Wednesday– December 18, 2019
Blue Day
Webster can not begin to define the definition of secretary when we speak of our very own Mary Ackman.  She has mended your wounds mentally or physically.  Reminded you of being late and needed to sign in, or called your parents when you were having an off week and landed on the F list.  We will miss hearing the echoes of the word “WALK” throughout our hallways, and I will never forget the daily memo of the word “shuttle’s here” at the Letcher building.  Thanks for coining the term “Blackhawk Fever” and I’m not talking the influenza type;)  You have worked with generations of families within our school system and I speak for all of the school and community when I say you will be missed greatly.

Community
The Woonsocket baseball program will be doing a free will baked potato feed with all the fixings on Thursday Dec. 19th at the double header basketball games where SC/W will host Corsica/Stickney in Woonsocket. The Woonsocket National Honor Society and student council will also be doing a free will bake sale of Christmas goodies. ALL proceeds from these feeds will be presented to the Chad Wentland family to help defray their medical cost in Chad's fight against cancer at halftime of the varsity boys game. Chad has neuroendocrine cancer.  3 years ago he was first diagnosed when they found a tumor on his pancreas. He had 1/3 of his pancreas and his spleen removed then. This last October he went back for his regular 6 month checkup. The CT scan was abnormal. After all the testing, it was found that new tumors had moved to his liver and 3 different bones.  Chad is an active board member of the I 90 baseball association that the Artesian-Letcher and Woonsocket baseball teams are a part of during the summer.  Chad has also been a coach of the Pony Hills Thunder baseball teams that several area kids have been a part of over the years.
