Last Friday, August 31st, the high school held a Quiz Bowl for grades K-5. There were a lot of High School students gone because of the games in Mullen. The elementary students were divided into eight teams, each lead by a senior. Rachel L., Kat H., Jessica K., Jake P., Justin B., Brad P., Jaymee H., and Jennifer K. were the leaders of the teams. The rest of the older students helped out by reading the questions and keeping score and time. Jaymee’s team came in 1st, Jessica’s team came in 2nd, and Kat’s team came in 3rd. At the conclusion of the games, everyone gathered in the lunch room for root beer floats. All the elementary had a lot of fun! We hope we can do it for them again!
Trooper Flick Visits

On Wednesday, October 24, 2007, Trooper Tim Flick visited the Hay Springs Elementary and spoke about drugs. These are some thing that he talked about.
Smoking is one drug that is bad for you. Smoking can hurt your lungs and teeth. Smoking can also cause cancer. Second hand smoke hurts everyone around you. Smoking makes things stink. Smoking is not safe for anyone.
Drinking alcohol sometimes makes your body uncontrollable. When you drink alcohol it makes your brain cells explode. Drinking alcohol damages your brain. Alcohol makes you think wrong. If you are pregnant, drinking alcohol will hurt your baby. It causes you to make bad choices.
Do you want to try something gross? Try kissing someone who has chew in there mouth. Chewing tobacco makes your teeth turn black. Lip, mouth, and throat cancer can be caused by chewing tobacco. Chewing tobacco smells and tastes so bad that you might throw up.
What is Huffing? Huffing is sniffing things that you are not supposed to. Some things not to huff are white out, markers, glue, expo cleaner, gasoline, purell, hair spray, grem-X, fingernail polish, finger nail polish remover, or spray paint. Huffing kills brain cells and makes you have to wear diapers, be in a wheelchair, or not be able to eat or drink by yourself. The only thing that you might be able to do by yourself is HUFF!!!

Christmas Slime By 2nd grade
On December 19, 2007, the 2nd graders visited Mr. Planasky’s last hour Chemistry Class to make Christmas Slime. Our helpers were Carlyn Ehrman, Brooke Housh, Jordyn Heiting, Nicole Tlustos, and Terry Bronson. We divided up into partners and put our goggles and aprons on. In our groups we put some water in a Styrofoam cup and marked how high the water was. Then we dumped the water out. Next, we put P.V.A and red or green food coloring into the cup. Finally, we added some borax and stirred. When the slime was thick enough we scooped it out of the cup and placed it on waxed paper. We could now play with the slime.
Mattie ~ I thought that it was fun. Tony ~ I thought that is was cool and gooey. Ciara ~ I liked making the slime. Wesley ~ It was cool because it was gooey and fun. Thomas ~ It was squishy and squashy. Nick ~ I enjoyed it. Kaelob ~ I thought that it was hard work. Sam ~ I think it was gross.
We would like to thank Mr. Planasky and his class for a really fun time!!!!!!! We would love to come back again sometime!!

Jake and Daniel making butter
Making Butter By Jakeb Johnson 4th grade
When we made butter, first we had to get heavy Whipping cream, pour it in a jar, and shake it up. It looked Like mayo after a while. It took 40 minutes for it to return to Butter. My arms got tired from shaking the butter. Tasted Delicious!
Making Butter By Daniel Hunzeker 4th Grade
Making butter is really easy! But it takes awhile. My 4th grade glass made butter and had fun too! We had to Shake it for about 40 minutes. After we shook it, we ate it on Crackers. It was very good.
