Christmas Caroling, December 23rd

On Tuesday, December 23rd, at 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. the 6th -12th Graders have an option to go caroling. If you are ineligible, you will be staying at school with Mrs. Houser to work on homework. We have organized to take a team of horses and a wagon to go around the north side of town. We will go the nursing home, then start on North Gibson St. zig-zagging our way up and down the streets of Hay Springs. We will be stopping at the nursing home, Security First Bank, & Sunset Heights. There are 15 to 20 Christmas songs that most people know. Hope you can partake in this wonderful event to get you into the Christmas spirit.
