On Friday, March 28, the Hay Springs Junior High Quiz Bowl team traveled to Chadron to compete in the Chadron Middle School Invitational. A team primarily composed of 7th graders competed in the 8th-grade division and performed admirably.

The Hawks won two out of three matches, securing a 6th-place finish out of 12 teams. Notably, they scored the most points among schools with similar enrollments. One of the highlights of the meet was their victory over host Chadron, which went on to place 2nd overall.

The Hawks represented themselves well and should be proud of their performance!

Hay Springs had two teams compete in the Western Division of the Nebraska Personal Finance Challenge sponsored by the Nebraska Council on Economic Education. The first round is a test of 30 questions and students have 30 minutes to complete the test.

The Hay Springs team consisting of Lilly Dorshorst, Jaelyn Rasmussen, Dylan Raymer, and Talan Smith completed this year. The students ranked seventh in the western region and twenty-second in the entire state. There were a total of 202 teams in the High School division: 45 in Lincoln, 56 in Omaha, and 101 in Western Nebraska.

The 2nd Hay Springs team consisting of Rori Ashley, Josie Kelly, Kaylee Kaiser, and Dylan Young also competed this year. The students in this team ranked sixty-second in the western region and 142nd in the entire state.

In appreciation for the support of our community, the students at HSH would like to “give back” to Hay Springs! We are seeking businesses, groups, organizations, and even the elderly who are in need of help. Teacher supervised groups of students are willing to wash windows, stock shelves, clean shops, rake lawns, and paint walls. We are willing to assist in any way needed.

Our “Give Back to the Community Day” is scheduled for April 24, 2024, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. In the event of inclement weather, there will not be an alternate date. If you would like to be added to our list or have any questions, please call the high school office at (308) 638-4434.

Thanks to our community for all your support!
