International Dot Day
The first grade celebrated International Dot Day on Monday, September 15th, the kindergarten on Tuesday, September 16th. International Dot Day was started by a teacher in Iowa in honor of the book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. We watched a video interview with the author describing how he was inspired to write the book. Then he read the book. Mr. Reynolds dedicated the book to his 7th grade math teacher who dared him to “make his mark.” You can watch the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKKVDaHiM4E
After hearing the book each student made his own “dot” using a special page from http://www.thedotclub.org/ and Colormix. When viewed with a special app the flat pictures become three-dimensional. You can get the app from Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. Check out http://www.colarapp.com/ for coloring pages.
Here are a few of the finished “dots.”

Hawks Hopes of Going Undefeated Is Now A Lost Thought
The Hay Springs Hawks had hoped to make this year an unforgettable one by going undefeated in the regular season. Last Thursday night the Hawks faced the Hemingford Bobcats quickly killing that dream as they went 3-1.
The Hawks had come out early hitting hard, but the Bobcats didn’t back down. They stopped the Hawk’s run game almost completely, ending with ZERO rushing yards. Their passing game wasn’t much better, with 4 completed passes and threw 3 interceptions
The Bobcats didn’t put their second team in until the middle of the third quarter. The Hawks quickly jumped on that and put up 16 points late in the third. The Bobcats wouldn’t have that though. They put in the first team again until late in the fourth, when the Hawks put their second team in against Hemingford’s second team. The score was 62 to 16 but Hemingford decided to pound the ball in on the 3-yard line, making the score 70 to 16. With four seconds left Chris Ray returned the ball making the final score 70-22.
Next Thursday night Hay Springs face off against the Leyton Warriors. Kick off time is 7 pm. Leyton is the top district rival for this years’ Hawk’s football system.
