The Sandhills Public School students presented a program titled "We Salute Our Veterans" held Wednesday afternoon November 11th in the Halsey Elementary gym.
The event began with the Kindergarten through 6th grade actively presenting the National Emblem March. The audience was then invited to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.
Mrs. Webster welcomed all and introduced the Boy's and Girl's State representatives for Blaine County, Thatcher Teahon and Cora Martindale.
Both gave well prepared speeches about their activities while in Lincoln last summer.
Buffalo Bells Quilters members Vickie Webb and Libby Burk explained the reasons for the handmade Quilts of Valor. Are ranchers Travis Collier of Dunning, Thayne Rodocker of Halsey and Blake Thompson from Dunning each received a quilt for their years of military service. The senior Sandhills High School class of six members gave recognition to each recipient with a slide show.
The program continued with "American Service Songs" performed by the Kindergarten through 6th grade.
Following the program, the senior class served a Canteen Socal.

Metal Fabrication students are looking for projects! Ideal projects would be where there needs to minor repair, painting, welding, or small "new" builds. Owner of item must provide materials and plan for what they want. Please reach out to Mrs. Smith at the school if you have a project that these students could help you with! Attached are before and after photos of an ATV trailer where students repaired welds, replaced floor, added bracing, rewired lights and painted!
Good Luck to our JH Wrestlers!

The 6th Grade Seasoning Fundraiser is LIVE!
This year, it is completely digital! This means that you can order anytime, anywhere! However, it still ships directly to the school, so make sure you are able to be in contact with the student you order from to arrange pickup/delivery of your purchase.
I have attached the flyer full of information below! Please feel free to browse now and order later (the products we are selling this year are on the second page of the flyer!) There is also a donation link on the website if you prefer to just go that route.
Each student has their own link and QR code; this means that each student has their own "store," and it keeps track of each student's sales! I still want to stress that I prefer the students to ask you, but I do not want you to miss out in case you accidentally get overlooked!
Final note: The fundraiser ends at 11:59 PM on Sunday, November 15th. You will not be able to order after that time!
Thank you all for your support in helping make the kids' 6th Grade trip a success!
Good Luck, STK!
Good Luck, Lady Knights!!
