School Supply Drive
Hay Springs National Honor Society is looking for school supplies for a school supply drive. Donations of new school supplies will be accepted through September 3rd. Please drop off supplies at the Hay Springs school office. You can also contact any NHS member or the NHS sponsor, Heidi Beguin, at 308-360-1372.
Due to lack of pre-registered kids, the FBLA sponsored Kids Night In, Parents Night Out has been canceled for the 2019 Friendly Festival.
The Hay Springs Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) booster club is preparing for another school year. The mission of FCA is to present to athletes and coaches and all whom they influence the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church.
The booster club has set up a tentative date to start up the huddle.
You will also see us serving in concession stands or serving meals at games. The use of these funds is to help pay for Hay Springs student athletes to attend summer camps. With generous donations we helped send 10 student athletes from Hay Springs and 2 from Gordon-Rushville this past summer to attend FCA camp in Spearfish, SD.
We would also like to recognize the wonderful coaches and athletic director who devote their time, talents and service to our athletes. Thank you for all that you do!
If anyone has any questions in regards to FCA or wants to become involved please don’t hesitate to give me a call at (308)320-4445.
God Bless,
Jim Varvel

Students arrived to see a few changes in the Library this month. Not a lot, just enough to make the new year different.
The fifth grade helped to set up a display of pictures and books about the Moon Landing which occurred 50 years ago on July 16, 1969. To them it is “old” history, but to many of us, including me, it is one of those memories you always remember. After locating books on the space program, astronauts, and the moon, we talked about some of the books in the display. Stop by and check it out when you are at the school. Watch for more information displays as the year goes on.
All the students are getting acquainted with the books, new and old. More than 100 new books have been added to the collection with some more to come. — Mrs. Matthews
