“Congratulations on Luis’s selection as Student of the Quarter. He is deserving of this honor. Luis has a fun personality and is a joy to have in class. His sense of humor lifts everyone’s mood. He cares about his peers and is always willing to help. I have seen him helping out in the elementary classes, and I know those young Hawks love him. Again, big congrats goes out to Louie.”

“I enjoy having Luis in class and how he always has a positive attitude. He works hard and will always lend a hand to help others, even if that means he may not get his own work done right away. His willingness to help others in and outside the classroom creates a positive environment that benefits everyone. Luis is a great student, but he’s an even better role model and I look forward to seeing him continue to grow and inspire others.”

“This is the first year I have ever had a student aide. It has turned out to be the best thing ever to see this high school student interact with younger students!! It also reminds us all how much younger students look up to our high school student athletes. If Mr. Luis is not in class, all the students are very concerned and want to know where he is. These K-3 students look forward to seeing and playing with him every day in PE. Mr. Luis has no problem ever jumping into being a partner with any student, playing a game, or just plain being a great help. I am very proud to say he is my student aide and deserves this award!!! Congratulations MR. LUIS!!!!”

“Luis is a great young man! He is super with the Kindergarten. Always kind and patient. The kids really look up to him. I also want to comment on what a great athlete he is. My entire family enjoys watching him on the football field. He really puts his heart into it! Congratulations Luis on being student of the quarter!!!”

“Luis is so good with the Kindergarten students when he is helping with Mrs. Mandelko’s class. I love his patience and infectious enthusiasm. Luis is a fabulous athlete and I know a lot of people recognize this but even better he is a good person. I have seen him make mistakes, own up to them and fix them. I have seen him be a truly outstanding individual.”

“Luis does an amazing job working with our younger students as a teachers aide. The kids love him because he helps them constantly and plays with them on their level.”

“Luis is an amazing kid. He is always trying and willing to help others through the toughest of times. He is always a leader and wants to make everyone feel good. Luis works hard for his academics, he will go the extra mile when needed to make sure his academics are caught up. All around, Luis is a great, respectful student who cares for others and will put others before himself.”

“Luis is a hard working, caring, kind, and humble young man. When he walks into a classroom he will always bring a smile to your face with his humor. He has a bright future ahead of him!”

“Luis is one of the most polite students we have. His respectfulness and attitude will take him far in life. He has stepped into the role of an upper classman so well and has shown a lot of leadership skills that will take him far in life! I am very proud of the man he is becoming!”

“Luis is so deserving of Student of the Quarter. He is always polite, friendly, and smiling. No matter when I see him, he makes a point to say hello. Luis shows good character in the classroom, in the hallway, and on the field. He is a great role model for younger students. Congratulations, Luis!”

“Luis has a sweet smile and shows respect to adults.”

“Luis is a strong-minded student who does his best to be kind to others and I have especially seen it with the younger kiddos. I witnessed Luis in the lunchroom with some of the elementary students and all of them acknowledged him by name and he was sure to talk to them and didn’t brush them off. He knows how to make good decisions and I am proud of the individual he is. Keep on, keepin’ on, Luis!”

Thank you to the Student of the Quarter sponsors!

Hay Springs Elementary 4th graders went to Animals Inside and Out in Chadron. At this engaging presentation, they learned about animal nutrition, digestion, by- products, germination, meat cuts, hearts, and animal needs. It was very neat to feel the heart and the reproductive organs of a cow. Thank you to 4H Extension for this amazing program!

Comments Off on 5th Grade Field Trips

On April 23rd, the fifth graders went to Chadron State Park to release our rainbow trout. We received trout eggs in January and have been busy testing water and making sure the trout fry had a healthy environment to grow in. Unfortunately, when we released the fish into the pond, a few were gobbled up by bigger trout! After we released our fish, we were able to go fishing. A fun time was had by all!

On May 1st, the fifth graders traveled back to Chadron State Park for Conservation Day. There were 9 different stations we attended. Some of our favorites were learning how to use a GPS, playing noxious weeds musical chairs, and shooting off bottle rockets. We also planted trees and learned about echolocation. It was an educational and fun time.
