Senior Spotlight: Wyatt Linville
|
|
Note: Each week, we will feature 1-2 seniors with a spotlight article, written by a staff member.
This article was written by teacher Liz Richardson
|
|
Wyatt Linville is known for his charismatic quality and witty jokes, especially among the science teachers. Getting to know him in science class and his continued visits just to say “Hi” have lead to my understanding of Wyatt as a very fascinating individual. He has come a long way since I met him as a sophomore, when he was admittedly immature. Since he was named co-captain of the varsity soccer team and became a part of Life of a Student his sophomore year, he has made tremendous gains. He has been a consistent competitor on the seacoast united team and was even named one of the top 10 area soccer goal scorers last year!
Wyatt says his favorite part of high school was getting his GPA above 3.0 when he was a junior and maintaining that status. He attributes this to figuring out how to manage his time and get work done. His favorite classes were all science classes - biology, chemistry, anatomy. In speaking to his other science teachers, they commented that Wyatt is curious and unstoppable when he wants to know how the science behind what he is learning works. After graduation from Sanborn, Wyatt hopes to attend a 4-year college and play collegiate soccer while majoring in a field like exercise science or physical therapy. I expect that he will find success in this area because of his sincere interest in science and his growing leadership skills. Best of luck to Wyatt as he extends his time on the field and uses his skills on the sidelines for years to come!

Principal Brian Stack Shares His Presentation to the School Board and BudCom on Class Size and Staffing
|
|
This video is a summary of the presentation Principal Brian Stack delivered to the SRSD School Board and Budget Committee at their meeting on November 29, 2018. The purpose of the presentation was to answer, for the two groups, questions that they generated regarding our staffing levels, and the impact to making staffing reductions if the School Board were to lower the graduation requirements and/or institute a minimum class size requirement for each class offered during the day.

Seniors Last Day of Class PROPOSED Celebratory Activity / Event
A $50 Deposit is Due by December 10 to Secure Your Spot!
|
|
As a result of the survey conducted throughout October and early November, the SRHS community and SRHS PTO propose a senior class celebration event designed to give all interested seniors a fun, safe event to create lasting memories together.
WHEN: Last regular day of classes, Friday, May 31, 2019.
WHAT: Games, DJ, Dancing, and pasta dinner at the Austin17 House in Brentwood from 5:30 - 9:00 PM.
Then, at 9:30 PM, students will board buses and head to Boston for a moonlight cruise around Boston Harbor aboard the Odyssey Cruise Line. The cruise will include a D.J., dancing, appetizers, and beverages.
Weather permitting, Odyssey typically cruises Boston’s inner harbor past Castle Island out to Boston Light and then past Logan Airport. Odyssey then enters Charlestown passing the historic Naval Yard and the U.S.S. Constitution and returns to Rowes Wharf along the shores of Boston’s North End.
|
|
NEXT STEPS: $50 Payment REQUIRED from EACH student interested, due by December 10. The check must be made payable to SRHS PTO. This is required in advance to secure the cruise with a minimum of 100 students necessary to make the reservation with Odyssey Cruises. There will be fundraising taking place in hopes to offset BUS AND AUSTIN 17 HOUSE COST. If you have extenuating circumstances and need financial assistance, please speak privately to Ms. Ryan, Mrs. Feeney, or Mr. Stack.
HOW DO I SIGN UP? Senior Class volunteers will be available to answer questions and collect your $50 deposit and registration information the week of December 4 through December 10th at lunchtime. Or you can find Ms. Ryan, Mrs. Feeney, or Mr. Stack if you have other questions.

An Update From Southern Rockingham Coalition for Youth (SoROCK)
|
Hello Sanborn Community!
It seems that Winter has found us a little early this year! I hope everyone is staying warm. SoRock was very busy over the end of Summer into the Fall! We enjoyed meeting many people at the Ellis School open house and Girl Scout Safety Event in September. In October our towns participated in the DEA Drug Take Back day and some of our Sanborn Leo’s were even able to partner with the police department this year! We participated in the Sanborn Senior Day of Caring and conducted a focus group to gather the important insight of teens on substance misuse trends in their communities. We also launched new sessions of both our P.A.S.T.A Caregiver and grandparent support group as well as Staying Connected to your Teen workshop’s. In October we also partnered with the Austin 17 House, UNH Cooperative Extension and the NH Chapter of the National Society for Suicide Prevention on 2 mental health and suicide awareness events for parents and community members. October ended with Red Ribbon Prevention Awareness week and we kicked off November with presentations to both HS students and the community by International mental and physical health/performance expert John Underwood!
SoRock is a community-based coalition with over a 25-year history of working collaboratively with federal, state and local organizations to help promote, support and sustain healthy choices for families in our communities. We do this by actively working to reduce and prevent alcohol, marijuana, prescription and other drug misuse. SoRock relies on community engagement to be successful in it’s mission. Please visit our website sorocknh.org or follow us on social media @SoRockNH to stay up to date on prevention programming and events in the area. If you would like to get more involved reach out to me at sorocknhcc@gmail.com or give me a call anytime at 603-642-3341 x 196.

PTO Clothing Donation Bins
|
When you drop your unwanted clothing off in these bins, the SRHS PTO gets paid based on the weight of the clothing! This is a really easy way to help our school. All PTO proceeds go directly back to programming and scholarships that directly benefit our students.
Did you know? From April of 2015 - May 2017, this fundraiser has helped us raise nearly $2400.00 for the PTO. Help us double that number by sharing this opportunity with your friends, your family, and your neighbors!
