First Semester

On October 16, SBA’s FFA chapter held a
banquet to present awards from last year
and to install new officers. COVID prevent-
ed the banquet from being held at the end
of the last school year. Marv Post, chair-
man of the South Dakota Dairy Producers
Association and grandfather of two SBA
FFA members (Sydney Triebwasser, ‘20,
and Nolan Triebwasser, ‘23)was the guest
speaker.

Also on October 16, SBA’s K-6 students,
who are studying anatomy this year, had
the opportunity to hear from Abby Haiar,
a radiologic technologist at Avera Hand
County Memorial Hospital. She brought
x-rays for the students to get an inside
look at bones and to learn more about
how the human body is fearfully and won-
derfully made!

On October 20, members of the Miller
Volunteer Fire Department visited SBA
to go over fire safety precautions with
the elementary students.

On October 22, students in grades 7-12
went to Pierre for Buddy Bowling. This
annual event is planned by the Student
Council. Eighth-grader Jimmy Burma had
the high score of the evening! Senior Ai-

Math manipulatives are helpful in under-
standing math concepts...and they are

On November 20, Mrs. Seaman’s junior
high math class was learning about ratio
and rates. Students took a timed multipli-
cation test, then used Chex Mix, Skittles
and M&Ms to find ratio. Math never tasted
so good! Pictured is eighth grader Nata-

The annual fall Spiritual Life Emphasis
Week was held November 16-20. Dave
Johnston of Triple R Ranch (formerly
Moreau River Sanctuary) was the speaker
for the week’s seven sessions.

Mr. Watson’s Government class had the
opportunity to Zoom with Congressman
Dusty Johnson on December 15. Students
asked him a wide variety of questions
about politics and government service.

Annual Auction
The annual auction at SBA is as
much a homecoming and social
gathering as it is a fundrais-
er, and given that it is the school’s

single-largest fundraiser, that says

something about the amount of fun and

social interaction the auction brings!

Accordingly, making the decision to do

the auction completely online was not

an easy one. The school board did not

want the school to host an event that

would possibly spread COVID, but not

having the auction was not a possi-

bility. Social distancing at the auction

would be tough--but what if it was held

and hardly anyone decided to come?

Doing it online eliminated the COVID

risks, but could it be done well and on

time? Would people participate? All of

these factors were weighed and it was

decided that the wisest course of action

would be to do an online auction.

Heidi Seaman accepted the chal-

lenge and got to work. A house on cam-

pus was converted to the “auction ware-

house” and items were photographed,

catalogued and, later prepared for

pick up or shipment. In the end, there

were four different elements of the

auction--a small, introductory online

auction that was scheduled even if the

live event was held, a live silent auction Top: Morgann Leis and Clayton Keck of

SBA Foundation David Paul

Education is a wonderful tool
to have as we live our lives: study
hard; pass the final exams; attend
graduation ceremonies; throw your
mortarboard in the air and you have
it! Go now, live your life. My gener-
ation, 80+, now finds that there is a
flaw in this thought. It seems that if
we haven’t stayed with the studies
and passed the seemingly endless exams, we find ourselves once again an
infant (early stage of development)

Here is an example: This year’s SBA auction is online and I am told
that I must pre-register to bid. I very carefully fill out the registration form
on the auction web page. Wife Janet records the password and username
on today’s date on our calendar. (She does this immediately before our
minds go blank). By now, auction time is very close. Click on login, type
in username and password. Instantly a little window jumps on screen---

username/password “incorrect.”
One witty soul of my generation
has told me that I should use
“incorrect” as my username. My
generation has learned to be
resourceful. I call daughter-in-law
Becky to ask her to bid for me.

Example #2: There is a
funeral online that we really want
to attend. Janet is successful in
bringing up the funeral service
on her phone. Whoops, it dis-
appears, not to be found again.
Now on the laptop, we begin
opening every page of the funeral home. Finally the page that includes
Facebook Youtube takes us to the service. We arrive late; the service is
mostly over. But no, that’s the way it used to be when we got in our car
and drove to a funeral service. If we arrived late, we were late. Today’s
world has us click on the line at the bottom of the Youtube screen. Push the
button to the left and you have pushed back the clock to the beginning of
the service. You are no longer late; you are right on time. This can be a
useful tool to add to your knowledge. But can this tool for turning back

time transfer from Youtube to a characteristic of how we people think we
can live our lives? The next time we find ourselves ashamed of what we
have said or done, do we just push the button to the left and we can re-
verse our actions? No! The knowledge tools needed to cover our shameful
acts must be learned in our youth and practiced for as long as we live: To
apologize, to ask forgiveness and to forgive. And the list goes on of those
tools that are constantly needed to repair our nature.

Sunshine Bible Academy has, for more than 60 years, taught a me-
chanics course in how to use these tools: God’s Truth for Today’s Youth. A
gift invested in the SBA Foundation will support the teaching of this knowl-
edge at Sunshine for your next generation; and for those that come after.

The Value of Planned Giving

Sometimes making a gift to SBA requires careful planning. It may
involve identifying the right asset to give, the best timing for the gift
and how to maximize the gift while minimizing taxes. It may even be
possible to establish a future gift, while providing income to you or a
loved one!

A trusted advisor will prove helpful as you sort through the options.
SBA partners with MB Foundation as well as several South Dakota
attorneys to provide you with the expertise to coordinate and facilitate
your charitable objectives.

Please contact Sunshine Bible Academy at 605.853.3071 or by email
at [email protected] for information regarding these services.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and
running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be
measured to you. ~ Luke 6:38
