 WWSSC Football Chooses New Mascot
It was decided last fall by school board representatives and administration from Woonsocket, Wessington Springs, and Sanborn Central (WWSSC) to rebrand the football co-op by choosing a new mascot. This would establish the co-ops own identity instead of having the same mascot as the Sanborn Central/Woonsocket Blackhawks. This was also the best time as it’s the rotation year for new uniforms. The opportunity was given to all three schools from the WWSSC football co-op to come up with an idea for a new mascot. Each school chose a mascot and then all three mascots were voted on by 7th-12th graders from each school. The results are as follows:

Bucks- 167
Stallions- 56
Bandits- 21
The Bucks also received the most votes from each school. The WWSSC Bucks will be the official mascot of the WWSSC co-op using the same colors as in the past.

Save the Date-On Wednesday, January 22nd we will have a blood drive at Sanborn Central.

A note from Mr. Flatten

There has been added interest in a voucher program in the state of South Dakota. This program allocates state funds for tuition fees that can be used at schools other than public schools. The Sanborn Central School Board and I stand in opposition to school vouchers unless the same accountability and reporting are also required from those receiving the voucher.

Hello. My name is Dawn Byers and I am sending you this e-mail and attachment on behalf of the Deubrook Booster Club announcing our Prom Dress Resale. Our 2025 sales dates are February 1, 2, 5, & 8 and will be held at McKnight Community Hall on Main Street in White, SD. We contact schools in the area including schools who have had students either consign and/or shop with us in the past to provide information and a poster about our event. We would appreciate if you could share this information with your students and families by either posting and/or circulating this poster. The assistance that schools provide in helping us spread the word has been helpful and is appreciated very much. It helps to provide students with an opportunity to shop for and/or consign a prom dress. We are looking for dresses of ALL sizes.

Shopping will be by appointment only with 1-hour appointments available and dressing rooms to accommodate 20 shoppers during each hour time slot. We have done appointments for three years now and it has worked fabulously. There is a Signup Genius available on our Facebook page. It can be found under Deubrook Prom Dress Resale. We encourage you to follow us so that you get all information and updates.
