Sanborn Participates in NH Tackles Hunger
Our students this past week participated in the NH Tackles Hunger Food Drive Sponsored by Hannafords and WMUR this past week. The school wide food drive collected food from students dropped of at the school and during the homecoming games. The highlight of the drive was having students from the Class of 2019 taking time out of their day to do a little food shopping with the help of a gift card sponsored by Hannafords. Each senior represented one of our fall sports here at Sanborn and were selected by the athletic department. Shane Marama went with them and capture them in action at the supermarket and you can see his video on our Modern Media Youtube channel. In total, the Sanborn Tackles Hunger Food Drive collected 512 pounds of food and donated them to our local food pantry, Holy Angels in Plaistow, NH. Food Donations can still be brought to the pantry as they are always looking for contributions. 
Senior Spotlight: Elizabeth Davis
Note: Each week, we will feature 1-2 seniors with a spotlight article, written by a staff member.
This article was written by teacher Meghan Petruzzi
Liz may not be the tallest student but her smile is larger than life, and one of the first things you will notice. Liz is very passionate about her schoolwork and can focus to get her work done. She is often the group member redirecting her peers to stay on task. 

Liz would like to pursue a career as a nurse and is specifically considering being a NICU nurse. As a junior, Liz attended Seacoast School of Technology (SST) to explore the available health fields and to expand her health science knowledge base. She did not return to SST this year, because the internships available did not align with her career goals. Liz realizes that as a nurse she still wants to be involved with kids, so either a neonatal nurse or a pediatric nurse would be a good fit and possibly within a hospital setting because of the faster paced nature. She has had some experience working with the elderly through SST’s partnership with a local nursing home. Liz did see the value in the experience and in the projects they did with the elderly but she feels it is not her ideal niche. Liz has a compassionate heart that can be seen with her interactions with those around her, and this will suit her well in her career ambitions.

Outside of school, Elizabeth has kept busy with sports when she was younger, field hockey and volleyball, but now spends her time working. Elizabeth has worked as a hostess at a well established restaurant. Her cheery and personable disposition is very welcoming. Elizabeth warms any environment that she is in and makes it pleasant for all those around her.  
 
College Bound: I Applied Day Returns to Sanborn
Senior Day of Caring Update
On October 10. 2018, the seniors of Sanborn Regional High School spent the day at Austin 17 House engaged in a variety of community service activities to benefit the local community. Throughout the day, the students discovered new talents and cultivated new skills. They developed empathy and compassion towards helping others. They made a difference, a BIG difference. 

Here are some of the many activities students engaged in:

Students baked and delivered 50 treats for local first responders. They made 11 teddy bears for emergency responders to give to kids in need. They painted a mural for Austin 17 House. They made thank you cards for veterans. They made 231 love lunches for a local homeless shelter/ soup kitchen. They assembled 4 new bikes for foster children. They learned how to tap into their creative skills to develop media messages to promote positive change. They practiced yoga. They learned about a career as a first responder from someone in the field. They worked to expand the school’s prom dress Becca’s Closet program and added 22 dresses to the collection. They baked 50 dog treats for a local animal shelter. They made 6 fleece blankets for foster children. They built a beach volleyball court at Austin 17 House. They engaged in service activities at D.J. Bakie and Ellis Elementary Schools. They built raised beds at Austin 17 House. They refined their college essay and resume/cover letter writing skills. They made Christmas stockings for a local nursing home.

As a culminating activity, all students hand-painted a kindness rock and hid it at one of Sanborn’s three elementary schools to help remind future generations of Sanborn students to find their path, give back, and make good choices. 

A special thank you to the following organizations and businesses who made today possible:

  • The Austin 17 House staff
  • Charlotte Scott from the Southern Rockingham Coalition for Youth
  • Allie Burke Photography
  • Landscapers Depot in Kingston for donating the materials for the kindness rocks project.
  • Community member and retired Sanborn teacher Holly Price for leading the sewing projects
  • Community member and retired police officer John Little for acting as a career speaker
  • Lindsey Messina, Licensed Freelance Esthetician
  • All of the Kingston, Newton, and Fremont community residents who donated materials and supplies for our projects today.

By the end of the day, Sanborn’s students logged a total of 800 hours of community service and left with full hearts and an inspiration to continue to look for ways to make a difference today, tomorrow, and for the rest of their lives.
Ms. Krumm's Technology Museum
Ms. Krumm’s Technology in the 21st Century (Tech 21), was greeted with a strange sight at the beginning of this school year. Over the last 6 months Ms Krumm has been collecting what is considered “old” technology from the area. The reason for this was to give the students a chance to see and touch, even make work, things they may not have heard of before. Some examples are: 8 track tapes, an old movie projector (no sound), a slide projector, an old pay phone, floppy disks of assorted sizes (3.5”-8.5”), and old manual typewriter, old phones (cell and regular phones), a 1st generation kindle, a 1st generation iPod Shuffle, and many more.

The Tech 21 class, created display cases by topic around the building that included a written explanation for each artifact, that included: what is was, what was the purpose of it, when it was invented, when it was released to the public, how much it cost at release, and what that cost would translate into today’s money given inflammation.

Students truly enjoyed this activity and Ms. Krumm will be looking to expand what we have in our museum for next year. If you have any old technology that you would like to donate please contact her at ckrumm@sau17.net
