Senior Spotlight : Ashlyn Forbes
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.
 We see telling and influential images in journals, magazines and web-paged media all the time. These snapshots, captured through the lens of a camera by an individual, tell us a story about a time, a place, or an individual. Anyone who has captured an image that they treasure knows that it is not easy to get "the perfect shot." Photography is an art form, and it takes someone with creativity and a eye for detail to master the art. Ashlyn is one of the people.
Ashlyn is a Sanborn senior who dreams of becoming a photo journalist. Her love for photography started when she was a freshman at Sanborn having taken her first class in the art at our school. Art teacher Eric Moore described her as a student in his photography program in this way:
Ashlyn has played a vital role in photo class for close to four years, during which time I witnessed her tremendous growth and development. This development came not only in the area of photography and creativity, but in maturity and character as well. Many students show great promise throughout there tenure in the art room but few of them live up to that promise. Ashlyn has done that with a style that is unmistakable and truly her own
.
Ashlyn is a vivacious young woman. She has a unique way at looking at life and shares that vision with others through her work ethic, insight, and sensitivity. Ashlyn is an extremely hard worker and dedicates herself to seeing a project through to its rightful conclusion. She quickly learned to manage her time, work in group situations under strict deadlines, and to recognize the importance of a strong work ethic, persistence, and intellectual integrity. She has long since become one the most valuable members of our advanced photography group, and a role model for her newer classmates.
This fall, Ashlyn plans to attend the San Francisco Institute of Art. There, she will study photo journalism. We have no doubt in the years that will follow, we will all be able to enjoy the art that Ashlyn will create. We wish her the best of luck and look forward to hearing all about her future accomplishments.

April Staff Members of the Month
Congratulations to Mr. Giuliucci and Mr. Czyzowski!
Each month, Sanborn Regional High School recognizes two staff members who have gone above and beyond in their professional role for our school community. This month, we are excited to highlight the work and the contributions of the following individuals:
Mark Giuliucci
 Mark Giuliucci is a Social Studies teacher in our Freshman Learning Community. Most students know him as one of two Global Studies teachers, but he also teaches the Modern Media course, a program that he co-developed with teacher Brian Gray. In addition to his teaching, over the years Mark has served as a teacher team leader, a coach, a club advisor, a mentor, and a friend to many adults and students. He finds time during the day to take school photos, film school events, have visitors observe his class and collaborate with staff from all parts of the building.
For his ongoing efforts, Mark is one of the nominees for the 2016 New Hampshire Teacher of the Year award. He will be in Concord on April 14 as part of an exhibition with the other NH teacher nominees. It is an honor well deserved for "Mr. G" and we hope to see him go far in the process!
Evan Czyzowski
 Evan Czyzowski is an English teacher on our Junior / Senior team. In his nine years at Sanborn he has taught a variety of junior and senior English-related courses including Senior Critical Analysis, Philosophy, and Elections & Current Events. Some of Mr. Czyzowski's classes are at the college-credit level. In addition to his teaching, Mr. Czyzowski is also a co-director for the school's drama club. He has also coordinated a number of international trips over the years for Sanborn students to places far and wide around the globe. Mr. Czyzowski's passion for his subject inspires his students on a daily basis.
Congratulations to Mr. Guliucci and Mr. Czyzowski for being awarded the April Staff Members of the Month!

Seniors: Call For Graduation Event Speakers
A Message From Principal Brian M. Stack
Sanborn Regional High School is looking for students to deliver speeches for three graduation-related events: Scholarship Night, Class Day, and Graduation.
Who is eligible to apply?
All students in the Class of 2016 are encouraged to apply to be a student speaker at one of these events provided the student meets the three qualifications below.
- The student must be in good academic standing and on track to graduate with their class (no failing course grades or IWS grades) throughout the senior year.
- As a role model, the student may not have any major discipline infractions during their senior year (anything Level IV or above according to the student handbook is considered a major infraction) throughout the senior year.
- Have no more than 10 unexcused* absences to school throughout the senior year. *All absences are considered unexcused unless the school has documentation for a medical issue.
What kind of speech is appropriate to submit?
Students are encouraged to submit a speech for consideration at a graduation-related event. When deciding what topic or topics to focus the speech on, students should consider the following question: What key message or messages would I want given to me as a graduate at this ceremony? Although there is no official minimum or maximum length, an ideal speech would be between 500-750 words and would take approximately 5-7 minutes to deliver.
When is the speech due?
Students should send an electronic copy of their speech to Mr. Stack at his email address:
bstack@sau17.org
NO LATER THAN Friday May 6, 2016
What process will be used to select the winning speeches?
After May 6, Mr. Stack will turn over all the speeches to a jury of faculty members who will review them. This committee will select the speeches that have the most appropriate theme or message as semi-finalists. This review will be done blindly (no student names will be attached to the speeches). As part of this review, semi-finalist students may be asked to deliver a live version of their speech to the committee. The committee will identify the strongest public speakers and these students will be named finalists and offered the opportunity to deliver their speech at Scholarship Night, Class Day, or Graduation.
