Support The Blackhawks!! The Boys and Girls Blackhawk
Basketball Teams are asking for some “Snack” Donations to use on their bus
rides to daily practices. The snacks would be split between the two
schools to give the players a little bit of energy heading to practice.
Some popular items in the past are: rice krispy treats, cookies,
granola/energy bars, jerky, crackers, etc. There are 35 girls and 25 boys out
for basketball this year. Donations can be brought to our season-opening
games vs. SBA on Saturday Dec. 10. There will be a drop-off room
available and will be divided up after the games. Thanks for your awesome
support of these kids’ efforts! Go Blackhawks!!

MUSIC
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

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.
