THE GREAT PIZZA & HOT COCOA WAR – FINAL WEEK!

The battlefield is set… the stakes are high… the cheese is melty.

Scores so far:

  • Elementary: $67.68 (slightly over-caffeinated but determined)
  • Middle School: $47.76 (strategically plotting with math skills)
  • High School: $20 (the underdogs, fueled by hope and leftover lunchables)

Only ONE WEEK left! Who will rise victorious and claim the ultimate prize: ALL THE PIZZA & A HOT COCOA BAR

Rumor has it the 7th graders have recruited a secret weapon: extra cheese. Will Elementary’s stealth tactics win the day? Can High School pull a last-minute comeback using advanced eye-roll strategy?

Remember: even in the heat of battle, it’s for a good cause… because nothing says “holiday spirit” like donating AND devouring pizza.

Choose your side… the war is real.

Hay Springs School will be hosting a Public Forum on Monday, October 20th at 6:30 p.m. in the Hay Springs Auditorium.

All community members, parents, and stakeholders are invited to attend.
We will be addressing the following topics:

25-26 tax rate
Curriculum updates
Student counts
Investments/upgrades in the school
Calendar

There will be a question and answer session at the end. Please feel free to bring your questions.

Operational Norms
While we will be discussing school finance, facilities, academics- this forum will not be an appropriate venue to discuss specific concerns with individual teachers, students or coaches. I encourage you to bring any of those types of concerns up with the appropriate staff member or administrator.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact George Clear at 638-4434.
