Class of 2020: Your Journey to Graduation
Seniors and senior families, bring your tissue boxes for this aerial trip down memory lane. The pandemic forced our school to cancel a popular annual tradition - the day our seniors return to their elementary schools in caps and gowns to walk the halls for one last time, retracing their steps on their journey to graduation in the Fremont and Sanborn Schools. Thank you to Athletic Director Vicki Parady-Guay for developing this idea, and enlisting the help of Sanborn student Nick Keohane to record footage, Al Perry and his staff for painting our field with the 2020, and Mr. Brian Gray and the Modern Media class to produce this wonderful tribute for Sanborn's Class of 2020.
Family Survey on Remote Learning For Sanborn Regional High School
The end of the school year is quickly approaching, and we would like to hear from our families about the remote learning experience so that we can reflect on it as an administrative team. Please take a few minutes to answer the questions below.

Thank you for your time and support!
Baccalaureate 2020 Ceremony Information
Sanborn Regional High School is proud to be partnering with the First Congregational Church of Kingston to run its annual Baccalaureate Ceremony to honor the graduates in the Class of 2020. Graduates, their families and friends, and all in the community are invited to attend. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, the 2020 ceremony will be delivered using a virtual format which will be broadcast live on the Internet at the following link: www.youtube.com/c/srsdmeetingvideos. The event will take place on Thursday, June 4, 2020 at 7:00PM.

The Baccalaureate ceremony is traditionally run as a school-related event with the church. It is optional, and non-denominational.

We hope you will join us in celebrating the academic accomplishments of our Class of 2020 graduates!
Graduation Ceremony Information for the Class of 2020
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our seniors at a ceremony on June 5, 2020. The public is invited to line the parade route on Main Street in Kingston for a 5:30PM and also watch online our 4:00PM virtual ceremony.

4:00PM

Part 1 of the graduation ceremony (National Anthem, Awards Presentations, and Speeches) will be
broadcast live on the Internet at this link: www.youtube.com/c/srsdmeetingvideos. The only people
allowed on campus will be those delivering a speech.

5:15PM

Graduates and their family report to the Sanborn Seminary campus for a car parade. All cars should
enter from the Church Street side of the campus and will be lined up by Kingston Police. School Resource Officer, Dan Doyle, will be there setting up the parade. If you have questions at the Seminary, look for Dan. Graduates should be seated in the passenger seat. Class officers and those who have earned the three graduation titles of Valedictorian, Salutatorian, and Class Essayist should line up at the Bakie School. All are asked to stay in their cars at all times while waiting for the parade to start. Those who do not follow this rule will be asked to leave.

5:30PM

The parade will kick off, traveling down Main Street to the high school campus. The rules all must follow
during the parade are as follows:

  • Drivers: Maintain a safe distance between you and the car in front of you
  • Drivers: Keep your eyes on the road at all times
  • Per Kingston Police, all passengers must stay in their vehicle at all times and may not ride in the back of pickup trucks or flatbed trailers - all passengers must be in a seat with a seat belt on at all times. 

6:00PM

The parade will end at the school and cars will be lined up according to the map below. One at a time, cars will make their way to the stage. An usher will prompt each graduate when it is their time to get out and wait for their turn to walk across the stage. The graduate will then walk to the bell in the front of the school. Once the graduate has left the stage, the family can drive the car to the bell. At the bell, graduates will get a free picture taken by Garone Photography, and then return to their vehicle. At that time, the graduate and family can decide whether to exit campus or return to the end of the queue line to watch the remaining graduates. ALL FAMILY MEMBERS MUST SAY IN THEIR CARS AT ALL TIMES. Those who choose not to follow these rules will be asked to leave the campus immediately. The school will do its best to keep this part of the ceremony moving. It is expected to take 75 minutes to distribute all diplomas. There will be portable bathrooms available on the campus for those who need it.
Senior Spotlight Update
A Message From Mr. Stack
This year, our staff set a goal to write a senior spotlight article for every student. As of 6/2/2020, we have written 124 articles and we have 33 more to go. Many parents have emailed me to inquire when they can expect to see their child's. Please be patent. We will continue to run articles even after graduation until we have runt hem all. Staff are still working on the remaining articles.
Senior Spotlight: Megan Phaneuf
An Article by Staff Member Heather Wheeler
When I met Megan, she was a wide-eyed freshman with not a small amount of both enthusiasm and volatility. Having the honor of being one of Megan’s teachers for four years and getting to know her well, I have had the pleasure of watching her as she learned to corral her intellectual strength, to control her temper, to choose her battles, to use her voice, and to rely on her internal compass to guide her. Megan’s extraordinary ability to see - people, ideas, beauty, sadness, truth- and her exploding artistic expression has been a joy to observe.

Ms. Vitolo said: “Megan is spunky, funny, and temperamental. She has a passion for art that shows through her dedication to improving her natural talent. I truly appreciated her acceptance of me as her teacher despite never taking my class. She would come to me for advice about her work which shows maturity and an ability to take constructive criticism. I love that she is selling her work already. Megan improved leaps and bounds, and I am very proud of her. Her life experiences, empathy, and personality will be an asset to her as she considers Art Therapy. Megan, I wish you the best in all your endeavors.”

Ms. Swist added: “It is a dream to have Megan as a student. To my absolute delight, Megan likes spending most of her day at a studio table in the art room mixing paint and constantly revising her work with paint-covered hands. Watching Megan’s creative process is simply enjoyable and the sheer speed in which her paintings take form is exhilarating. Her projects are beautiful and unique creations that reflect her energy, spunk, and genuine curiosity. She has a cohesive collection of portraits that explore a realistic approach to rendering anatomy balanced with her darker and poetic artistic twist. Our conversations are from artist to artist, and her inquisitive questions spark and inspire me. In the art room, Megan fluidly moves from one artistic creation into the next, and each time her technical and conceptual abilities jumped in terms of complexity and skill. Megan is incredibly talented, but above that, she is not afraid to jump full force into a new idea, medium, or technique. Like many artists, Megan’s workspace is an organized chaos, and she is constantly swinging into the art room to look at her in-progress work or tell me about her multitude of new ideas. Megan is the driving force behind her artistic ideas and it is truly amazing to watch her challenge herself and radiate confidence with her success. Megan, your personality, inner strength, and passion bubble out of you! I will miss you so much.”
I concur that Megan is an inspiring young woman. She plans to attend the University of New Hampshire in the fall, where she will no doubt be met with success. I hope she forever maintains her sense of humor, her passion for art, and her unique and refreshingly sincere way of finding beauty in the world around her, in the light and in the shadows. I will miss her very much next year.
Congratulations Megan and the Class of 2020!
Senior Spotlight: Luke Chesbro
An Article by Staff Member Matt Bradd
Luke Chesbro is a complex individual, in a good way! I have worked with Luke for the last nine years in the school band program where he plays percussion. Luke and I did not start off on great terms. As a beginning percussion student at Bakie Elementary, he was often stubborn, obstinate, and would seriously push my buttons. I thought he didn’t enjoy playing, and he’d quit the next year.

But he didn’t quit. Instead he came back, still stubborn, BUT he came back. And the next year, and the next, and so on and so on. Over time, I discovered Luke’s sense of humor, and grew to really appreciate his low-key resistance mixed with subtle wit. I discovered he truly was listening to my critiques. He wanted to improve. He wanted to be challenged. Luke worked hard, and got better and better as a percussionist to the point where I could trust him with some of the more difficult parts, making him a key component of the high school ensemble.

Luke’s teachers had this to say of him:

Luke and I have spent a lot of quality time together. He can be a little grumpy sometimes, and I'm not the most easy-going teacher, so I appreciate the happy medium we've reached now that I have him as a senior. He's a good kid who wants to succeed, and I wish him the best at Sanborn and beyond. – Aaron Cass

Luke Chesbro is quiet, but when you get to know him, he has a great sense of humor. Techy, Gamer, Luke has one of the best friend groups at Sanborn. I will miss him in Advisory next year. – Jack Kelly

Luke went to Germany and Poland with me a few years ago - this is where I learned about "European Luke". Luke surprised us all with how at home he was in these European countries. He chose to do an extra project for an ELO, focusing on food. Every time we would go out to eat, he would break out his notebook and jot down notes about his experience. His confidence is something that really came out while we were overseas and I loved seeing him come into his own during the trip! - Ashley Harbel

To say that Luke has come a long way would be an understatement. He has really come into his own in this last year, and I for one am excited to see what’s in store for him. Luke will be studying computer science at Keene State College next year.
Senior Spotlight: Peyton MacDougall
An Article by Staff Member Scott Maxwell
Peyton MacDougall has made the most of his time at Sanborn! I got to know Peyton through track and field, and he impressed me from day one with his determination and leadership ability. Although his hurdling career only lasted one high school season (before focusing on throwing), Peyton was the resident expert on all things hurdles. He helped his teammates through drills and made the most of his time running down the back hallways of the school. Peyton shared that some of his best high school memories were from days at track practice.

I think woodworking teacher Jack Kelly hit the nail on the head (pun intended) when he said, “the best thing about Sanborn is students like Peyton MacDougall. Peyton is disciplined and conscientious, in the classroom, in athletics and in life. I have worked with him for the past year and a half and it has been a lot of fun for both of us. Because Peyton is in the Building Trades program at SST, he has been a leader in our woodshop classes. I can rely on him to work with students who are a little behind, the kids look up to Peyton and it's good for everyone. Peyton has taken a lead role in making a series of woodshop projects for the High School with officer Dan. Good luck next year Peyton, we will miss you.

As an athlete and student Peyton is driven and dedicated, and has seemed to really develop a great career path through his work at Sanborn and the Seacoast School of Technology. This year, Sanborn’s CTE Department honored Peyton as their departmental award winner! Peyton shared that his favorite classes throughout high school were through the Building Construction program at SST. Over the past two years at SST, Peyton has been a part of a crew that built numerous sheds in the shop, constructed a barn for a community member, and worked to remodel a house!

During his time here at the high school, he's been a quiet leader on the athletic field and in the classroom. Peyton’s work ethic and attitude have certainly helped fuel his team’s success, and has made many of us at the school better teachers and coaches as a result. Peyton will take his skills to Keene State College next year where he will continue his work in Construction Safety. We wish you the best of luck Peyton!

Congratulations!
Senior Spotlight: Prudence Harrington
An Article by Staff Member Sarah Brown
Prudence or “Pru” as I affectionately call her, has shown that she is years beyond her age with the wisdom and maturity she has displayed with staff and classmates. She is a passionate person who has the gift to see the good in everyone and is not afraid to stand up for those in need. Prudence’s journey will continue next year at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), where she will major in the Dental Hygiene program. I know that she will do well and accomplish her long term goal of becoming a dentist. This goal is just another example of how Prudence wants to help others stay healthy and take care of themselves.

Many of Prudence's teachers have also been impressed by the individuality and confidence Prudence exudes as noted by Mr. Krzyzanowski. “ Prudence is one of the most independent students I have ever met. She has the ability to march to the beat of her own drum, or with the beat of others. She is no-nonsense but is always making others laugh”.

Mr. Croteau was one of the first teachers to experience the knowledge and poise Prudence was able to offer at Sanborn, not to mention her fantastic fashion sense! “I first met Prudence when she came to Sanborn in her junior year, and quickly became an important part of Psychology class. Her insight and perspective from a more urban community was just what the class needed. I got to know and appreciate Prudence for her kind, respectful and thoughtful way...not to mention her outstanding fashion sense. She is the type of student the Sanborn community embraces, and adds to the multilayered fabric (pun intended) of SRHS!” Mrs. Belcher, who had Prudence in Fitness My Way, was also fortunate enough to have Prudence in class, shared the same sentiments as Mr. Croteau. “She is an amazing young lady! I could not be more proud of her for finding and embracing all the wonderful things that make her unique!”

While at Sanborn, Prudence has done very well in her academic classes proving to be a vital part of class discussions as noted by Mrs. St. Jean. “ Having Prudence in Senior English this year has been delightful. She's such an incredibly insightful person. I've so enjoyed our discussions about art and poetry and hearing her unique perspectives. I wish her all the best in the future!”
Another staff member who recognized Prudence’s fresh take on the world was Ms. Woodman, who enjoyed conversing and getting to know her. “Prudence has always impressed me by her ability to speak her mind and stand up for what she believes in. She is one smart, tough cookie and I'm going to miss her next year! Prudence got into her school of choice, Mass College of Pharmacy, and we are all very proud of her! I'm so excited for Prudence to take this next step. Congratulations Prudence!”

It’s no wonder the meaning of Prudence is “in good judgement”. She has definitely lived up to this meaning and will continue to in her future endeavors. Pru, I am so proud of you and cannot wait to see what the future holds and all of the goals you will continue to reach and surpass. Congratulations!
Senior Spotlight: William Tibbetts
An Article by Staff Member Katie Graham
It has been a great pleasure to have William Tibbetts in my class for both Junior and Senior English. My favorite memories of Will were in Senior English and that friendly (was it friendly?) banter he had back and for with his friend, Max. Though Will comes across as a quiet student much of the time, he has been a really fun person to get to know.

Will spent some of his time during high school studying Automotive at Seacoast School of Technology. He plans to begin work right out of high school as an auto mechanic. He says his favorite moments in high school happened during Sophomore year, which was really fun.

Mr. Kelly had this to say about William: “William Tibbets often looks serious and solemn, but that masks a great sense of humor. When you get to know him, he is a master of the well timed wisecrack. That's important with his friend group, who are an irreverent bunch. William is mechanically inclined. He excelled in Auto at Sanborn with Mr Duffy, and he has continued to excel at SST as a second year Automotive student. He did pretty well with me in Woodshop too. I will miss William and his group of friends, but he is well set up for the future.”

Ms. Heather Wheeler had this to say: “I had the pleasure of having William in class all four years while he was in high school. William is an uncommonly independent thinker. When forming his opinion, he considers thoughtfully and thoroughly and is committed to his ideas. He is a quick study with even the most complex content, he is a natural at math calculations, he is extraordinarily capable with hands on work, he has a quiet and entertaining sense of humor, and he has an unparalleled work ethic. He was a pleasure to teach and to get to know. Possessed of such a winning combination of characteristics, I am sure that William will be a great success at any path he chooses after high school. I wish him the very best!”

Congratulations on finishing up high school, Will! Continue to let your passion for hard work fuel the things you will do in the future!
Senior Spotlight: Daniel Warren
An Article by Staff Member Katie Graham
Daniel Warren comes across as a very quiet student in the classroom, however I noticed in our time together in Senior English, his mind is anything but quiet. Dan is full of big ideas, he expresses them thoughtfully in his writing, and he is often the commander of his own learning.

During Dan’s time at Sanborn, he was part of the Golf Team. Mr. Adams, his coach, had this to say about him: “Dan was a joy to have on the golf team for his four years at Sanborn Regional High School.  Dan will be missed on the team next year.”

Dan says that his favorite moments of high school were spent studying Computer Science at the Seacoast School of Technology last year. Next year, he will be joining the Marines.

Congratulations on finishing high school, Dan! I know you will bring the same thoughtfulness to your goals in the future.
Senior Spotlight: Galvin Miller
An Article by Staff Members Katie Graham and Denise Alenskis
If you were ever missing Galvin Miller during class, it was usually easy to locate him. Look no further than one of the shop classes! Galvin has always had a great interest in the automotive and welding fields. He enjoys working on his vehicles, motor bikes, and four wheelers… anything with a motor! He was even asked to work on the Superintendent’s vehicle, because Mr. Foti knew he would do a good job. He will continue to excel in the automotive field after high school.

While he would probably deny that he likes history, he is well versed in this content area. He also has a creative side. Galvin enjoyed creating wire tree sculptures, a collaborative assignment between Art and Welding class taught by an artist. He would even work on his sculpture during his study hall!

Ms. Alenskis has this to say about Galvin: “Galvin has always been respectful to me and I wish him the best after high school.”

Ms. Graham says: “I’ve enjoyed getting to know you a little better Senior year and I wish you the best of luck pursuing your career!”

Congratulations on finishing high school, Galvin! Continue pursuing your interests to make the best life for yourself!
Senior Spotlight: Shawn Villemaire
An Article by Staff Member Heather Wheeler
I met Shawn Villemaire during his freshman year when he was in my Physical Science class. Shawn told me that he didn’t really like science very much, but that didn’t stop him from asking great questions and trying hard to do well. What struck me immediately about Shawn was his natural curiosity and his common sense approach to his life.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Shawnie well over the next four years. For a guy who doesn’t like science all that much, he spent a lot of time in my classes working very hard. His willingness to push through a tough place to achieve understanding belied a strong work ethic that I know he demonstrates in other areas of his life. He has worked throughout high school, maintained passing grades (albeit with some support), while all the while watching over his little sister and his friends. Shawn has shown that his huge heart and his unwavering sense of humor are at his core, and he has been able to call on those natural strengths in even the toughest of times. These wonderful qualities will continue to serve him after he graduates on June 5.

Ms. Harbel had this to say,”Though I haven't had Shawn in my classroom since 9th grade English, every time I saw him in the hallway and said hello, he was ready with a smile and a hello back. One of my favorite things about him is how he protects those that he cares about. He has a good heart and I'll miss seeing his face in the hallways around school!”

From Ms. Vitolo, “Shawn was in my art class the first year I was at SRHS. He was often polite and helpful. He wasn't much into art, but he did show some effort. He still says "hi" when I see him in the halls. I am glad to have gotten to teach him. Shawn, I wish you the best.”

Ms. Babcock added, “I met Shawn in a math class I often went into during his Junior year. He was always very appreciative of help when it was offered and over time he let his great sense of humor show through. While we didn't interact much this past year he always made a point to say hi when we passed in the halls. I get the sense that Shawn has a big heart and cares about those he is closest to. I wish him all the best in whatever his future holds for him.”

Ms. Farrar had this to say, “I would describe Shawn as a kind, polite, hardworking young man who truly loves his family. I will miss seeing Shawn in the building but am so proud of him and I know he will continue working hard.”
Senior Spotlight: Morgan Laskiewicz
An Article by Staff Member Heather Wheeler
Although I have known Morgan since she was a freshman, I did not really get to know Morgan well until her junior year in my chemistry class. How lucky for me that I had that chance! Morgan is a delightful young woman. She is often quiet and almost always projects a laid back attitude; underneath her still waters, Morgan’s feet are paddling! Full of insight, equipped with a sharp intelligence and a quick and hilarious wit, Morgan is well worth a closer look. Always polite, often an observer but always a generous contributor when asked, an independent thinker, a very loyal friend, Morgan added a special contribution to every aspect of her high school life.

Ms. McCarthy had this to say, “Morgan has been so great to work with in her four years at SRHS, and I'm so glad I got to know her early on in her freshman year. Her favorite word is definitely "chill" and when you know to push past that relaxed one word you find that she has so much to say. She is amazing to listen to, talk to, and discuss things with and she brings such interesting perspectives to the discussions. She has so many things that interest her - electricity, planes, flying, working with people, that I know she will find success at whatever career (or careers) she chooses to pursue.”

With all of her interests coupled with her intelligence and appreciation for a “chill” approach, Morgan will undoubtedly be successful at whatever path she chooses after high school! I wish her the very best.

Congratulations Morgan, and the Class of 2020!

Personal Item Pick Up Plans For Students in Grades 9-11
Personal Item Pick Up:

This is a two part process.

ONE: On June 8, between 8:30AM-2PM, students in grades 9-11 will be invited to come to the campus to pick up personal belongings that they do not wish to leave in the building until we reopen. We are asking students to let non-essential items stay in their lockers, which will remain untouched and secure. Students are required to complete THIS SURVEY by 6/3/2020 to notify school administrators of any belongings they would like to have retrieved from the building.

TWO: Students will SIGN UP for a 20 minute appointment slot to limit the number of cars on the campus to twenty at any one time. All will be required to stay in their cars at all times and a staff member will come out to assist. As long as students complete the survey above, items will be pulled ahead of time by a staff member to make the pick-up process run smoothly.

Textbook and Chromebook Drop Off:

Students are being asked to hold on to their Chromebooks, textbooks, and any other school equipment that is normally returned at the end of the year until the school reopens. Students who are not planning to return to Sanborn next year can make arrangements to drop these items off with Principal Brian Stack by emailing him at bstack@sau17.net.
Tentative Summer Prom Date
Mental Health Tips From Our School Counselors
Mental Health Coping Skills

We all recognize how hard it is to stay busy and to cope when we “feel” that so many options are closed to us. It’s important to start to think outside the box of things to do!!

  • Things to do to clear your head as the weather gets nicer:
  • Frisbee Golf
  • Clement Disc Farm - Haverhill MA
  • Amesbury Pines - Amesbury MA
  • The Hollows - Manchester NH
  • Google courses near me!
  • Rock painting for people to find as they are walking
  • Chalk activities for people walking 
  • Rock Garden - painting, formations,
  • Try a new “sport”
  • Bocce Ball
  • Cornhole
  • Croquet
  • Badminton (don’t forget the shuttlecock)
  • Plant vegetables - you don’t need to build a garden, grab a few pots!
  • Create games in your yard like Soccer Golf
  • Trail walking
  • Hiking
  • Fly a kite - it doesn’t need to be at the beach
  • Learn to cook a new thing every week - desserts? Dinners? Breakfast?
  • Learn to play an instrument - search CraigsList or FB Marketplace
  • Offer to do yard work for those who can’t - maybe they will pay you in cookies!
  • Make a tire swing
  • Create a time capsule - how cool would it be to look back on this time in ten years? You think you will remember?
  • Get crafty and creative
  • Plan a fantasy vacation- explore hotels and activities in cities you would love to visit
  • Virtual museum tours
  • Do a virtual job shadow
  • Teach a grandparent how to zoom and spend some time interviewing them, what did they do to prepare for life after high school
  • Make a COVID bucket list - all the things you wish you could do but can’t

Most importantly, reach out and be with people (following social distancing rules of course). Enjoy the sun or dance in the rain; be present in the moment and try not to worry about things you cannot control in the future. If nothing else, remember you can always find inspiration from Disney movies, for example:

"Venture outside your comfort zone. The rewards are worth it." -Tangled or “Adventure is out there” - Up.
Food Distribution for Families in Need for the Summer in the Summer Months
Dear Families,

As the year is winding down, we would like to give you some information about lunch deliveries for the last few weeks of school. Memorial Day is on Monday, May 25th. We will not be delivering lunches on this day or on Tuesday. However, you will have received a breakfast and a lunch for each of your children with the previous Friday's delivery. We will be delivering on Wednesday, May 27th and Friday May 29th.

The last day of school is June 2nd which is a Tuesday. The last day for lunch deliveries will be Friday June 5th. Beginning on Monday June 8th families may come to the Sanborn Regional High School on MWF to pick up lunches for your children between 10 and 11. Staff will be in the front of the school waiting to put bagged lunches into your car. Lunch pickup will continue in this manner until Monday June 29th. In order to ensure that we have enough lunches everyday for pickup, we will be creating a survey which you will find on your child’s school website for families to indicate their interest in picking up food. Food will be available on a first come, first served basis; thus it is important for you to complete the survey so that we may prepare enough lunches on a daily basis.

The Sanborn Regional School District is exploring ways to continue to provide meals for pickup during the summer months. Once we have received approvals, we will let families know through the schools’ Facebook pages as well as the community pages and Mr. Ambrose’s Constant Contact Newsletters.

We recognize that despite the State of NH allowing businesses to reopen, not everyone will be back to work. If you and your family experience issues with job/income loss or food insecurity, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We will help direct you to resources both in our district as well as in our community. Please reach out to me at hleavitt@sau17.net.
Sanborn District Releases Important Information Regarding Summer Programming and Prom
The Sanborn Regional School District has received guidance from the State that all District facilities are to remain closed for the summer to the public due to the COVID19 pandemic. As a result, the following plans will be put in place to address regularly-scheduled summer events.

Extended School Year Programming

Locating Extended School Year (ESY) programming in school buildings in Sanborn will not be an option this year. We are planning for the summer based upon currently known and anticipated health/safety recommendations, and therefore, have decided that ESY services will occur in a remote learning fashion. This applies to students with Extended School Year (ESY) services on their IEP. In addition, if your child has an IEP, you should have received a letter regarding Extended School Year services. Please refer to this letter for additional information. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your current Special Education Case Manager and/or Building Coordinator (LEA).

Summer Enrichment

All summer enrichment camps are cancelled. We apologize for any inconveniences that this may cause families who were counting on the camps running. If you have already submitted payment to the high school, the District will be issuing you a refund. You can expect to receive a check in 3-4 weeks in the mail. Please email Sally L’Antigua at slantigua@sau17.net with any refund questions.

Athletics and Recreation

Until further notice, all summer athletic / recreation programs are cancelled. Coaches are prohibited from personally participating in individual or group activities. This includes direct (on-site) supervision of student-athlete workouts from any distance, or coaching summer league teams at any location, whether they are permitted by local authorities or not. Coaches are encouraged to provide student-athletes with drills and skill work to be done independently. Coaches will actively discourage student-athletes from participating in any athletic activities with their non-family peers.

Sanborn Athletics leadership will actively monitor the advice from the NH Department of Education, various health-related agencies (such as the CDC) and the NH Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) for guidance on any changes to these guidelines. We hope to have a decision on outdoor activities starting on or around July 1 by the middle of June.

Prom

The Junior Prom, originally scheduled for May, will be held when social distancing restrictions lift. Right now the class has booked a tentative date with the venue (Castleton in Windham) of July 30, 2020. The class also has fall dates on hold, should they be needed.
Driver Education Information
The next Driver education course will begin June 14, 2020 and run until July 29, 2020. Classroom academics will be done remotely via zoom. Driving will start when the Governor lifts the restriction.

The prior May course and June course will run together. The student cannot be younger than 15 years and 9 months old on June 14, 2020. Sign-up online at:  www.prostaffdrivingschool.com, Rick & Karen

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!
