SANBORN REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

POINTS OF P.R.I.D.E.

A weekly newsletter that promotes our core values of

P ersonalization, R isk-Taking, I ntegrity, D iscovery, and E mpowerment

Safety of students and staff is of the utmost importance to the Sanborn Regional School District, and while tragic and highly covered by media, school violence is actually quite rare.

 

We at Sanborn are acutely aware of the heartbreaking nature of such situations and are committed to equipping our schools with the best practices to keep everyone safe. The Sanborn administrative team has recently been working with various national, state, and local law enforcement agencies to review and revise our plans to safely respond to a variety of situations that endanger the safety of our students. The way that we have trained for dangerous intruders and situations, including natural and man-made disasters, is not changing, it is evolving. The Sanborn Regional School District is implementing these best practices and has been working in collaboration with our local law enforcement partners to implement the ALICE method.

 

ALICE empowers everyone to use his or her best judgment on each unique situation. ALICE stands for Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate.

In this system, everyone is a first responder. While we do not expect a 2nd grader to confront an unknown adult, they will be taught how to inform others of what makes their school unsafe, and to get away from that threat as quickly as possible. As appropriate to his/her age, an 11th grader will be empowered to lead her classmates to safety in an active shooter situation. While school personnel will normally lead the response, we want everyone prepared to take appropriate action. 

Through our partnership with local law enforcement officials, all staff are now trained in the updated procedures incorporating the elements of the ALICE principles. Our teachers have been sharing the concepts in age appropriate ways with our students in class and have been preparing for a drill this coming Wednesday, May 29th. Individual accommodations for students can be made upon request.

 

The Sanborn Regional School District in our continued partnership with the Kingston, Fremont and Newton Police Departments has created a video that gives an overview of ALICE: https://bit.ly/2U99r1g 

We encourage you to watch this overview of the training points that were shared with students and to ask questions of your child’s administrators and law enforcement personnel. You can find more information about ALICE at this website: www.alicetraining.com 

We will continue to provide updates on our safety training as warranted. Feel free to reach out to my office or your child’s school administrator for more information.

If you were to have asked Kaiylee back in September if she was excited for senior year, like most seniors, chances are she would have told you that she could not wait to be done and get out of here. However, as the school year starts to wind down and she starts to reflect on her last 12 years of school, Kaiylee would now tell you that while she is excited for what’s next, she is sad to leave Sanborn and will miss the comfort of being part of this community. One of Kaiylee’s favorite memories of Sanborn are the pep rallies and Winter Carnival, she loved that it was an activity that everyone participated in and had fun together. At one point in high school Kaiylee had transferred to another school, but quickly found her way back “home”. Kaiylee has expressed that she is happy to be back at Sanborn where she feels teachers really care about students and have helped her grow as a person. 

English teacher Mrs. Harbel is one of those teachers. Mrs. Harbel shared this about Kaiylee: “Kaiylee Duggan has come a long way since freshman year. I am so happy to see her succeeding here at SRHS and see her find her passion and have a plan for her future. She always says hello and has a smile to share. I also always love seeing what her nails look like!” 

Kaiylee’s guidance counselor Ms. Leavitt shared “Kaiylee's ability to take whatever comes her way and manage it has always impressed me. When I first met Kaiylee she was dealing with another significant transition in her high school career and she came to the meeting with a smile and a "can do" attitude. She knows what she needs to get done and she just does it. Kaiylee's flexibility and adaptability is representative of someone much older than she is and I know these skills will serve her well in her future.”

Kaiylee has a passion and talent for all things fashion- hair, makeup, clothing, nails, etc. Because she loves it all she is not sure which direction she will go in, but she knows she would like to own her own business in the field! Kaiylee plans on going to college for a degree in business and then combining it with one of her passions. I cannot wait to see what she does with!

I met Alex Coulombe as a sophomore in my woodshop class. I knew his brother and was curious to get to know Alex. Since them I have worked with Alex in 2 other classes and in Advisory. In all that time, I have only worried about him once: when Alex and his brother bought a VW Bug with a questionable title. Everything worked out all right and since then Alex has shined. If you have never heard Alex singing Seven Rings by Ariana Grande, then you are missing a real treat.

 Alex loves cars, he is a second year SST Automotive student and is an SST National Technical Honor Society Member. At Sanborn he is a member of the top 10%.  Alex has outstanding personal character, He is close to his mother and brother and represents the good values they have taught him. I rely on him to help the younger students through obstacles in both Wood and Automotive shop.

 Alex has enlisted in the US Air Force and will be leaving for basic training a few weeks after graduation. I am proud to have worked with him. The Air Force requires strong values, selfless service and loyalty and Alex brings all those qualities with him.

The Caitlin that I know is a lovely young lady who is both quiet and diligent. In the two years that I had her in class, I never had to worry about whether or not she was going to be successful and get her work done because it was a given. In spite of Caitlin’s quiet classroom demeanor, she participated in the Drama Club during her freshman and sophomore years where I am sure her work ethic was a benefit to the group.

Teacher Jack Kelley says of Caitlin, “I have been blessed with Caitlin Hutchinson in my Advisory for 2 years. Quiet, conscientious, dependable she is one of my favorite students. She plans to study to be an Occupational Therapist and I have no doubt her good work habits will make her successful. Though as an old guy, I am not a big fan of tattoos, I like Caitlin's, which is an inspirational saying from her grandparents. About my only gripe about Caitlin is that she watched the entire Friends series, in Advisory. Really Caitlin?”

Caitlin shared that her experiences at Sanborn have helped to prepare for her future by opening her mind and letting her explore things that she wouldn't have on her own. Also, the school helped her learn how to manage her time and get everything done. Both of these lessons will come in handy after high school when she is traveling to as many places as possible and going to college to study occupational therapy.

Teacher Tim Young says, “Caitlin is in my Physics class, where she gets to apply some of the mathematics that she learned in my Algebra 2 Honors class. Physics is filled with challenging word problems, and the combination of abstract and mathematical problem solving will be very useful for her future college coursework as an occupational therapist.”

Among her favorite experiences here at Sanborn was the chance to make new friends, to see those friends every day, and Anatomy and Physiology class. Caitlin has been a great member of the Sanborn Community and will certainly be missed when she moves on to life after high school.

When we hire people at our construction company, one of the things we look for is attitude. We say “Attitude is important”. One the first things you notice about Dylan Judd is that he projects a positive attitude.

I met Dylan as a sophomore in Woodshop. I had worked closely with Dylan’s brother a few years ago so I was looking forward to meeting him. He was energetic, talented and short.  Several years later he's still energetic, still talented and no longer short.. Dylan is fun to be around, popular and likeable. He has a great sense of humor and is responsible. In his spare time, Dylan can be found listening to Trippie Redd. If there is one student at Sanborn who could pull off the Ferris Bueller routine, it’s Dylan no surprise, it’s one of his favorite movies.

Dylan has the talent and drive to be successful wherever his journey takes him. I will miss his positive energy year Oh, and I will miss his funny stories, ask him about the time he met 3 girls in line at WalMart!

I will be honest, when I write a senior spotlight, I sit alone and write about all the wonderful characteristics about that student, but when it was time to write Grace Paradis’ spotlight, I emailed her and asked her to come by so we could talk about her accomplishments and just “stuff” because when I had Grace in my classes, that was something we used to do and I missed that.

Grace graduated a semester early. She is currently doing an internship for Seacoast United in both Epping and Hampton. She is coaching a U16 and a U12 soccer team. When she is not doing that, she is working twenty hours per week as a merchandise investor for her father. She has to talk with grocery store managers, check tags, rotate stock and check to see that their product is filled. When she has “spare” time, Grace trains and attends soccer practice six days a week because she will be a starter for the St. John’s University Division I soccer team in the fall on a full scholarship. She will major in sports management and minor in business. Her preseason starts in late July and classes will start in mid August.  

Grace said that the best thing she did was graduate early and that it is not for everyone. She just knew from an early age that she had her goals and priorities set. Because of this, she said, that while she made good relationships, she sacrificed having a lot of friends, going to weekend parties, and forging deep bonds at school like most high school seniors do. She pulled all nighters studying because she was dedicated to sports and finishing high school early. She had a limited time to keep up with school; so much of her time was alone.

Grace enjoyed her teachers and the adults at Sanborn. She said her gym teachers helped her to be a good role model on and off the field. She appreciates the teachers that pushed her to be the student she is today.

Driven and dedicated are the words that Grace used to describe herself. “I don’t have to have anyone else tell me what to do to. I am my own boss and advocate”. When I think of Grace, my favorite word comes to mind. Tenacity. She is strong. She is determined. She has grit. She knows what she wants and will fight to get it. No matter what is happening around her, she sees the light at the end of the tunnel and will fight to get there. I admire that about her. A lot.

Guidance counselor, Mrs. Farrar, said, “the first time I met Grace, I knew she was full of life, determination, perseverance and focus. She has an energy about her that draws you in and immediately you enjoy her presence. Her athletic ability is at a level that allows her to go to St. John’s in the fall. “

Wellness teacher and coach, Ms. Lang said, "Grace is a very influential, hardworking and compassionate student/athlete! Athletically, Grace had one goal when she entered high school. She wanted to play soccer and receive a scholarship for a Division 1 college team. Through hard work, dedication, and countless hours of personal training, Grace will be playing for St. John's University on a full scholarship next year! When Grace puts her mind to do something, she jumps in with both feet! She is humble and her demeanor reflects this. She truly has a heart of gold! Congratulations and Best Wishes Always".

 

I wish Grace all the best at St. John’s and in life. She was worked hard for it and very much deserves all that life has to offer her.

I met Hannah last year in my Math 2 class and have gotten to know her more this year as she approaches graduation. I’ve always enjoyed having Hannah in my class. Hannah identifies herself as someone who’s never liked math, and made sure I knew this when she first started in my class. Despite these feelings, Hannah always impressed me with the insightful questions she asked, and her hard work in a subject that she didn’t love.

When Hannah wasn’t engaging with whatever was going on in my class she could usually be found doodling something in the margins. I truly appreciated receiving Hannah’s drawings when she turned them in on her school work, always making the grading process a little more enjoyable. It’s no surprise then, that Hannah is an incredibly creative young woman. The art room is one of her favorite places to spend time when she’s in the building. Art teacher Ms. Swist had this to say about Hannah: 

“Hannah floats throughout the art department multiple times a day. Her genuine personality bubbles out of her and much to my delight she frequently enters the room laughing with her friends. Hannah's sketch book is full of detailed pencil portraits, still life studies, and small sketches/notes to fuel her inspiration for future drawings. Hannah was excited to tell me that art will always be a part of her life.”

Hannah is also a member of the Sanborn girls tennis team. This year I was able to make it to one of Hannah’s tennis matches. Hannah is a great tennis player and teammate. I was lucky enough to witness Hannah and her doubles partner, Emily Metivier, stage a comeback against St. Thomas. It was an incredible match and I’m so glad I was able to see her play, and win, one of her last matches at SRHS.

After high school Hannah plans on going to Great Bay Community College to take her gen eds, hoping to transfer to a 4 year college after that. I can’t wait to see Hannah graduate at the end of the year, I know its a moment she’s excited for as well. I’ll always miss her positive presence in Sanborn’s halls, but I know she’ll go on to accomplish great things. Good luck Hannah!

Nicole Maille is a pleasure to have in our senior class this year. She is a good friend and a great addition to our classroom spaces given her thoughtfulness of others.  The enjoyment she has in working hard and being around other people is obvious to those who know her and her positive attitude is contagious. 

 

When asked about Nicole, Ms. Vitolo smiled and said “She used to bring chicken fingers from her work every Friday, thus creating Chicken Fridays in FLT/Advisory. She works full time for her dad in Dover and has been gracious enough to get her friends jobs.” We know how much one or two of those friends appreciate the opportunity she has given them! 

 

Her science teacher, Ms. Wheeler, says “Nicole is a bright student. Although sometimes hesitant in class, she is a hard worker when she sets her mind to a something. This ability to commit to a task combined with her sense of humor will serve her well when she leaves Sanborn. I know that whatever path she chooses, she will be successful. “

 

Her internship teacher Ms. Alley-Voilette states: “Hard working, goal focused and determined are characteristics I would use to describe Nicole Maille. Nicole has spent time this year as a student intern learning business management skills and strategies as she pursues a career in business/restaurant management. “

 

Her great personality has brought her tremendous success as she works as an Assistant Manager at Kendall Pond Pizza in Dover NH, where she will continue to work after she graduates and aim for the role of Manager. We cannot wait to hear about and see her success when we go visit her at work!

This guy. Am I right? Who could have predicted four years ago that a student with such a temper would turn out to be one of the most responsible, caring, independent, hardworking individuals in the senior class? 

Brandon has been a leader in the homebase classroom, as well as a leader on the football field. Mr. White, who coached Brandon for three years, says “I have had the pleasure of knowing Brandon throughout his high school experience. As Brandon’s coach and teacher, I am very proud of the person Brandon has become. Brandon has changed so much since he played basketball for me freshman year. He has grown up and has become a responsible, respectful young man.” Ms. Petraitis, who has taught Brandon for the past two years, says “Brandon’s reputation preceded him when I first heard of him Freshman year. When I met him as a Junior, he was full of jokes and, though he was a nice kid, had a hard time being serious and focusing on his work. Now in his Senior year, he can’t wait to tell me about his success at his new job and the way his daughter is growing. He comes to class, does his work (with some jokes in between), and is like a big brother to his peers. It’s been amazing to see how he has grown- I am so proud of him!” Mike from Home Base also acknowledges his growth. “Brandon has become a leader in Home Base- he does what is expected of him and isn’t afraid to support other students if needed by refocusing or helping them.”

Outside of the classroom Brandon manages to balance the nuances of being a young father to Addison while at the same time working at True From Plastics after school each day. In addition to this, Brandon comes to school each day (not always exactly on time) and completes all assignments, encourages his peers to do well, and makes the day a more pleasant experience for those around him. We will truly miss him in Home Base and wish him the best of luck after high school!

Matt would not describe himself as a school person. He's told us on several occasions that school makes him frustrated. Matt did, in fact, struggle to comprehend the material at the beginning of his time at Sanborn, but his response to this is what really struck me. Where so many others have given up, Matt never gave up. He asked questions, pushed past his frustration, and got it done. Due to all his hard work, Matt not only raised his grades, but he also inspired some of his classmates to get the job done as well. Matt truly demonstrated a growth mindset, and he inspired his peers to adopt that valuable perspective, too. 

Matt helped contribute to our classroom environment as one where all students can feel supported and able to ask questions. Ms. Petraitis, his English teacher, has also seen this in her class. “Matt has gone from being the student who gets frustrated and leaves class when presented with a challenge, to being the student that admits his frustration but continues to press through the difficult work. This year, he has gone above and beyond on his assignments for me. He is a positive role model for his peers!” Mike from Home Base remarks on Matt’s maturity when he says “He has become more patient and understanding with his teachers as well as his peers. He has developed self-awareness and can express his needs in a way that he was never able to in the past”. 

We are so proud of Matt and know he will only continue to grow after he graduates!

Juggling a ridiculous schedule of athletics, academics, community service, and a part-time job, Avery Scully has managed to make an incredible impact on her school and community during her time at Sanborn. Academically, she is one of the top students in the class of 2019. Athletically, she is one of the top distance runners not only in New Hampshire, but in the New England Region. However, Avery seems to be most proud of her efforts made toward improving her community. As a member of Sanborn’s National Honor Society and Key Club, Avery has had a hand in positively shaping the culture of all aspects of our school and the surrounding community. Key Club advisor Michelle Wheeler shared, “Avery Scully is top notch! She is guided by a strong moral compass to do what is good and right for herself and others. She is dependable and bright, steadfast and determined. I'm not really sure what Sanborn will do without a star like Avery Scully, but am excited to see her make the world a better one. “

In the classroom, Avery shows a maturity and dedication that every teacher would love to see from their students. Yearbook Advisor and Coach, Kerrie Alley, said “Avery is an outstanding leader in our Sanborn Community. She is very humble and kind, works hard in all that she sets out to do, and is an amazing young lady.” French teacher Dee Hambucken shares “ I feel so fortunate to have had Avery as a student during all four of her years here at Sanborn. She is diligent, positive, inquisitive, intelligent, and kind, and I’ve been continually amazed that she manages to do everything so well and on time given her head-spinning schedule. Between sports, volunteering, working, and school, I do not know how she finds time to breathe. Despite this, Avery comes to French class every day with a smile and a willingness to work. She is a ray of sunshine, and although I will miss her very much next year, it’s wonderful to know that she will be spreading her cheer where it is needed. Bonne chance!”

The classroom is just one area that Avery shines, as her athletic accomplishments are unparalleled at Sanborn. She has a unique way of connecting with students of all abilities and ages, and genuinely cares about the members of her team and doing what she can to help them succeed. Not only a great teammate, she is arguably the best distance runner the school has ever seen, breaking school records in every event she has run. She’ll graduate with a total of nine school records: Indoor track’s 1000m, 1500m, 3000m, 4x400m, 4x800m, and Distance Medley Relay. Outdoor track - 1600m, 3200m, 4x400m, and 2000m Steeplechase (if we kept a record for it!). Avery was also just recognized by the Eagle Tribune as one of the Merrimack Valley’s top Student Athletes. 

As an academic and athletic standout, Avery has had to weigh a number of options when evaluating her future plans, and ultimately chose to follow her heart and join Americorps where she will spend the next 10 months, starting in Mississippi, serving a community in need. She plans to attend school in New England, starting in the fall of 2020, and intends run both cross country and track. Avery will certainly leave Sanborn a better place than she found it. She has made the most of her time here and her teachers, teammates, and community are excited to see what the future holds!

Student Council Takes on State House

The members of Student Council visited the New Hampshire State House in Concord to attend the final New Hampshire Association of Student Councils (NHASC) meeting of the year. Sanborn Regional High School once again has earned the designation of an Honor Council, meeting the criteria of fundraising, spirit, government and community service.They had a wonderful year and should be proud of their accomplishments.

SRHS Announces Plans For Final Days of School For Grades 9-11

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 12 and 13. 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 who will not pass a course will have the opportunity to meet with their guidance counselor to complete a credit check, re-evaluate their course selections for the 2019-20 school year and to initiate the process for credit recovery.  

 

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 2:10 PM. Please also note that the last regular day of school for grades 9-11 will be Tuesday, June 11.

Your child will be notified by their teacher(s) by Tuesday, June 11 at the latest if they will be required to stay for any or all of the extended FLT sessions. For questions 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:

Technology Device Collection

 

All students will be permitted to take their school-issued technology devices (chromebooks/laptops) home for the summer. These devices have been checked out by students through our school library system. Before the end of the year, all students will need to renew the check-out of their device with the school library. If students do not complete this task before the last day of school then the school will assume that the device has been lost or damaged and will pursue payment of the replacement cost for the device. 

Please contact the office at (603) 642-3341 if you have any questions about this plan.

Graduation Has Been Set for June 7, 2019

A Message From Principal Brian M. Stack

Dear Students in the Class of 2019:

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 7, 2019. Congratulations to all seniors on your many accomplishments.

 

IMPORTANT: Our gymnasium has been closed unexpectedly due to a major water leak. As a result, we have no "back up" facility in the event of bad weather. Graduation will be LIGHT RAIN OR SHINE. Graduates will be under a tent, but audience members may need an umbrella. In the event of a heavy downpour or thunderstorms on June 7, graduation will be moved to Saturday June 8 (time to be determined). Please note, this is an emergency-option only, but one that we must keep available.

 

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 6 and 7. Please also remember that all students must have their $50 class dues ($20 senior dues) paid in order to participate in the graduation ceremonies.
