Personalization, Risk-Taking, Integrity, Discovery, and Empowerment

Bond.............., Jake Bond. He may not work for the Secret Intelligence Service, but he is a young man who loves sports, playing golf and playing fantasy football with his friends. Jake is a resourceful, helpful, nice, funny and talkative student in the classroom and on the golf course.

Mrs. Jenn Belcher, a wellness teacher at Sanborn, states that Jake “has a great sense of humor, fantastic work ethic and was an all around pleasure to have in class”.

I had the pleasure of having Jake in my Google Apps class and as a member of the Sanborn golf team for the past four years. I would have to agree with Mrs. Belcher's statement. Jake loves to play golf, but I think Jake also loves the ability to talk to the other players while playing a round of golf.  He is able to have discussions on any topic.

I have known Jake since he joined the golf team his freshman year, where his skills were not quite ready to play in team matches. But with his resourcefulness, Jake got a job working at Candia Woods Country Club every summer, where he was able to play golf as part of his employment privileges and improve his golf game over his four years on the Sanborn golf team. Jake improved his game so much , during his senior year he played as the number two on the ladder and contributed to the team's nine wins this season, just missing the playoffs by one position. Jake took his knowledge of the game and became very helpful improving the other players of the complex rules of golf and the other players' golf techniques.

A love of sports and golf has Jake planning on following a career in sports management. Jake's dream job would be to work in the front office of a professional sports team. He has not decided on which college he would be attending quite yet, but he is looking into University of Tampa, Plymouth State, Southern New Hampshire University, University of New Hampshire, University of Louisville or Florida Gulf Coast University. The staff at Sanborn and I look forward to seeing what Jake's future will be, but I know he will make it fun for everyone he works with in the future. Good luck Jake, keep hitting the long ball off the tee.

David (Keegan) Faulkner loves music, sports and video games. One of his biggest loves is soldering with his grandpa, working on electronic devices and attempting to get them working again. This love of soldering may lead Keegan to pursue a career in electrical or mechanical engineering while studying at New Hampshire Technical Institute or the University of New Hampshire.  Sophomore year Keegan was in my Google Apps class where he would work through the projects making sure to complete the work that was asked for each assignment. I currently have Keegan in my gaming class and he is a polite, respectable and funny young man. He has always put the work in to create high quality assignments. In his senior year, Keegan has shown to be a leader in the classroom helping and showing other students how to create high quality assessments. He has shown he can give advice to other students to improve their work, while he works on making a quality project of his own.

Keegan can always be seen with at least one earbud in his year so he can listen to music while he works. He finds that music helps bring out the creative side of him.  Keegan has played a musical instrument for as long as he can remember and has been a member of the Sanborn Music department for about nine years.

Music director and teacher Matt Bradd stated that he is “starting his 9th year of working with Keegan Faulkner in our band program. He is a valued member of the Symphonic Band where he has played alto, tenor, and now baritone saxophone. Keegan has been a hard worker and shows a lot of initiative in learning new pieces. He's done an exceptional job in his years in Sanborn Music and has been a real leader amongst his peers.”

I look forward to seeing what Keegan's future holds, may it be in music or engineering. Sanborn cannot wait to see what he can accomplish after high school.

The Sanborn Complete Athlete was developed to increase awareness of how impactful healthy habits can be in our female athletes daily lives. Our speakers and workouts focused on developing a healthy mind, having a positive mindset, building strength and agility and learning what fuels our bodies. Our Female Athletes developed tools to build their skills, strength and nutrition to be more successful mentally, emotionally and physically as a complete athlete.

We kicked off the program in the off season and will be continuing throughout the winter season with speakers and non sport specific team building activities to increase awareness and confidence.

Starting your day on an empty stomach is like trying to start a car without fuel. Breakfast is your fuel to get your day started. When you eat breakfast you will perform better in school and physical activities. Your body needs energy to function and grow and calories you get from food is that energy. If you skip breakfast you tend to eat more calories throughout the day which can lead to an unwanted gain in weight. You will notice that your mood is affected and you may experience lightheadedness, a headache, upset stomach or feeling fatigued. Every week student's visit the school health office with these symptoms as a result of skipping breakfast. Fuel up for the day and eat breakfast!

Below are some helpful links for healthy eating. Read and enjoy!
