The 2013 Hay Springs Hawks football team kicked off with a win against the Morrill Lions. The raging lions came out and were tamed. The Hawks won the game 44-8.

The Hawks got off to a fast start putting up 38 points on the first half. The Lions remained scoreless until the end of the third quarter. Stevin Horrocks and Jordan Houser combined for over 200 yards in the first half. Even starting center Riley Abbot scored on a recovered fumble. The second team was also very successful only allowing the Lions to score once.

The Hawks won the game 44-8 and are now preparing for their next game at Rapid City Christian on September 6th at 7:00.

music - notes1Has your child ever thought they wanted to play the guitar?  If so, now may be the opportunity they have been looking for.

Hay Springs Public Schools, in collaboration with Sandy Ferrel, and Chadron State College will be offering group guitar lessons free of charge this school year.  Elementary (grades 3-5) classes will be offered after school on Thursdays and Middle School/High School classes will be offered before school on Wednesdays.

A parent/student organizational meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 10th after school in the Elementary School Library.  This will determine student interest and answer questions you may have.

Guitar Rental:  Haggerty’s in Rapid City will rent guitars with cases for $50 for a three-month trial period.  If the student decides to purchase the instrument, the rental will apply to the cost of the guitar, which is approximately $200.

For additional information contact Sandy Ferrel or call the school at (308) 638-4434.

music notes1We are NOT doing practice records this year!  Yes, you heard right, NO PRACTICE RECORDS!  Instead I am implementing a program called “Band Ninja.”  This is an opportunity for students to earn different levels of “belts” (really they are ribbons) that they will tie around their instrument as badges of honor.  Any 6th-8th grade student has a copy of the requirements to earn belts.  If they earn all belts they will have the opportunity to become a “band ninja.” We already have white belt players and several who are now attempting their yellow belt!

We have a new opportunity offered this year called the “After School Band Club (ASBC). ” Mrs. Mikaila Reimer or myslef will be in the music room from 4:15-5:00 Monday-Wednesday for ANY student who is struggling or who wishes to earn a belt for the “band ninja” program.  Of course those overachievers who are pages ahead of the rest of us are also be welcome if they come across something they don’t understand.  We have a few weeks under our belt and have found it to be a huge success!  It’s so encouraging to see the band room filled with 6-10 students every night either looking for help or trying to earn a belt!

The high school band is planning a trip in May of 2014 to Kansas City.  This trip will be at the cost of each student.  We will continue to fundraise, right now we are signed up to do several concession stands this fall-only students who help in the concession stand will receive a portion of the proceeds.  Students can make payments into their accounts held here at the school. Deposits can be turned into Mrs. Varvel.  The trip is projected to cost less than $500 a student; I highly recommend that students try to save or fundraise $200 a quarter. Students who began fund raising last year and/or made payments over the summer have been given a copy of what they currently have in their account.  Stay tuned for more details!
