An Important Message from the SRHS PTO
Please Read On...
Our last meeting for the 2016/2017 year is happening on
Wednesday, May 17th at 6pm at the High School Library. We will be voting for a new President and Vice President. If you are interested in either position please let me know. I am hoping we have a couple of interested individuals who will want to continue making the PTO the best it can be. My biggest concern is if we don't have anyone step up and we have to look at not having a PTO any longer. This would be a huge shame. The PTO has done a lot to help the teachers and students. Here are just a few things we have done:
* Through our mini grant program we have dispersed $3,143 to teachers for science videos where the students can watch a live knee replacement or and kidney transplant, or we have helped the special education group put together a 55 gallon saltwater tank that is also a live eco system. WE have helped the class of 2017 with gift baskets they could raffle off and make more money for their class. We brought in a poetry group for the English department.
* We provide dinners for the whole staff on the evenings when there is an open house at the high school. The teachers don't have time to go home and eat or go out to eat before parents come to talk to them about their student. Our teachers do so much for our students its a small thing we can do for them.
This is just a few of the things we have done to help make Sanborn Regional High School better.

Senior Spotlight : Kade Emerson
An Article By Assistant Principal Michael Turmelle
Editor's Note: Each week, one of our staff members will highlight the accomplishments of one of our grade 12 students.
 Writing a senior spotlight for Kade Emerson is truly one of the greatest honors that I've experienced as an educator. If our greatest hope is to watch our students grow --- to become self-aware, to exhibit positive traits that influence others, to develop a strong sense of right and wrong, and to have a life plan --- then our hopes are well invested in Kade. If you asked Kade to describe himself as a ninth grader, he would say that he was, in his words, "a bit of a trouble-maker, that he didn't like to be told what to do....by anyone, and that he didn't like academics...at all!" In just a few short years, however, I can tell you that Kade is not that student any longer. Today, Kade will tell you that he has matured so much that it is almost unbelievable, that he connects with teachers in a way that he did not know was possible, that he is more likely to call out a peer for inappropriate behavior than to misbehave himself, and that he sees himself as a peacemaker and not a troublemaker. And, he would be correct on each account.
Kade's Junior English teacher, Crystal Bonin, recounts that she "loved having Kade in class last year, where he was an intelligent and insightful member of our junior English class. He can be very modest and private about his academic achievements, but there are many. He always thought deeply about content, whether it was the literature we studied in class, the choice books he read, or the writing we workshopped together. He was always willing to take risks and share deeply personal stories with our class, which made others comfortable doing the same. His contributions encouraged many productive and educational classroom conversations that just would not have happened if he weren't there. I have great hopes and dreams for Kade after high school; he has the potential to do great things!"
As a high school senior, Kade now thinks differently about education. When he was younger, going to school was something that you were made to do. Today, going to school provides opportunities for you and opens doors that you didn't know existed. Because Kade truly is a deep thinker, he's been thinking a lot lately about what the future might hold for him beyond Sanborn Regional High School. Lately, he has settled on entering an Associate's Degree program, possibly at the Manchester Community College, studying Welding Sciences. As Kade continues on his journey to become the man he wants to be, however, he'll remain open to all possibilities!

Senior Spotlight : Kayla Metivier
An Article By Guidance Counselor Dianne McCarthy
Editor's Note: Each week, one of our staff members will highlight the accomplishments of one of our grade 12 students.
 Kayla Metivier is one of our fabulous seniors who has this amazing way of managing so many things while appearing calm, happy, and content. It is a great opportunity to know someone who is so motivated, yet seems totally at ease and relaxed when she sits down and chats with someone.
Kayla's academic history is impressive from various perspectives. She has continued to challenge herself with multiple honors and AP level classes, but doesn't stop with what the obvious options are for her here at SRHS! She has chosen to take rigorous online classes to advance her math skills and to allow her to advance to Calculus her senior year, she does Extended Learning Opportunities to advance her knowledge of business and support organizations such as the yearbook, and continues to be a resource for other students and faculty to tap into for support.
When we see an academic record of someone such as Kayla it's often surprising to see that they are as equally involved in their community. Kayla's list of activities within and outside of SRHS is one that would make others exhausted, yet she is so impressive with her ability to manage it all with such joy and genuine happiness. She has been involved and on the board of our Key Club and Class Council all four years, has been our girls soccer team manager, played tennis for our school in the spring, made high honor roll or honor roll consistently and is significantly involved in swimming on our school team as well as other teams.
Kayla's passion for swimming is obvious, and while she enjoys being on various teams she truly loves sharing her experiences and knowledge with others. Because of how well she represents the sport, her junior year she was asked to be a New England Swim Athlete Representative, and was chosen to attend the USA Swimming Convention for the last two years to share her own perspectives on the sport. This has been an amazing opportunity for her that she has fully embraced.
We have no doubt that Kayla will find success after she leaves SRHS - she will be missed greatly but we know that our loss means that she is moving on to do more amazing things!

Looking For Student Speakers For Graduation Events!
A Message From Principal Brian M. Stack
 Sanborn Regional High School is looking for students to deliver speeches for three graduation-related events: Scholarship Night, Class Day, and Graduation.
Who is eligible to apply?
All students in the Class of 2017 are encouraged to apply to be a student speaker at one of these events provided the student meets the three qualifications below.
- The student must be in good academic standing and on track to graduate with their class (no failing course grades or IWS grades) throughout the senior year.
- As a role model, the student may not have any major discipline infractions during their senior year (anything Level IV or above according to the student handbook is considered a major infraction) throughout the senior year.
- Have no more than 6 unexcused* absences to school throughout the senior year. *All absences are considered unexcused unless the school has documentation for a medical issue.
What kind of speech is appropriate to submit?
Students are encouraged to submit a speech for consideration at a graduation-related event. When deciding what topic or topics to focus the speech on, students should consider the following question: What key message or messages would I want given to me as a graduate at this ceremony? Although there is no official minimum or maximum length, an ideal speech would be between 500-750 words and would take approximately 5-7 minutes to deliver.
When is the speech due?
Students should send an electronic copy of their speech to Mr. Stack at his email address: [email protected] NO LATER THAN Friday May 5, 2017
What process will be used to select the winning speeches?
After May 5, Mr. Stack will turn over all the speeches to a jury of faculty members who will review them. This committee will select the speeches that have the most appropriate theme or message as semi-finalists. This review will be done blindly (no student names will be attached to the speeches). As part of this review, semi-finalist students may be asked to deliver a live version of their speech to the committee. The committee will identify the strongest public speakers and these students will be named finalists and offered the opportunity to deliver their speech at Scholarship Night, Class Day, or Graduation.
