As many of you know, the Sanborn Central School District has been utilizing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) as our reinforcement system this year. Every week tickets are passed out to students who are representing and showing Blackhawk PRIDE (Positive, Respectful, Integrity, Dedication, and Excellence). At the end of every week, four students and a staff member are chosen as Blackhawk PRIDE winners. In an effort to celebrate the success of ALL students at Sanborn Central, we will be hosting a PBIS end-of-the-quarter party on Thursday, October 19. As long as weather cooperates, we will be outside doing various activities (bean bags, popsicles, and more) to celebrate all of our students who have shown Blackhawk PRIDE in various ways throughout the quarter! Thank you for your continued support.
