There is definitely a buzz in the air here at Hastings High School. Between spring sports and activities, our numerous awards events planned, and the end of the school year in sight, staff and students have a renewed energy that is fun to see.

You are invited to attend the Empty Bowls event on Wednesday, April 9th at 5:30 p.m. in the HHS commons. Guests can choose their bowl and enjoy a light meal from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. followed by a short presentation on hunger in our community and the world.
Empty Bowls events happen all over the world and the premise is simple; guests choose a handmade bowl to use that evening and to take home as a reminder that there are always Empty Bowls in the world. The suggested minimum donation is ten dollars in exchange for a meal and the bowl as a keepsake. The proceeds from Empty Bowls will be split between the Hastings Family Service (our local food shelf), and Heifer International, which will enable us to donate an ark for needy families. An ark is oxen, rabbits, cows, sheep, goats, and healthier, hardy animals that will go forth and multiply, improving lives for countless families and children all over the world. Our goal this year is to raise $5,000 or more! It is exciting to see so many young people passionate about working together to fight world hunger. We hope you can join us!
For more information or to make a donation, feel free to contact HHS art teacher Bert Casperson at bertcasperson@isd200.org Thank you!!
Please consider joining us through plunging or simply donating to this wonderful cause. This polar plunge will be an exciting and impactful way to support inclusion through Special Olympics Minnesota, promoting a sense of unity and camaraderie. We strive to create spaces where all students can come together and celebrate the power of inclusion and teamwork.
Did you know vapes are hazardous waste that cannot be thrown in the trash or recycling?
Hastings High School is hosting a Safe Vape Waste Disposal Event before school on Wednesday, April 16th, in partnership with Dakota County Public Health, Tobacco-Free Alliance, and Dakota County Environmental Resources.
The event will provide a supervised, judgment-free opportunity for students to learn about the environmental harms of vape waste and safely dispose of devices before entering school. Students may turn in discarded or collected vapes at the designated collection site, then leave with a wellness kit containing educational materials, quit resources and other items.
Together, we can make a positive impact on our school community—one vape at a time.
