Spring Break/The Origins of Easter


Spring break is coming up for Hagerman Highschool students! Spring break for the students lasts from March 13th to March 20th 2022. The last week of school before spring break, Hagerman High puts on a spirit week. This year's spirit week days include, Monday: Mix Match Day, Tuesday: Tropical Day, Wednesday: Dress Like A Celebrity, and Thursday: Anything But A Backpack Day. We’ll also have an assembly on Tuesday to show off our tropical outfits and some school spirit!

With spring coming into play, we cannot forget about Easter coming up.

Easter this year falls on Sunday, April 17th 2022. The community of Hagerman will be putting on an Easter egg hunt Easter morning at the city park. Make sure to bring your kids, nieces/nephews, cousins, etc. There will be prizes as well as just having fun and finding eggs full of candy! For Christians, Easter is the crucifiction and resurrection of Jesus Christ from about 2,000 years ago. “According to some sources, the Easter bunny first arrived in America in the 1700s with German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania and transported their tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws.” Their children made nests in which this creature could lay its colored eggs,” (Google).

Students from school all do different things for Easter. A sophomore, Branson Hauser, states that he wakes up in the morning and hunts for eggs in his front yard with the hopes of finding money inside eggs. Another Sophomore, Keaton Brewer, says that he has lunch/dinner with his family and they all put on an egg hunt in the evening. I hope everyone has a great spring break as well as Easter!
