Friday, February 2nd 2024-Blue Day

It's groundhog day, and that little rodent made his prediction and gave us all hope. If you can believe a plump little woodchuck, your doing an Irish jig in your office chair today! Spring is right around the corner and that sun is going to cast it's sweet rays upon us! Phill did not see his shadow today, so technically spring is on the way for all you folks with a half full glass:)

Blackhawk Pride shines bright at Sanborn Central!
We are blessed with the best and today our boasting proves accurate. Our student body rallied together in support of our long time bus driver/supervisor, friend, and colleague Gary Goudy and his family. Accumulatively, they have collected $2,020.40 for the penny war total. But this is not all-outside donations have added to this number to raise it to $3,212.44! 

We are not done quite yet...our students have showed their enthusiasm for the cause, and they are asking you as a community to match 10% ($202.04) or just add a monetary donation of your choosing.
If you would like to see our number keep climbing contact megan.wilson@k12.sd.us david.steele@k12.sd.us or send your contribution to 40405 SD Hwy 34 Forestburg, SD 57314
On Friday, February 9th we will be here to close the curtain, and bring you the grand finale number!
