Graduation Ceremony Will Be Friday, June 16
An Important Message From Principal Brian M. Stack
 To: Graduating Seniors
From: Brian M Stack, Principal
It is hard to believe your time at Sanborn is almost over! This is an exciting time of year with many events and activities culminating with graduation set for Friday, June 16, 2017. Congratulations to all seniors on your many accomplishments.
If weather permits, we will hold graduation on the library lawn. In the event of poor weather, we may have to hold graduation in the gymnasium. If this is the case all attendees will need a ticket to enter the gym. The week of graduation you will receive six (6) admission tickets for the gymnasium ceremony. That same week, we will also hold a lottery to distribute any extra tickets that we can to families that need more than 6 tickets. Due to fire code regulations, we may not be able to accommodate all requests for additional tickets. You are encouraged to ask your classmates if they have extra tickets they could give you if you need more than six.
The following is a list of senior activities for the remainder of the school year. Seniors who are on the "probationary" graduation list are not permitted to participate in senior activities and should speak to their counselor to find out what they need to do to be removed from probation. Please note the mandatory activities and graduation practices on June 15 and 16.

 The Société Honoraire de Français inducted three new members for the year this past month. Samantha Foley, Eliza Johnson, and Max Hayden have not only proven their mastery of the French language, but they have also shown their overall academic excellence by meeting the SHF's strict requirements.

Senior Spotlight : Jared Lesiczka
An Article by Shop Teacher Jack Kelly
 Reliable, integrity, competent, mechanically inclined, friendly, loves cars, smart, well adjusted, quiet, oil in his veins, capable, funny, dependable: These are all words and phrases that come to mind when I think of Jared Lesiczka. Jared is taking 3 classes in the CTE area this year and we are going to miss him when he graduates. He is the student we rely on for a difficult repair, or when something has to be fabricated to precise dimensions. Jared models appropriate behavior for the younger kids (without even knowing he is doing it, which is the best part!). He is also willing to help other students through projects.
Jared is close to his family and can be found on vacation exploring the mountains of Colorado and Arizona.
Jared is comfortable with both computers and mechanics: Think Tej Parker in the Fast and Furious series. Jared has the skill set to succeed in college, and I wouldn't be surprised if college is in his future someday. But right now he plans to start life after High School as a Technician Intern at a BMW dealership, which is a great fit for him.
Jared has been a bright light for the class of 2017 and I am confident he will continue to grow and succeed in the future.
I wish you clear roads and safe driving.

Senior Spotlight : Marcel Rak
An Article By Social Studies Teacher Michelle Wheeler
Editor's Note: Each week, one of our staff members will highlight the accomplishments of one of our grade 12 students.
 Happy- go-lucky is the best way to describe Marcel Rak. He is usually smiling, and if he's not, it doesn't take much to "turn his frown upside down," as my Grammy used to say. Marcel is a conscientious person, he takes others' experiences and opinions into consideration in both formal and informal settings. In the classroom he lightens the mood and is easy to work with. In the hall he makes small talk with students and teachers. Occasionally, he'll pop into a former teacher's classroom to bring them up-to-date on his academics and see how they are doing. Simply put, Marcel Rak is a nice person.
Social Studies Teacher John Welch explains Marcel as a student in his Geography class:
"He is a very interactive participant in the class, who is well prepared for each class, and a conscientious student. Furthermore, he has demonstrated himself to be a very independent and self-motivated individual. It has been a pleasure having Marcel in my class this year."
School Counselor Laura Pouliot states that, "Marcel Rak is a young man I sincerely wish I had more time to get to know. Walking through Sanborn's hallways, I often see Marcel palling around with his buddies, seemingly floating through life without a care in the world. Marcel is a complex young man that possesses a compelling personal history and respectable moral compass not readily apparent to most people. Marcel does present as a somewhat laid-back and mellow guy, but underneath there is a much deeper and wiser side to Marcel. He is a caring, capable and ambitious young man destined to make his mark in the world."
If everyone treated each other the way Marcel treats people the world would be a better place.

Senior Spotlight : Michael Bothelo
An Article By English Teacher Michael Corkery
Editor's Note: Each week, one of our staff members will highlight the accomplishments of one of our grade 12 students.
 Mike "Mikey" Bothelo. A silent giant in my mind. Mike has been in my English class for two years now, and it is the classic plight of the teacher that he will inevitably move on and no longer grace my class with his deep thoughts and polite delivery. Mike's a guy you gotta root for. He politely smiles in class, but his work demonstrates he is getting it and then some. He's the guy you really like being around, and then he turns something in, and you realize the depth that he has been working with the whole time.
Perhaps Mike's best quality is his ability to rise above his environment. I have watched Mike be well-liked in class, while maintaining his quality of work. This is not easy to do. People talk to him, and often, but the job always gets done. If it doesn't, he's proactive to make sure it does. The best part: you didn't even notice. He's there for help, and you never have to ask twice. He does what needs to be done, and in that, I see a certain passion. There's no greater pride for any educator than to know that your student is going to be "okay." I've never had to lose sleep over Mike. I know he can adapt and rise to any occasion. I know he can make the personal connection. I know he won't talk so much that someone could get sick of him, something I cannot say for myself. America has been in a tailspin of narcissism, and despite it, Mike Bothelo exists: considerate, analytical, a pleasure to know. He will be missed, but more so, he is wished the best from Sanborn's staff.

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:

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!!
