Students Making A Difference

Juniors and Seniors

Juniors

Have you ever wanted to make a difference? The Junior and Senior classes of Hay Springs decided they did! In order to do this, they thought it would be fantastic if they donated the money that they have worked to raise all year to help the people devastated in Haiti. They donated the money to an organization called Operation USA. Operation USA helps countries that have had disasters. Like the Red Cross, they focus mainly on children. For example, they are helping rebuild schools and hospitals.

The idea to do this was brought up anonymously. The idea was then taken to the kids to see what they thought about it. Not everyone had a positive opinion on the idea, and some of them have good reasons for their negative opinions. However, a majority thought that it was a great idea and agreed to do it. Here are some people’s first thoughts on the idea:
“I thought it was a good thing to do because we are doing good for other people” -Shelby C.
“When I heard about it I thought it was a good idea because people in need can use this (the money) better than we can.” -Aria H.
“When it was first brought up, I didn’t like the idea at all. But once it was explained more I really like it just because I like helping other (people) and I had to think as if I was in that situation.” –Bre Cope

They wanted to challenge other students to make a difference as well, so HSHS has asked other schools to consider donating to Haiti. Here are some people’s opinions of the idea now:
“I’m glad we donated it to Operation USA because it will also donate to other things besides Haiti that need help.” -Travis K.
“I feel good about the whole thing. It makes me feel like we have done something good.” -Ashton H.

The money is currently in an account at the bank. They have waited to send the money because they are still receiving donations. If they can get more money, it would be good to send it all together.

There has been a lot of publicity about this donation. Most of the students hope the publicity makes people more aware of their challenge to help. Alan Y. thinks “the publicity is helpful because people will donate more money.” “It helps out our school,” stated Wacey S.

The plans for prom now are to have a winter wonderland sort of theme. They chose this because it is inexpensive. They will use winterish decorations that they already have to decorate the auditorium. The food they were planning on having is still the same, because all but a few things will be donated. The whole prom will still be fun, it will simply be less extravagant!

For sure, many people would agree that the idea is wonderful, and the students at Hay Springs High school will still have a fun prom, and they can feel good about doing a good thing for people devastated in Haiti.

Lets Go On A Field Trip

We have a new bus!!! The school has purchased a new bus from Midwest Bus Sales in Kansas City. The bus arrived just yesterday, February 2. HSHS got the new bus because it is handicap accessible. The bus has room for three wheelchairs. It also has air conditioning, built-in children’s seatbelts, a stereo, and bay storage. The bus will hold 30 people comfortably, but it is rated to hold over 30 people. The new bus has just over 100,000 miles and is a 2002 model.

Mr. Frank said that it is “very nice” and “it will benefit many of our students.”

The feeds at Lister Sage, COME EAT!

Posted by John R. on Thursday February 04, @ 3:30 PM.

“I would like to remind you that there is a supper going on at the top of Lister.”This announcement was often heard during basketball games.
The feeds at the Lister Sage community building are put on as fundraisers for different programs. They have been done by Mrs. Flick, Mrs. Marx, Mrs. Welch, Mrs. Weisler, and by the Lister Sage Committee.
Mrs. Marx had Spaghetti, garlic bread, salad, and dessert, it was for the junior prom. Mrs. Welch had hot roast beef sandwich, chips, pickles, homemade dessert, and pop. It was for the travel club. Mrs. Flick had beef and cheddar, philly steaks, and regular roast beef sandwiches, chips, dessert and drink, it was for the Journalism class. Mrs. Weisler did several. She did a walking taco, a soup supper with chicken, chile, and creamy potato; it was for the prom. The Lister Sage Committee had pancakes, with all the toppings including strawberries and whipped cream, and sausage; they did it to raise money for the building.
So with everybody’s help the feeds at Lister Sage have been very successful and helped everybody get closer to their goals. Thank you Hay Springs and everyone else who ate at our feeds. We really appreciate the support!

Through Thick and Thin

Posted by Zoe S. on Wednesday January 27, @ 3:17 PM.

Through an inch of dust and who knows what else, the trophy case is slowly but surely being cleaned out and reorganized. Mr. Frank, the shop class, and anyone else that would like to help are fixing up the trophy case. In the trophy case there are stacks upon stacks hiding even more stacks of plaques!

The weirdest thing found in there is a picture of Jodi Garrett and 4 other girls with a cake that they had made. The oldest thing that was found is the 1955 State Track Championship Trophy. Along with those things they found trophies with no indication of what they’re for or when they were won!

To help fix this problem the shop class is building rails to hang the plaques on and they are planning to hang them in the Lister Sage building. So through thick and thin (dust), the bottom of the trophy case is slowly being found!
