Happy Birthday to Carver Lindsey.

Early Dismissal tomorrow at 1:30PM. We resume school on Tuesday, January 3^rd.

The 6^th Grade Class will be performing a Talent Show Tuesday, December 20^th at 9:30 at Prairie View.

This year our school participated in the Q107.3 quiz bowl competition. We were sponsored locally by Hegg Insurance. This year’s team consisted of Tristan Ziebart, Nathan Linke, Taylor Burkel, and alternates Wyatt Feistener, and Riley Schmiedt.  After losing our first round match, the team continued on in the double elimination competition to make it to the final round which will be held live on stage at the Pepsi Cola theatre on January 14th. 

Student camps are opportunities for students (7/9th -12th) to explore career opportunities which they are interested in. I often receive this information in my office and hang the poster in the hall; however, very little interest is generated. There are several camp opportunities from agriculture to cyber camp to police academy to scrubs camp. I have created a folder in the (Woonsocket/Sanborn Central) google drive where I will house this information and will inform you of new opportunities as they arise in the announcements! This weeks opportunity is SD Troop Academy learning about state troopers. 

Thanks! 

Payments made on lunch accounts since Dec. 6th will be posted after Christmas break as Luci has been out of the office.  If you receive a low balance notification and have sent a recent payment, please disregard the notice.  Thank you

Dual Credit applications are now being accepted for the spring semester. There are applications in Mrs.  Johnson's office. We need to have all applications sent in prior to Christmas vacation.

School will dismiss on Wednesday at 1:30PM and resumes Tuesday, January 3rd.

Winterguard

MONDAY, JANUARY 9TH AT SC 5:45.

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
