Lauren Meiwes is the high school consumer science teacher. She is one to always step up and find ways to make learning hands on and engaging for her students. She never had any sewing training, so this year she decided she wanted her students to learn the skill. “She took the sewing machines out of the closet and started learning. She searched You Tube and learned how to thread the machine, stitch, and she took off from there, stated James Layman, Spearman High School Principal.” Meiwes is quick to reach out to the community and find talented resources. The County Extension gave Meiwes a few names of people who knew the skill of sewing and a partnership with Marcia Halderman was formed. Together, they taught the students to sew and each student made Christmas stockings,” added Layman.
The all-staff Christmas party is an event that has been provided to the staff for the past three years. Decorating for the event can be quite an undertaking. “I started looking for someone who might be interested and it did not take long before I thought of Mrs. Meiwes,” commented Ramon. “Meiwes said, “Yes” and immediately went to work. She got the art and agriculture departments involved as well, and the Christmas party was as a beautiful as a high school prom,” added Ramon.
A portion of the school board appreciation meal was cooked by Mrs. Meiwes’ students. She searched the 2024 school board theme and went to work once again wanting to make the environment a place where everyone would feel appreciated. “She and her students started researching the history of Spearman and created a place where her students and guests learned new information and the food was delicious enough to talk about it a year from now,” smiled Layman.
The Above and Beyond award is given to someone that goes above and beyond the daily responsibilities. Mrs. Meiwes is someone who has done many tasks that have been beyond the daily responsibilities. Congratulations, on a job well done!
Good luck to our students showing in the Hansford County stock show today & tomorrow.

January is School Board Appreciation Month. The consumer science classes prepared a meal and served to the members. This year's theme is Locally Elected, Community Connected. The students researched Hansford County history and created a timeline of historical events, and decorated with pictures from the past. Thank you, Mrs. Meiwes and students for a beautiful evening to celebrate the hard work of the members.
Congratulations to the Spearman High School Lion's Club Student's on the Month, Vanelli Delgado and Jaxon Dettmer.
