SANBORN CENTRAL E-NEWS
Thank you to the Town ‘n Kountry 4-H group for the
donation of a football and soccer ball for the elementary students to use at
recess. The balls are green and white with the 4-H emblem on them.
Today students are wearing green in support of National
4-H Week. The theme this year is “Revolution of Responsibility”. What is the 4-H Revolution of Responsibility? It’s
a movement for positive change in every community in America. 4-H youth are a
living breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing,
breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a
measurable difference right where they live. That takes uncommon
commitment. We are very proud of our
local 4-H groups and what they give to our communities.
Town ‘n Kountry reps will be visiting Pre-K through 5th
grade at 12:15 in Robin Moody's room today to encourage 4-H activities and
opportunities. A treat will also be provided at this time. A big “Go Green for 4-H” bowl full of green
tootsies will be sitting in Mary's office throughout the day for MS and HS
students. Also, a bowl of green mints
will be in the teacher's workroom for the staff to enjoy.
As a fundraiser for “Dig Pink Night,” staff is encouraged
to wear jeans for $1 a day or sweats for $5 a day all of next week.
The people organizing the Dig Pink Night have released a
list of activities that will be going on next week. You can view it here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxqWDgwTHOqeNHlHd2UwT016Mkk
