Don’t forget that there is tutoring today!!!!
The Sanborn Central Community is sending positive thoughts to Miss Paisley King and her family.  Today they are removing that nasty tumor from her liver.  She is in surgery and you can send your well wishes on her Caring Bridge page. https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/paisleyking/journal
You got this little lady!

It’s Awards Night!!!  Congratulations to all the MS and HS Students who will be receiving academic and athletic awards tonight!  Potluck begins at 6:00pm.  May 8th   6:00pm Start – 6th/7th/10th Casserole, 8th/11th Dessert, 9th/12th grade Salad.    If you’ve never been to an Awards Night you are really missing out!  We acknowledge the best academic performance as well as extracurricular - Plus there is always great food.  SC provides eating utensils, plates, and drinks.

URGENT!!!!!!!
It’s that time of the year that all bills must be paid!  All bills, books, school property must be returned by May 10th to receive your report card or diploma.  Parent Portal accounts will be deactivated on May 9th for those with outstanding bills.   Parents – please pay your bill ahead and avoid the rush!  May has 12 days for grades PK-11 and 10 days for seniors.   If you know that your child/children will be missing any days - subtract those days. Breakfast is $1.95 for PK-12; Lunch is $2.55 for PK-5th, and $2.80 for 6-12th.  Ala Carte items are still the same price.  Please multiply out what you anticipate your child will be eating, add that to the bill you will receive any day now.   Questions about your account – contact Gayle gayle.bechen@k12.sd.us

The board meets at 4:00 today in the High School Computer Lab.  The agenda can be found at
         At this meeting, there will be a number of items discussed.  However, the board would like                             to highlight 2 main items. 

          First, the preschool program at the school is entertaining some scheduling changes with regard to attendance.  Also being discussed is the options of charging for preschool attendance.  The goal is to make a firm decision on the future of the preschool program. 

         The second item of interest is a resolution to seek an opt out in the amount of $600,000 to begin at the end of the current opt out.  The board wants to make sure all patrons are aware that seeking this opt out will NOT increase their taxes.  To accomplish this goal, the board will use capital outlay funds to offset the increase, thus not affecting taxes. 

       The board would like all interested patrons to attend this meeting and express thoughts, ideas, and concerns during the meeting on these issues.  In addition to the regularly scheduled meeting, the school board has set a special, informative meeting to provide further understanding to interested patrons, scheduled for Thursday, May 18th at 7:00 pm at the school.

Last but not least, I would say you should have big dreams, full dreams, not half dreams. You know, it's very simple. You can't put a large box in a small box. Well, you cannot put a full life in a small dream box. - ELIAS ZERHOUNI
