Possible Make-up Days
With a possibility of our school needing to make up days due to the snow days this winter, I have looked at the calendar and determined that the following days would be scheduled to be used as make up days if needed.
March 31st
April 21st
April 28th
May 5th
These are for reference at this time only, we will only schedule make up days if we go over our limit. Right now we are sitting at one snow day left in the bank before we will have to make up days. If you have any questions, please let me know.

As always, the live stream links for activities are available on the https://www.hshawks.com homepage by clicking on the “NFHS” tab, the link that says “Click here to watch our Live Stream on the NFHS Network!”, or the big red, white, and blue button that says “NFHS Network – Watch Live”(like the image you see attached to this post). The NFHS Network is a subscription based service so you must have a subscription to watch the stream.

Oregon Trail Sewing
Joleen Pieper, Rita Peters, Cheri Johnson, and Marlene Heiting, from the sewing club, came and helped 4th graders hand stitch an Oregon Trail mini quilt. The 4th graders loved learning to sew but they didn’t really want to do a whole quilt by hand.

Girls On The Run
3rd-5th Grade Girls – Please let us know if you are interested in restarting the Girls on the Run program here at Hay Springs!
It runs from mid-March-May with a celebration 5K for all panhandle teams in Chadron in May. This program promotes healthy habits through exercise, social emotional well being, and building friendships. The team meets twice a week after school (we would work around youth volleyball schedules during April). There is some running but it is so much more than that and it is worked into games and activities!
3rd-5th grade parents, please contact Mrs. Heiting ASAP if your daughter is interested so we can get things set up!
China Presentation
On Monday, January 23rd, Bev Wellnitz was at Hay Springs Elementary to give our students a presentation about China. Accompanying Mrs. Wellnitz as an observer was Mrs. Jeanie Snyder, who taught for 28 years before retiring. Bev read the kids a book about China, passed around some chopsticks for the kids to look at, and spoke about the Chinese zodiac. Each year of the 12 year Chinese Zodiac cycle is represented by a certain animal and many Chinese believe that a person’s personality traits are determined by that animal. The students also learned about the Chinese New Year which is on January 22nd and how this year is the year of the rabbit. Several short videos were shown to the kids as well, the first about “pinyin”, the art of paper cutting. The second video was about how about silk material is produced from silkworm cocoons. The last video was about Chinese shadow art or shadow puppetry. And what presentation about China would be complete without forturne cookies for the audience? Thank you Mrs. Wellnitz and Mrs. Snyder!
