Senior Spotlight : Troy Oltsch
An Article By Physics and Calculus Teacher Dr. Timothy Young
Editor's Note: Each week, one of our staff members will highlight the accomplishments of one of our grade 12 students.
 Excited, energetic, enthusiastic, eager... You've probably heard of E equals M C-squared, but Troy has that beat with all those Es! Without pulling out my thesaurus, it was easy to think of those descriptors of Troy. I've known Troy since the first day of his 9th grade year, when, I believe he came up and told me that he wanted to take Calculus so that he could become an engineer. Well, let's see... AP Calculus during senior year, check; Engineering college next year, check; Lots of math and science classes, check; Drawing chemical elements and reactions on my board during lunch, check; Discussions about black holes, check. All that I can add to this is that every math and science teacher wishes for their classes to be filled with Troys! But, it is not just those teachers whom Troy impressed. Here is what a few other teachers had to say about Troy:
Mr. Kelly (Tech Ed teacher)
Mr. Owen, Troy's first Woodshop teacher, used to call Troy a "Mad Scientist." Considering Troy's career goals are science and engineering, that's a fitting description. Troy has spent a lot of time developing our protocols on the CNC woodworking machine. This year in an unofficial ELO, he works on programming projects as well as helping other students with their projects. Troy is always willing to help and has done a great job in both roles. Good luck next year Troy, as you transition into a real scientist.
Mr. White (Health teacher)
Troy was/is a pleasure to have in my class. He always gave 100% effort and kept a positive attitude no matter what the circumstance. Troy has shared with me his interest in pursuing engineering after high school and I have no doubt that he will be successful in the field.
Mr. Smith (Science teacher)
Troy is goal oriented, motivated, open minded and enjoys school activities. He is always taking things apart and fixing things on his own. Troy does his lab work accurately, and has the ability to use the scientific process to understand how living things function. He enjoys working with people and participating in group activities to solve problems. We have discussions concerning cutting edge research being done in Biology, Chemistry and Astronomy; he also loves History. He has taken on a special project in my AP Biology class assembling and managing a hydroponic system. In my class Troy is always helping others. He has the ability to understand ideas and teach other students what he has learned.
Mr. Jacobs (Science teacher)
Troy has shown an exceptional amount of enthusiasm for Chemistry. He has an insatiable appetite for more knowledge. At the same time, he has been an incredibly helpful citizen in the class setting up and breaking down labs and conducting extension experiments to further our learning. I'm sure his passion for science will take him far.

Senior Spotlight : Tim Castle
An Article By Ann Hadwen and Kathy Giovando
Editor's Note: Each week, one of our staff members will highlight the accomplishments of one of our grade 12 students.
 Tim Castle is a student who has grown a lot in his four years at Sanborn Regional High School. Ms. Giovando describes Tim as being a huge success story for a variety of reasons, but mostly because he has come to understand his strengths and weaknesses as a learner. Tim realizes what he needs to do to be successful academically and has taken ownership of his learning.
As a senior Tim has realized his untapped leadership potential among his peer group. He regularly communicates classroom expectations to younger students who look up to him as a role model. A once quiet, almost shy student, Tim readily expresses his feelings and opinions about a variety of topics.
When Tim was a freshman he couldn't wait for high school to be over and his formal education to come to an end. However, as graduation approaches Tim will be one of the many students who have chosen to continue their education after high school. Tim will be attending the New Hampshire School of Mechanical Trades in Manchester, where he plans to learn the trade of plumbing. For someone who is as mechanically talented as Tim, this career path is a perfect fit.
What some people don't know about Tim is that he has a few well hidden talents. For instance, Tim is an exceptional artist who can draw almost anything. He likes to share this talent with friends and is always willing to help others with projects that require an artistic touch. Those who know Tim well, know that he has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh. And, although he doesn't enjoy being the center of attention, Tim is also a talented dancer and can't help busting a move when he hears his favorite jam.
Tim credits his mom as being a constant support for him and always encouraging him to do his best and follow his dreams. He also credits the teachers in Homebase for constantly nagging him to get to class on time and to get his school work done. Ms. Giovando, Joe Tardiff, Coach K., Ms. Leavitt, and Mike Withee all believe that Tim will be a huge success and they can't wait to see what he achieves in the future. Best of luck, Tim.

Cafeteria Announcing New Menu App and Technology Upgrades
A Message From Principal Brian M. Stack
Dear Students,
We have been working hard with the cafeteria to make changes to the food program. You have likely noticed many new menu items in the last few months, as well as some other menu changes.
As part of the next phase of this work, Cafe Services is launching a new App that not only provides you with menu options and nutritional information but also a way to rate food and provide the cafeteria with feedback. This is critical information that the cafe needs in order to continue to provide quality lunch options that meet student needs.
Sanborn Regional High School's new, customized menu experience is live now and ready for the school community to explore! Please download the mobile app from Google Play, the App Store or visit your personalized website at sanborn.nutrislice.com to begin exploring and enjoying the program's enhanced menu experience!
Also planned for Sanborn Regional School District's cafeteria is a comprehensive digital signage program. In the near future, students will be welcomed to the cafeteria and serving line with dynamic digital signage featuring attractive pictures of meals, nutritional information, information on upcoming promotions and school events!
If you have questions about the cafeteria program, please contact the director, Lisa Martel, at
[email protected].

Senior Spotlight : Kyle Erickson
An Article By Spanish Teacher Colin McQueen
Editor's Note: Each week, one of our staff members will highlight the accomplishments of one of our grade 12 students.
 I've had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Kyle over his four years here at Sanborn as a student, as an athlete, and as an all-around good guy. Despite having Kyle as a student in a class that falls outside of his intended future pathway, he was always an incredibly inquisitive and creative student who valued knowledge and learning. Kyle is the type of student who always brings a positive attitude to class that others can feed off of. He does not shy away from leadership either, which allows all those around him to benefit from his positive outlook on things and his ability to find silver linings, even in negative situations. Kyle is what I like to call a "solution guy." He can be described as honest and genuine, and has an ability look at situations with perspective that is beyond his years. His smile is contagious and his laughter infectious. English teacher Ms. Petraitis described Kyle as someone who "is always striving to improve himself and his work, and has a great attitude."
Kyle has been a dedicated participant in the morning weight room crew and has also been employed at Market Basket, all while maintaining his grades and the many positive relationships he has with peers and teachers here at SRHS.
Next year, Kyle will be taking his talents to Great Bay Community College where he will continue his education in the field of welding. This will add to the foundation he has built throughout his high school years as a student at the Seacoast School of Technology in their welding program. I have no doubt that he will become a valuable asset wherever he ends up after he finishes his schooling due to his passion for the craft, but also his previously mentioned positive attitude and general zest for life. After he graduates from SRHS this spring, our halls will certainly miss his glowing personality, but we wish him the best of luck in his endeavors.

Extended FLT Sessions for Grades 9-11 on June 19 and 20
A Message From Principal Brian M. Stack
Dear Parents/Guardians of Sanborn Regional High School Grade 9-11 Students,
In order to provide students with every possible opportunity to obtain full credit for all classes, we are offering a modified class schedule on the last two days of school, June 19-20. On these days, we will run 90-minute extended Focused Learning Time (FLT) periods.
FLT is typically offered as part of our regular schedule each day for 40 minutes and provides an opportunity for students to engage in personalized intervention, extension, and enrichment. During these end-of-year extended FLT periods, teachers will be available to work with students on projects for competency recovery. Students will also be able to begin the work on credit recovery courses if needed.
Please understand that attendance at these extended FLT sessions is mandatory for all students not passing a competency or who have not finished any required work in one or more of their courses. These sessions will provide students with the opportunity for teacher supported competency recovery that will not be available over the summer. If students are not able to make up the competency/credit at the end of the year, they will likely have to repeat the class next school year.
Students who are passing all of their competencies and who have completed all required work for their classes will not be required to attend these extended focused learning opportunities. Please be aware, however, that bus transportation will only be available at the end of the regular school day at 2:10PM.
Your child will be notified by their teacher(s) by Friday, June 16 at the latest if they will be required to stay for any and all of the extended FLT sessions. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's grades, please contact your child's teacher(s) at (603) 642-3341.
The schedule for the days at the end of the year will be as follows:

NH Department of Health and Human Services Urges Residents to Take Precautions Against Multiple Diseases Carried by Ticks
Concord, NH
- The ticks are already out in New Hampshire, and the NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) wants to remind people living in and visiting the State to take precautions against being bitten by ticks and potentially exposed to Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. New Hampshire has one of the highest incidence rates of Lyme in the country. According to the DHHS Division of Public Health Services (DPHS), there were an estimated 1,373 cases of Lyme disease identified in the State in 2015, the most recent year for which data are available.
Tick bites can cause other diseases besides Lyme disease. In 2015, there were also 110 cases of anaplasmosis reported, which is caused by a bacterium, and 53 cases of babesiosis, which is caused by a parasite. There have also been two cases of the Powassan virus in New Hampshire residents, the first in 2013 and second in 2016, but it is not known if these were acquired in New Hampshire. The majority of Powassan cases are seen in the Northeast and upper Midwest, which is similar to anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Lyme disease. These diseases are all transmitted by the blacklegged (or deer) tick.
"Ticks are out, and while we want to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors, we also want to encourage people to take steps to prevent themselves, family members, and pets from being bitten by ticks," said Dr. Benjamin Chan, NH State Epidemiologist. "Preventing tick bites is the best way to avoid getting sick from any number of diseases that ticks can carry."
DHHS recommends taking the following precautions to prevent tick bites:
- Avoid tick-infested areas such as overgrown grass, brush, and leaf litter
- Use an insect repellent containing DEET or oil of lemon eucalyptus every time you spend time outdoors
- Wear protective clothing (long pants and long sleeves to keep ticks off skin)
- Do daily tick checks on yourself, family members, and pets after being outdoors
- Reduce ticks around your home by keeping grass short and removing leaf litter
- Speak with your healthcare provider if you are bitten by a tick or if you notice a large bull's-eye rash anywhere on you
- To remove an imbedded tick, use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible or if none is available use your fingernails. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdoferi and is transmitted to people by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick, also known as the deer tick. The greatest risk for Lyme is between the months of May and August, when the blacklegged tick is in the juvenile stage; it's the size of a poppy seed and very difficult to detect, so individuals may be unaware that they have been bitten.
Early symptoms of Lyme disease may include fever, headache, fatigue, and often a skin rash that is round and/or looks like a bullseye. Lyme disease is treatable with antibiotics, but if left untreated can lead to severe headaches and neck pain caused by meningitis (inflammation of the protective covering surrounding the brain and spinal cord), pain and swelling in the large joints, shooting nerve pains, and abnormal heart rhythms.
Symptoms of anaplasmosis and babesiosis may include fever, headache, chills, and muscle aches; some individuals may not have symptoms. Individuals who are older or whose immune system may not function well can have severe infection with these organisms requiring hospitalization. Both anaplasmosis and babesiosis are treatable with antibiotics.
Powassan is caused by a virus transmitted through the bite of a black-legged tick, and symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, weakness, confusion, loss of coordination, speech difficulties, and seizures. Approximately half of people who become sick from Powassan have permanent neurological symptoms, such as recurrent headaches, muscle wasting, and memory problems. There is no specific treatment for Powassan.

Northern Essex Community College Offers Special Deal For SRHS!
Students Can Take NECC Classes While attending SRHS at A HUGE Discount!
Dear Students,
Mrs. Catena and I are excited to announce a collaboration between SRHS and Northern Essex Community College that would allow Sanborn students to take NECC classes at NECC for a huge discount on tuition. I have attached a flyer that has more information on this early college program. There are some open house dates at NECC to be mindful of, as well as contacts of who to reach out to at NECC for more information.
Here is a secret: You don't have to wait to graduate from high school to take a college class --- in fact, it is a better idea to start taking college classes while you are still in high school, if you can.
I would advise that you talk with your guidance counselor about which classes may be best for you. Depending on the situation, you may be able to find NECC classes that meet SRHS graduation requirements, which would allow you to be dual-enrolled!
This is an exciting partnership that I hope many of you will take advantage of.
Please see me with questions,
-Mr. Stack

Southern Rockingham Coalition for Healthy Youth
A Message From Director Charlotte Scott
THE EARLIER A PERSON START SMOKING, DRINKING OR USING OTHER DRUGS, THE GREATER THE LIKELIHOOD OF DEVELOPING ADDICTION
 When a young person uses alcohol, marijuana or other drugs as a coping method for anxiety, depression or stress, it replaces the actual processing of feelings and the emotional coping process is stunted. The brains ability to manage stress is now lowered because it has not experienced the natural passing of the feeling, and the young person hasn't found and used a healthy behavior to aid in coping with the pressure and stress. This could lead to a difficulty in processing and managing emotions into and throughout adulthood. Skipping these crucial steps to healthy development, and replacing them with artificial rewards, primes the young brain for addiction.
 Delaying age of first use of any substance GREATLY REDUCES the likelihood of becoming addicted.
- 9 out of 10 people who misuse or are addicted to nicotine, alcohol marijuana or other drugs began using these substances before they were 18.
- People who began using addictive substances before age 15 are nearly 7 times likelier to develop a substance use disorder than those who delay first use until age 21 or older
- Every year that substance use is delayed during the period of teen brain development,the risk of addiction and substance misuse decreases
 SoRock is a Federal Drug Free Communities Coalition committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing youth substance misuse in the towns of Atkinson, Danville, Fremont, Hampstead, Kingston, Newton, Plaistow & Sandown NH. Our mission is to promote, support, and sustain healthy choices for children, youth and families in our communities by actively working to reduce and prevent alcohol, marijuana, prescription and other drug misuse. There are many ways to stay up to date on what is happening in prevention in your area while also getting helpful tips for keeping youth drug free! Check out our website, join our mailing list and like us/follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We would love for you to join us! Prevention is everyone's business!!
