BISON COMMUNITY:
The Hot Springs School District has entered TMobile's Friday Night Lights Competition. Our district could win $5,000, $25,000, or even be the one district that would win a game-changing homefield upgrade powered by TMobile,
Last years winner was Inola High School. This high school in Oklahoma received a state-of-the-art turn, new scoreboard, and an upgraded weight room. The community is less than 2,000 people so Hot Springs, South Dakota should not be counted out. https://youtu.be/_AIGv93cKGs?si=R62vjanWBPzAyn3M https://finance.yahoo.com/news/friday-night-5g-lights-champion-140500623.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANQOfRQCDUcasyb-aNoWf03JbKHQWWQmZlqup_pAv9qU3EYAd3WixP292Gv7aodHHYhMC-MCsRQdaxPY0ztdFBrKB485nfpf10cuTRi8WdesBQHn5-_UY8Ctywg08M2lEvBs7WxxMdM9aLfDcGN_Xa5c4GZC5DHFFQ6MBetsG-vD
What we need from our community. EXCITEMENT!! We need students, teachers, parents, and the rest of Hot Springs to rally to create content for the HSSD to share on our social media pages.
