Southern District Fall Conference
On Thursday, October 8th, the Sanborn Student Council hosted the annual Southern District Fall Conference. We had a beautiful day for team building and idea sharing among student leaders from Exeter, Salem, Timberlane, and Winnacunnet. We learned leadership skills like teamwork and communication through activities like the Human Pretzel, the Whale Watch balancing platform, swinging over the Peanut Butter Pit, and helping everyone into the Eagles' Nest. The big takeaway was how listening and making a plan can help us be more effective leaders. This has become a great way to kick off the year for each of our Southern District councils and we appreciate their continued participation.
PSATs
On Wednesday, students in grades 9–11 spent the morning taking the PSATs, while our seniors participated in their Seniors in Action Day. Students worked hard throughout the morning, focusing on their assessments and making the most of their time. After a busy morning, all students enjoyed a break with lunch and a school-wide volleyball tournament for grades 9–12. The tournament was a great way for students to have a brain break after a busy morning. A huge thank-you to all of the staff members who proctored the PSATs and helped make the morning run smoothly and to all who participated in the volleyball tournament and brought some fun to our day!
Sanborn Seniors in Action Day
Sanborn Seniors in Action is a day dedicated to helping our students build important financial literacy skills while giving back to our school and local community. This year, our financial fair was sponsored by Partners Bank in Kingston. Students began by researching careers, selecting a career path, and learning about potential earnings. They then visited several interactive booths where they put their financial knowledge to the test by making real-world decisions, including whether to buy or lease a car, rent or purchase a home, and determine what they could afford for a phone plan. These hands-on experiences gave students an opportunity to explore the financial responsibilities and decisions they will face as they prepare for life after graduation.
The second part of the morning focused on making a positive impact in our community. Our seniors rolled up their sleeves and participated in a variety of service projects, including campus clean-up, distributing positive notes, writing thank-you cards, painting rocks for our art garden, making blankets for our local nursing home, and decorating Thanksgiving Day boxes.
It was truly amazing to see our seniors so engaged, working together, and finding meaningful ways to make a difference. We are proud of their willingness to learn, serve, and give back to the Sanborn community! What a wonderful way to put financial skills and community spirit into action!
