To the community and Security First Bank Employees:

“I so appreciate the goodies bought through the Tree of Love!” — Ms. Paula Holtmeier

“This year’s Tree of Love provided my class with a ton of lined college ruled paper and plenty of mechanical pencils to go around. It makes such a difference when students tell me they don’t have any paper or a pencil to use. I appreciate the Tree of Love so much! Thank you.” — Mrs. Heidi Beguin

“Thank you so much to the Tree of Love. You are all amazing and so appreciated! I feel so blessed to live in a community that takes care of their school and is so generous buying us supplies. WE LOVE you Hay Springs Community!!” — Ms. Meeks and her 4th Graders

“Thank you so much for all the classroom materials! I appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity! These materials help myself and the students who use them to learn and grow!” — Mrs. Nichole Marcy

“Thank you for your generous donation of a gift card to the library!! This will be great to get some posters and bulletin board materials to display some new content to the students on our new bulletin boards! I appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness!”

“I would really like to give a BIG THANKS for the laundry basket of goodies I got for PE! Thank you so much, it is very much appreciated!” — Mrs. Rachel Mandelko

“Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tree of love project. It means so very much to be cared for!” — Mrs. Raime Varvel

“Thank you so much for the Tree of Love donations to my 5th grade classroom. Your donation ensures my students have the materials they need to be successful. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness, generosity, and dedication to our community. Thank you.” — Mrs. Jessie Anderson

“Thank you to the community member who donated cars, seaweed chips, poprocks and ping pong balls to the kindergarten. We have enjoyed learning through our senses. Your donation helps to expand our classroom experiences.” — Mrs. Jessica Mintken

“Hay Springs is truly a remarkable little community. Each year there is a tree of love downtown at the bank and community members can support local teachers by purchasing supplies from the teacher wish list they create.”

“Thank you Hay Springs community and Security First Bank for supporting such a special and unique tradition each year! We truly appreciate it!” — Mrs. Crystal VanderMay

“Security First Staff and Community, thank you so very much for the office supplies and coloring books for our students. I want all of you to know that your generous support is greatly appreciated.” — Mr. Mark Hagge

September Student of the Month

Comments Off on September Student of the Month

“Braydon has been an excellent leader for our FFA Chapter over the entire summer and in particular with the “Kelly Fundraiser”. He has also taken a great leadership role as we have begun the school year in encouraging new and younger members to become active in the FFA. He demonstrated that leadership in the development of our FFA float for “Friendly Festival” and the petting zoo. He was also instrumental in organizing and running the concession stand for the first Football and Volleyball games. He is a very caring and encouraging individual and one of the best FFA officers I have had in my 30 years as an Ag Teacher. He is very passionate about FFA and works tirelessly to encourage others to be involved. Braydon is very deserving of this honor.”

“Braydon has demonstrated hard work, personal accountability, teamwork, and dedication to not just the FFA but to the school in general. He is always volunteering himself to help out when needed and is a valued asset to the school.”

“Braydon has grown into such a great student and leader. It’s been fun to watch him mature and take on bigger and bigger challenges, while also keeping up with his classwork. Braydon brings a fun bit of humor into my class whether he’s debating about the value of adding juice to the lunch program(he really misses it!), providing instrumental moments (ask him – he has lots of tunes in his head), and working to persuade his junior class that they should be going by the name of Pancake Club. Braydon is a great young man who fully deserves the honor of Student of the Month!”

“Braydon Binger is a great young man. He is not much of a talker (unless you ask his 4th grade teacher) but when he says something he has quick wit and always makes me laugh. He works hard on community projects and is very good to his friends and family. Braydon is an exceptional young man!”

The PBIS team is doing a “PINK OUT” fundraiser. Our pink out games will be October 14th at the VB and FB games vs. Sioux County.

*Notice pink shirts are very hard to come by right now so we have opted for black with pink writing in hopes that everyone will get the same thing and youth will be able to order.

Thank you to the community member who bought us seaweed, pop rocks and cars. This week we used our senses and decided that seaweed is gross, and pop rocks make noise in our mouth. We have also enjoyed tracing our letters with the cars. It is truly a blessing to teach in such a great community.
