It’s Halloween and the elementary ghosts and goblins roamed the hallways of Hay Springs High School collecting goodies from staff! There were lots of fun and interesting costumes this year. Thank you for visiting us, elementary students, and have a Happy Halloween!
On Monday, the first day of Red Ribbon Week, Sargent Tausan from the Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office came and talked to our K-5 grade about being drug and alcohol free. Thank you Sargent Tausan!
On Wednesday, October 18, Hay Springs Public Schools celebrated Unity Day and wore the color orange to show support for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. In addition to that, students participated in making an orange paper chain that was hung in the cafeteria.
Last week was Fire Prevention Week and HSPS PK-5th grade students headed down to the fire hall to learn about fire safety.
Student Council Members presented the kindergarten class with fruit smile snacks after they were announced the winners of the door decorating contest which was a part of homecoming week. Congratulations kindergarten, you guys rock!
Last Thursday evening, HSPS students were able to enjoy a tradition that had been canceled in recent years due to dry conditions. It was the burning of the “H” for homecoming! In addition to that, a new event was added this year as well. Students were able to take out any frustrations they might have had by taking swings at an old car. The car smash was a fundraising event for the student council.
Wednesday is Parent Day! Today, students were to dress like a parent and bring a non-living item to school. They were then to treat it as their child. As you can see from the pictures, we had some very creative “parents”!
The 2023 Hay Springs Public School Homecoming Royalty were crowned this afternoon in the auditorium. The 2023 Homecoming Royalty are Queen Gabrielle Twarling and King Mason Marcy! Congratulations to 2nd Runners up Ava McKillip and Jordyn Anderson and 1st Runners up Alexa Tonjes and Gage Mintken. It was a very, very close race!
On October 2nd, National Custodial Worker’s Recognition Day encourages appreciation to the employees who keep our schools and workplaces across the nation running smoothly. Custodial workers operate behind the scenes. They are often under-appreciated for the hard work they do day after day, too. These are the personnel keeping schools, hospitals, office buildings, museums, churches, and other buildings clean and well maintained. Thank you Ricky, Nate, and Malinda!
