HS/JH FB practice at Springs today.
Mr. Gross will be at Woonsocket School after football tonight to help junior and senior Ag students collect plants if they would like help.

Our Tutoring program is ready to kick off!  It will meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30-5:30 in the Title Room with Ms. Miller.  If you would be interested in having your child get that extra bit of help, please contact the school or Ms. Miller at jenna.miller@k12.sd.us
Mr. Kroeger would like to remind 8-12 band students that there will be a Marching Band Camp on Saturday, August 29th from 10am-5pm in Woonsocket.  Students are expected to attend.

5th grade parents: Currently students are learning about the most common played instruments in beginner band. After the students are done trying out all the instruments (which will be next week), I will be sending home a form that will let you know what instrument your student is best suited for.
On September 8th, there will be an instrumental showcase in the Sanborn Central music room from 6:00-8:00 pm. Stop in to purchase or rent-to-own an instrument. I will also be there to answer any questions you may have. After you stop in, stay to support our Blackhawks volleyball team as they take on Freeman!!  

HS Students - you have until Wednesday, September 2nd to add or drop a class.  Any questions, please contact Mr. Siemsen at justin.siemsen@k12.sd.us
Any student wanting their own parent portal should see Mary to set it up!

Crystalyx Cards are in.  Be looking for an FFA member to get yours!  The $20 purchase of a Crystalyx Card saves the producer $40 on one ton of Crystalyx.  Net saving to the producer is $20 per ton.  This has a great fundraiser for our FFA Chapter bringing in near $3000 last year. The SC/W FFA would like to thank the Forestburg Farmer’s Elevator, Wessington Springs Farm and Home Center, and Stan’s of Alpena for their support of the FFA through this program.  Contact Mr. Gross at shane.gross@k12.sd.us or by phone at the school if you have any questions.

The Woonsocket Elementary Parent Club is selling Blackhawk apparel.  Orders are due September 11.  The order form is on the Google Drive on our website in the miscellaneous folder.  You can click on the link:
