Today we went on a turkey hunt! We had to solve problems to decode clues. The turkey led us to the cafeteria, Lister, and the office! Mr. Hagge helped us out in the end to find all of the missing turkeys
For all of you “boomers”(like me) who still like to print out a lunch menu and stick it on their refrigerator, Jen has provided us with a menu calendar for December. Thanks Jen!
Thank you to everyone who donated to the Elementary’s School Store Fundraiser. We were completely overwhelmed with the generosity of our community. Students were asked to share the fundraising information with family and friends via email. Anyone wanting to participate in the fundraiser could purchase items, magazines, or make a monetary donation to a specific classroom. Here are a few snapshots of some of the items we were able to purchase for our students to use in our classrooms.
Thanks again, The Elementary Teachers and Students

The Hay Springs One Act team will be participating in the Panhandle Conference One Act competition on Friday, November 20th in Hemingford. Because of Covid-19 restrictions, only judges and coaches will only be allowed to watch the play. Unfortunately, because of copyright laws streaming will not be available. Hay Springs will be performing at 10:00 am. Leave from the school will be at 8:10 am. The team will be returning after receiving their critique. The return time will be around noon.
Due to the increase in positive cases of COVID in our panhandle area and Sheridan County, I want to remind you that we are requiring the wearing of masks PreK – 12th Grade at Hay Springs School. Also remember to monitor your student’s temperature/health and if they are ill keep them home. We continue to encourage students to practice good hand washing and sanitization. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Hagge or Mr. Lechtenberg at the school number 308-638-4434 or my cell at 402-340-0849.
Sincerely,
Mr. Lechtenberg
Dear FFA Parents and Guardians,
It is with great pleasure I invite you to join us on Tuesday evening at the Hay Springs School Auditorium for our chapter Greenhand and Chapter Degree Ceremonies at 7:30 pm. Since we were not able to conduct any of our end of the year activities we will be awarding the Greenhand Degrees to twenty-five chapter members. We will also be recognizing those individual students who received district and state level awards during the 2019-20 school year. We will also be presenting Chapter Degrees to fourteen of our chapter members. We will also be recognizing the officer team that served our chapter last year, in our first year of reinstatement, as well as those individuals that have offered their support over the past year. Our final ceremonies for the evening will be the installation of the 2020-21 Chapter officers.
Due to the risk of COVID, we will be limiting our attendance to only the families of our FFA members. We will however be live streaming this event which hopefully will allow for other supporters of our program to observe these ceremonies. The live stream will be available for viewing at the following address:

-Opening Ceremonies – 2019-20 Officer Team

-2019-20 Award Recognition
-Chapter Degree Ceremonies – 2019-20 Officer Team
