The HSSD Choir has been busy serving the community with their voices at a couple different community events.
On Thurs, Sept 11, the high school choir sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Staircase Challenge to commemorate the day when the US lost so many in the World Trade Towers terrorist attack. The students were there at 6:00am and they sounded great!

At 6:00pm Thurs, Sept 11, the high school choir opened the Patriot Day Dinner program with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner as well as the Armed Forces Medley for all in attendance at the American Legion. Again, the students represented our school very well.

Thank you to our choir students and our choir director, Mrs. Vande Stroet

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. This increases our chances of being chosen for one of the $5,000 Friday awards and to become a finalist. Finalist will be announced later in September. Each finalist will receive $25,000.
