Because so many patrons of the Sanborn Central School District are always wanting to donate supplies and other items that might be helpful in the classroom and general school environment, a wish list has been created to indicate the things that the teachers and staff at Sanborn Central would appreciate as donations. The donations are tax deductible and, upon request, Sanborn Central will issue a receipt that can be used for such tax purposes.
