Great news! The Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) has approved our 6th-grade girls to participate in games!
We will hold a parent/athlete meeting for any 6th graders who did not attend the meeting this fall. The meeting will take place Monday October 26th at 4:00 p.m. in Mrs. Marcy’s room. We will also watch the required concussion video at that time. Please make sure both a parent and athlete are in attendance.
Any 6th grader wanting to participate in sports must have a current physical.
💚💛 A little Hawk clarification! 💛💚
We’ve loved seeing the excitement, and the memories, shared about our Hawk mascot!
To clarify, Hay Springs did not get a new mascot. We are, and will continue to be, the Hay Springs Hawks! We simply received a new Hawk mascot suit, generously donated by Security First Bank. Our former Hawk suit isn’t disappearing either; it will be donated to our local museum, where this piece of Hay Springs history can be preserved and enjoyed for years to come.
When we announced the naming contest, the intent was simply to create a fun opportunity for our current students to have some ownership and excitement surrounding the new suit. It certainly wasn’t intended to erase or replace any Hay Springs traditions. And we’ve learned something through all of your comments: Henry clearly has a special place in Hawk history!
We appreciate our alumni and longtime community members sharing that history with those of us, and with some of our students, who may not have known it.
We’ll take that history into consideration as we move forward with the contest. After all, this is exactly what makes school traditions special: connecting generations of Hawks: past, present, and future.
In the famous words of our pledge-leader today, have a Hawk-mazing day!
On Monday, October 19th the 1st and 2nd grade classes went to Pioneer Manor nursing home and performed their fall program BINGO for the residents. If you’d like to see their encore performance please join us in the auditorium on Thursday, October 22nd at 3:15pm.
The kindergarten will also perform their program called Elephants Story at the same program.
