Thursday-February 18th (Orange Day)

Keep smiling, it looks good on you!  Today's your day to go do great things!  I appreciate you!  Today's kindness challenge is to give a complement for "Thoughtful Thursday."  Such an easy gesture that can make a person's day.  
Our "Appreciation Station" is situated in our hallway and ready for business.  It could be a kind note to a teacher, friend, bus driver, or teammate.  Tomorrow the lucky recipient will hear the kind words spoken about them from our appreciation station.

The Blackhawk girls and boys will compete with MC at MC with the bus leaving at 3:00.
4:15 Girls JV (2 quarters only)
5:00 Boys JV
6:00 MCS Homecoming Coronation
6:15 Girls’ Varsity Warm-Up
6:30 Girls’ Varsity
8:00 Boys’ Varsity
Please view the athletic guidelines MC has in place
Admittance will be a donation to the Mitchell Area Safehouse (more details in the attachment).
Games will be livestreamed with a paid subscription on the NFHS Network.

March 11th will mark the end of the 3rd quarter.  Today eligibility will be taken.

Today's kindness challenge for kindness week is "What can you do to help someone today?"  While the list can go on and on, your gesture can be as simple as being a good listener, donating clothes you never wear to charity, or being a blood donor.  How can you contribute to the good in this world?

Do you know a deserving teacher that you would like to nominated for Teacher of the Year?  The Sanborn Central TOY Award is an honor given to only one teacher within our district each year.   If you or your student(s) would like to nominate a teacher for SC District Teacher of the Year, please take a few minutes and fill out a nomination form.  You can send a hard copy of the form back to the school or send it via email to laura.licht@ k12.sd.us, connie.vermeulen@k12.sd.us or justin.siemsen@k12.sd.us.  We have many deserving teachers, and this is an excellent opportunity to recognize those who have made an impact on your students.   Nomination forms are also located in the office and will be due back by February 24th at 4 pm.
