On Wednesday November 26, 2025, School Resource Officer Thomas McMillan along with 3 students from the Hot Springs Schools 23-2 were given the Rapid City Rush VIP experience, thanks to the “Badge Buddies” program.
The students along with SRO McMillan enjoyed a meal sponsored by Texas Roadhouse, met some of the Rush players, toured the facility, and watched the Rush win a 5-4 OT victory over the Idaho Steelheads!
The Rapid City Rush donates 4 tickets to every home game to local School Resource Officers, building positive relationships between Law Enforcement Officers and kids in their communities.
The 3 students who participated were picked by SRO McMillan, and from the looks of things they had a great time.
We would like to thank the Rapid City Rush for giving our students such an amazing opportunity.

Our Hot Springs Middle Schoolers are amazing; this is a student-led project to show how they are thankful. Students wrote on leaves during their advisory showing what they were thankful for, and they were added to the tree. It is displayed in the Tays.

Look at this amazing group that gathered for the gifting of HSSD's new drum. Thank you to all involved but a warm thank you to David, Louise, Danialle, and Tom.

Please see the information about creating a Drum Group for the Hot Springs School District and its students. We will have two informational/practice sessions this upcoming Saturday and next Tuesday. We will then determine, based on those that attend, if an after school session or a Friday/Saturday session is better for those interested. We cannot thank the community and many individuals for their support of gifting a drum to the HSSD but also in helping teach our youth more about the Drum and learning to sing.
