As you may already know based on yesterday’s post, we postponed our Elders’ Wisdom program that was scheduled for Thursday, March 9th at 6:00 PM due to the blizzard-like weather that was being forecast. Last fall at the beginning of the school year, we had set both the date of the program and the alternate date in case of bad weather. However, it has come to our attention that the alternate date we had picked caused a scheduling conflict. Therefore, we have now chosen a new alternate date to alleviate that problem. The Hay Springs Public School 2023 Elders’ Wisdom Program will now be held on Thursday, April 20th, 2023 at 6:00 PM in the high school auditorium. Please add this date to your calendars and we apologize for any confusion our previous message may have caused. We look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you to the community member who bought the 4th graders pool noodles. We have enjoyed desk drumming as a brain break this year.
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.
Hay Springs Public Schools will be taking part in Strategic Planning this year, similar to what our district did last year. We are partnering with the Nebraska School Boards Association again this year and will be sending out surveys to the parents whose email addresses that we have on file. We ask you to take the survey and share your view point on all aspects of our district.
Employees, Board Members, Parents and Students (5-12) will be provided the opportunity to take the survey starting on January 23rd. The school district will utilize the feedback from the surveys to set goals to keep improving the educational process and experience for our students. Names of those who take the survey will not be shared with the school.
Thank you for your support of Hay Springs Schools, and thank you for giving us your perspectives on how we are doing. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
George Clear
