Student council is going to try something different this year. Instead of traditional karaoke, students will submit anonymous karaoke videos and then students will vote for a winner for each grade to receive a $20 gift card of their choice. The four winners will be entered into an overall contest and that class will win $50.
To participate, students must email their video (without a name, face, identifying information) to Mrs. White (ewhite@sanford.org) and Ms. English (henglish@sanford.org) by 2:00 pm on Wednesday, March 31. You must identify your name and grade so that we can keep track but other students will not see this information. Winners will be announced and revealed at a later date.

Random Fact of the Day: The meal that became a St. Patrick’s Day staple across the country—corned beef and cabbage—was an American innovation. While ham and cabbage were eaten in Ireland, corned beef offered a cheaper substitute for impoverished immigrants.
Life Hacks from your school nurse: Giving a presentation? Have a bottle of water by your side. Not just to clear your throat if you need to, but more importantly when you can't remember what to say. Just take a sip of water. Nobody will know the difference.
