Pollinator Garden

By Hawks Webmaster | February 3, 2020 - 12:32 pm |February 3, 2020 Community, Elementary

Comments Off

Back in November, we made a post talking about the 4th grade pollinator garden(https://hshawks.com/2019/11/20/4th-grade-spotlight/). Many of you mentioned that perhaps you would be able to donate some plants or flowers after “spring cleaning” your own flower gardens. The following message is from Mrs. Meeks(the 4th grade teacher):

My class is looking for donations from the community when they clean up their gardens this spring. We are working on a beautification of our school as well as making the front of our school a neat path for enjoying the outdoors. We are looking for all sorts of flowers that are good pollinators. Some for early spring, summer, and fall flowers. BUT we are also going to grow some flowers. IF we could find out who is willing to donate some extra flowers our way as well as what kind of flowers they are it would really help us plan our garden.
Thank you
Mrs. Meeks

Please call or email the school(hawk.contact@hshawks.com) if you would like to donate!

Sharks on the Plains?

Hay Springs Elementary students spent the last hour of school Thursday afternoon watching “Sharks on the Plains? America Under the Sea”. It was a virtual field trip with the University of Nebraska State Museum of Natural History and Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium that was streamed into the auditorium for everyone to watch!

Dive into life in the sea – both ancient and modern – right here on Nebraska’s great plains. Join us on a virtual trip to both the Scott Aquarium at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium and the Mesozoic fossil gallery at Morril Hall. We will explore marine life, habitats, and adaptations. And can you see sharks on the plains? You better believe it!
