Drive.

ATHLETICS
The Lady Blackhawks travel to Redfield to participate in their Classic tomorrow.  The classic begins at noon and we play the final game of the day with Warner at 6:00.

Forms were sent home with 3rd and 4th Grade girls basketball players.  These forms need to be signed and returned (leave jersey number blank) either to the school office or Kayla Olson by Saturday, January 14th.  If the form is not returned, the player will not receive a uniform.
