Seniors & Senior Families: Financial Aid Night is October 3!

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, September 18th at 6pm in the Conference Room (Room 102) at the school. We normally meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 6pm.

If you have any questions or information you would like to share with our organization, please contact Barbara Munroe, PTO President, at bemunroe1@gmail.com.
SRHS PTO Launches its Back to School "Un-Fundraiser"
We are asking for your support for our 2019 back to school Un-Fundraiser. Simply put, an Un-Fundraiser is a way to donate money without having to sell or buy anything. Isn’t that the best?? 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly to the SRHS PTO, and then it goes right to our kids, which is the best place to put it! Where does this money go you might ask? 

Each year, our PTO supports the following kinds of activities:
 
• Starter cash for the in-coming freshmen student activities account
• Classroom grants, up to $250 per teacher, to fund innovative programming
• Scholarships to Sanborn Seniors
• Funds to support class activities such as the Senior Cruise in Boston.
• Senior Success Day
• Teachers’ meals for the open houses & Teacher Appreciation Week
• Strategies for College Presentation for parents
We hope you were able to appreciate the sarcasm and humor in this form of request and we thank you for your time and monetary donation.
September Counseling Corner: An Update From the Guidance Office
PSAT Prep, Senior College Night, and College Fair Info!
As one can expect it has been very busy in the counseling office to start the year. Schedule changes are now complete and the students seem to be settling into their classes. 

On September 16th we kick off the Senior College Application season with a senior parents night in the library at 6:00pm. We will discuss the application timeline, letters of recommendation, Naviance and the Common Application. On September 17th, Seniors will receive the same information during a Senior Post-Secondary Kickoff.  

Once again, we will host over 70 colleges for our Annual College Fair on September 25th. The admissions representatives start their morning at the high school with a presentation by Principal Stack who discusses Sanborn’s grading system and competency based education. All of the counselors also take this time to meet with the admissions representatives. All grades have an opportunity to visit the college fair and the students will have all participated in advisory activities which help to prepare them to attend the college fair.  The list of colleges represented will be on the high school website on the counseling office page

Speaking of which, the counseling office has a new look on the website! You will find many links to helpful resources including College Board, Naviance, ACT, Khan Academy and NCAA. Please check back frequently as we will be adding links for mental health resources, internship opportunities and scholarship information.

Are you wondering how you will pay for college? On October 3rd at 6:00pm, NHHEAF (NH Higher Education Assistance Foundation) will give a presentation to explain the FAFSA (Federal Application for Federal Student Aid), how to apply, what exactly is an EFC (Expected Family Contribution and how to find free money (grants and scholarships).  

Finally, we will be meeting with all of our Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors to do pre-administration paperwork for the PSAT/NMSQT (grades 10 and 11) and the PSAT 8/9 (grade 9). All students will take the exams on October 16th here at school. This is a great opportunity for students to get a sense of what the actual SAT is like and there is no cost for the students to participate. On this day Seniors will be expected to participate in Post-Secondary planning activities such as college visits (we will have a bus going to Manchester Community College as well as a 4 year school), job shadows or military recruitment centers. Stay tuned for more information and permission slips.

As always, counselors continue to meet with all students to support them emotionally, academically and socially. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s counselor.

Athletic Booster Update
Your Sanborn Athletic Boosters would like to Thank all of the volunteers that came out to help for Reach The Beach! You all Rock! We had about 48 volunteers throughout the day and we could have had more, please help us next year to beat this record of volunteers! You really make a difference in how our transition stop runs smoothly and helps the van drivers and runners coordinate through our school campus. This is our largest fund raising event of the year! First time is has rained on us and you all stayed in it until the end! Way to Go! Reach The Beach does take a village, we are so thankful for our village community!

That’s a wrap for 2019 Homecoming! Congratulations to all the classes for a fabulous Sanborn Homecoming week! From the banners to the parade floats, they all showed great team spirit , hard work & the attention to detail.  Congratulations to the Senior Class for taking the trophy!

An Update From Southern Rockingham Coalition for Youth (SoROCK)
YOUTH IN ACTION- SAVE THE DATE!  COMMUNITY WIDE, ALL AGES ART SHOW WILL BE ON DECEMBER 13th! “HEALING THROUGH THE ARTS” is aimed at reducing the stigma of mental health and substance use disorders. Our hope is to engage all local school art departments in the project along with the community.  Many of our members are upperclassmen this year so we’re hoping to add more underclassmen interested in making a difference! If your student (in any grade) is interested in helping to support and inform their peers by addressing current issues related to mental health, vaping/alcohol and drug use, self-esteem , friendships/relationships and more, please encourage them reach out to SoRock in room 111 for more information or sign up for Mrs. Feeney during FLT on C days!  Next Meeting will be Wednesday 9/25! 

**Important Note** SoRock has reached the end of our current funding as of September 30th . We may receive a very short extension and we did NOT get the new federal funding we were hoping for.  We will require NEW funding ASAP in order to continue to serve our communities in the capacity we currently do, without funding we will not have staff (including myself). If you are interested in helping to support the coalition in any way, please reach out to sorocknhcc@gmail.com.   For more information about SoRock click here.

PTO Clothing & Shoe Donation Bins
When you drop your unwanted clothing and shoes 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.  NOTE: Shoes must go in a separate bin.

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!
