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

Nolan Duquette is honest, kind, a leader and an overall good person. When I first met Nolan as a freshman on the football field, he was very quiet. However, over the years I got to know him and learned that Nolan is a leader which his peers truly admire. Throughout Nolan’s high school career, he has enjoyed playing, both, football and baseball. His leadership earned him the title “Captain” of the varsity football team.

Some people may not know that one of Nolan’s favorite hobbies is fishing, and when he is not at practice or out fishing, you can find him enjoying some of Mom’s good ole home cooking- as Mr. Kelly explains, “One of my favorite Nolan stories involves a debate in class where a bunch of Nolan's friends argued whose Mom was the better cook. The final vote was deadlocked 4-4 with Ms. Duquette and another Mom and the verdict was that you were pretty fortunate to be invited to dinner at either home.”

Mr. Kelly also shared “Nolan has worked hard in High School. He works in the classroom and athletically. It has been fun to watch him develop confidence in his abilities. Nolan took a lead role in reconstructing signs we made for the Kingston Historical Society. No surprise there, leadership is one of his best qualities.”

Nolan has plans on attending college next year, and even possibly playing baseball. We wish you the best and know that you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to!

Ryan has been a pleasure to have in my class, and I am glad to have had the opportunity to get to know him. When he first entered my class, he didn’t have much confidence in his Spanish skills. The language wasn’t his strong suit, and he knew this. However, in the years since, his dedication to his work have pushed him time and time again to success. He asked questions, came into FLT for help, and passed his homework in on time. His strong work ethic speaks for itself.

Ryan is very respectful, and gets along great with both his peers and his teachers. I agree with Mr. Cass when he says that Ryan is “a model student for his peers”. Though he’s shy at first glance, outside of class he’s been very involved in his high school experience. He plays for Sanborn in tennis, track (indoors and outdoors), and soccer. Beyond that, he is also passionate about skiing, surfing, and fishing. His sophomore year he participated in Life of the Student.

I see Ryan as someone who’s made the most of all his opportunities in high school by making friends, getting involved, and pushing himself to success. In the future, he plans to major in health sciences or environmental science in college, though he hasn’t committed to any one career yet. I’m sure that a student as bright as him will succeed in anything he puts his mind to. Best of luck, we’ll all miss you, Ryan!

AP Exams are traditionally scheduled for the first two weeks of May. This year, students will be able to choose whether they would like to take the exams digitally or with traditional paper and pencil. Students will be asked to commit to their choice when they return to school after vacation. Additionally, the cost for the exam has increased to $95. Students must make the payment for the exam by April 2nd. Checks should be made payable to Sanborn Regional High School for $95 per exam. Please include your child’s name and the exam you are making payment for in the memo. Students should bring the check into the counseling office and they will be given a receipt. If your child is remote, please mail the check to Sanborn Regional High School, 17 Danville Rd, Kingston, NH 03848 and we will mail you a receipt. If you are experiencing a financial hardship, please contact Heidi Leavitt at hleavitt@sau17.net.

Recently, some Sanborn families have mentioned that they have not received the Phone Notifications coming out about weather-related school changes. Instead, these calls have been going to "spam" or are being silenced by the phone carriers.

Silencing calls from unknown numbers is something phone carriers are now doing to limit the number of spam calls we all receive. Unfortunately, this also blocks mass calls, like the ones we use to communicate snow days, cancellations, and other events.

In order to continue to receive these calls, and the important information we convey in them, please add the Sanborn School Office phone number (603.642.3688) to your contact list in your phone. This will notify your carrier that you know this number, and you'll still get our calls.

On a related note, our current phone notification system will be changing next year. We know that many families receive multiple calls about the same thing from us, and the current system does not allow us to limit this, which is one reason we'll be changing it next year. Thank you for your patience with this quirk.

We are committed to providing all our families up-to-date and accurate communication as the year progresses.

Thank you for your help!

The Sanborn Regional School District is planning to run a series of in-person summer enrichment camps for children of all ages. Camps provide an opportunity for children to learn new skills, explore a passion, and make new friends. Camps will follow current health and safety COVID guidelines and are open to students both in and out of the school district. Register early to secure your spot. Camps can only run if a minimum number of registrations are received. If camps need to be cancelled due to low enrollment, you will be notified on or before June 1 and be issued a full refund.
