Comments Off on Elders’ Wisdom Program Rescheduled

As you may already know based on yesterday’s post, we postponed our Elders’ Wisdom program that was scheduled for Thursday, March 9th at 6:00 PM due to the blizzard-like weather that was being forecast. Last fall at the beginning of the school year, we had set both the date of the program and the alternate date in case of bad weather. However, it has come to our attention that the alternate date we had picked caused a scheduling conflict. Therefore, we have now chosen a new alternate date to alleviate that problem. The Hay Springs Public School 2023 Elders’ Wisdom Program will now be held on Thursday, April 20th, 2023 at 6:00 PM in the high school auditorium. Please add this date to your calendars and we apologize for any confusion our previous message may have caused. We look forward to seeing you there!

Comments Off on Nepal Presentation

Pranu Pradhan was the guest speaker on Thursday, March 2nd for the cultural presentation at Hay Springs Elementary School. Pranu introduced the students to her husband, son, mom and aunt. Pranu is originally from Kathmandu, Nepal. Some interesting facts that Pranu shared: Nepal’s population is 30.5 million people and the country is similar in size to Arkansas. Popular Nepali foods are rice and curry. She shared examples of the Nepali alphabet, numbers, and common phrases. The Nepal Flag is triangular to represent Mt. Everest. She showed the students some Nepali currency. One Nepalese Rupee is equal to .0076 US dollar. It is the year 2079 in Nepal and the students were able to see a Nepali calendar. The cow is considered sacred in Nepal so they do not butcher or consume beef. Pranu and her family all dressed in traditional attire. She showed the students a sari cloth. A sari cloth is over 6 yards long and is wrapped around the body and then draped across one shoulder. After the presentation, the Kindergarten Class played rhythm sticks and drum on a stick to some Nepali music. The students also received the “I See the Sun in Nepal” book and butter cookies for a snack. Thank you Pranu for taking the time to come and share about the culture of Nepal. Thanks also to the Snow-Redfern Foundation for the project grant that makes these cultural presentations possible.
