Girls on the Run registration is now open online
Registration is now open online. The season will begin March 9th and the end of the season 5K will be May 16th in Chadron. We will meet from 4:00-5:15 every Tuesday and Thursday.
“Girls on the Run is a fun and non-competitive after-school program that promotes healthy lifestyles and self-esteem in third through sixth grade girls. An innovative curriculum combines physically active games with lessons on healthy habits, teamwork, self-respect and goal setting while girls train to complete a 5K run/walk”
If you are interested in volunteering to help with this great program please contact Kyli Heiting at kyli.heiting@hshawks.com or 638-4434. We could use volunteer help for our practice 5K, cheering the girls on, and as running buddies for the end of the season 5K.

Elementary Science Night
Hay Springs Elementary collaborated with Chadron State College to host the first annual Family Science Night on November 20th. This fun-filled evening featured a structured environment for families to explore, experiment, and talk about science. Hands-on educational, activities were planned and organized by Chadron State pre-service elementary students for families to investigate different science concepts. Elementary students got their hands dirty making an edible soil profile, observed a chemical reaction while making elephant toothpaste, created a model of the different levels of the ocean, and constructed a marshmallow, straw, and toothpick structure that would survive an earthquake.
Thank you to everyone who helped with and participated in Family Science Night as it takes everyone to make these events a success! It was exciting to see such a great turnout! We hope you all had a great night and that we can make Family Science Night an annual event.
