Senior Spotlight : Haley Herrmann
An Article by Principal Brian M. Stack With Contributions From Several Staff Members
Mr. Stack's Note: Each week I like to "spotlight" one senior student who makes contributions to our school community both in and out of the classroom. Students who will be spotlighted are interviewed in advance and staff members contribute to each article.
 One of our school's core values is risk-taking (it is the "R" in PRIDE). Risk-taking involving a student's willingness to step outside of their comfort zone in order to get ahead or learn something new. During her freshman year at Sanborn, This now Sanborn senior took one of the biggest risks of her life. She made the decision to get on a plane and travel to a foreign country to spend a year of her life abroad. For Haley, it was a game-changer in her life.
Haley was first inspired to study abroad after hearing about a similar experience her Spanish 1 teacher Ms. Miller had when she was younger. With just a year of Spanish under her belt and the support of her family, Haley applied for and was accepted into a competitive high school study abroad program. She spent a year living with a family in Spain, attending school and experiencing all life has to offer for a fifteen year old teenager. To this day, Haley believes it was one of the best things she could have done as it has made her a more ambitious, outgoing, and culturally diverse student at Sanborn.
Haley is a superstar both in and out of the classroom. Her teachers describe her as organized, dedicated, and always looking to do her best. Technology teacher Kate Krumm added this about Haley:
Haley is one of those students that is just a joy to have in the classroom. She is willing to go the extra mile for herself as well as help those around her that need it. Haley has impressed me with her maturity and spunk! She is a world traveler and always has her suitcase open and half packed just in case she has the opportunity to go somewhere. She is like that with academics as well. Haley is very thoughtful and deliberate in what she does and the houses she plans in CAD. She puts such thought into how people, not just a teenager, would use the space. She is just impressive!
Outside of the classroom, Haley is involved in a variety of school activities including soccer, winter and spring track, Key Club, Spanish National Honor Society, and National Honor Society. She also works part time at What's the Scoop?, a local ice cream stand.
After high school, Haley's dream is to study civil engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. She has aspirations to focus on international relations and/or environmental studies, and isn't ruling out the possibility of working with the Peace Corps. With her drive and determination, we know this Sanborn senior will continue to be in the spotlight in the future!

October Staff Members of the Month
Congratulations to Ken Jacobs and Rick Theriault!
Each month, Sanborn Regional High School recognizes two staff members for its Staff Member of the Month Award for their professionalism and commitment to the students of our school. Congratulations to the following two staff members for their efforts!
Rick Theriault
 Known to students simply as "Rick," Rick Theriault serves as our school's safety officer. As a retired Lieutenant of the Kingston Police Department, Rick has a wealth of experience that he brings to the job each day. He helps our school community of roughly 1000 adults and students be safe. Rick can often be found in the halls, the parking lot, or around the campus of our school at all hours of the day. He also serves as a co-advisor for the school's Key Club. Additionally, Rick teaches Driver Education classes to our students after school. He has earned the admiration and respect of students and staff alike for his continued dedication to our school.
Ken Jacobs
 Ken Jacobs is a Chemistry and Astronomy teacher at our school. He is also a teacher team leader. Mr. Jacobs always goes the extra mile to make sure he is incorporating cutting edge advanced science in his classes. Over the last couple of years he has established a great working partnership for our school with MIT's Haystack Observatory in Westford MA. He has recently revamped his entire AP Chemistry program. Last week he hosted a Sunday night lunar eclipse viewing party at the school for his students and their families. He has also taken the lead on our school's efforts to develop PACE assessments for science. Mr. Jacob's enthusiasm and love for science is apparent in all that he does, and we are lucky to have him on our staff to share his skills with our students.

Leadership in the Sophomore Experience
An Article by English Teacher Aaron Cass
 Our sophomores arrive to us full of grit, excited to finally not to be the youngest kids in the school. As teachers on the Sophomore Experience team, we use the 10th grade year to equip students with the skills they'll need to go on and lead the school when they become upperclassmen.
To get the ball rolling, we started this year with a weeklong series of advisory activities in which kids untied knots, tiptoed over ice, navigated rocky waters and faced off against invisible mazes. Lots of fun, but imbedded in each of these activities were opportunities for students to identify, develop and reflect on what it means to be leaders and how to work together as a team.
On the last day, students debriefed on what they learned. Having read about the
15 traits of successful leaders
, students took time to point out positive qualities they observed in their peers. One student said, "I saw Marissa helping the group to stay focused." Another noted, "Lizzie did a great job planning where everyone goes on the iceberg to help us survive. She tackled problems and came up with solutions."
Using this week of activities as our foundation we will continue to revisit this theme throughout the year, encouraging students to practice and demonstrate their leadership skills in the classroom. From there, we leave it up to them to boldly lead Sanborn into the future.

A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented to this scholastically talented senior at the school's Academic Awards Evening on Tuesday, September 22, 2015.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.

"The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation.
