WINTERGUARD…THE
WINTERGUARD SCHEDULE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED….THERE WILL BE NO PRACTICE ON DECEMBER
11TH, PRACTICE HAS BEEN SET FOR 5:45 ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 12TH IN
WOONSOCKET (TENTATIVE); AND MONDAY, JANUARY 9TH AT SC 5:45.
On Tuesday,
December 13th there will be no vocal in the afternoon as Mrs. Easton will be preparing
for the Woonsocket Christmas Concert.
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.

honoring Jesus birthday. Lunch and fellowship will follow the
program. Everyone is welcome to attend.
The Woonsocket
Community Club has again invited us to participate in their Christmas Caring
Tree project. If you know of a family who may be in need of a little
extra help this year, please let Mary Ackman know by calling the school
(495-4183) or e-mailing her at mary.ackman@k12.sd.us . 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.
Mark your
calendar for Wednesday, December 7th – the next Sanborn County Food Give Away!!!!
Begins at 5:00pm at the Woonsocket Community Center and will go as long as
