Green Ridge R-8 School District

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Grandparents Day! 💛💜 Thank you to all of the grandparents who came out to spend time with us. Your presence made the day extra special, and our students loved sharing their school experience with you. We truly appreciate the love, support, and smiles you brought with you. It was a great day, and we’re so grateful you were a part of it! 💛💜

We are incredibly grateful to the Green Ridge Chamber of Commerce for their generous support of our students! Because of their kindness, every K–6 student was able to pick out a book at today’s book fair 📚✨ There is nothing more powerful than putting books into the hands of children, and today was full of smiles, excitement, and a love for reading. 💜💛

A big thank you to Carrie Pummill from Lamonte for helping Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Sleeper organize the event. We would also like to thank David Cooley for donating his time and services to auctioneer for our students and our Incentives Committee for their hard work and dedication in making this event possible.

Bittersweet. Final season competition for our 2025-26 Harmony crew. This season was one for growth and legacies left to carry on. With nearly half of our group made up of freshmen, we are a young group. Every one of them worked hard to make this season memorable and worthwhile for everyone involved. Big shout out to our stage crew. We have never truly had one, and boy, did it make all the difference. Get back stage and things are set. Sit down. Play. THANK YOU from the very bottom of my heart to our crew for keeping things on track and together for us. Thank you to all the family and friends, our biggest fans, that showed up. That means a lot and has a big, lasting impact on the present and future of the program. Finally, thank you seniors for the memories and leadership you've shared with all of us over the years. Your mark on this program will not be forgotten. It has been a joyous season full of fun, adrenaline, and laughs. -Bates One more opportunity to see this stunning group at home on Saturday, March 28th for their annual Dessert & Dinner Theater Fundraiser. Call the school, 660-527-3315 to reserve your tickets today!

Mrs. Thomas’ first-grade class recently celebrated their *How-To* writing with a special How-To Café!☕📚

Students invited their parents to enjoy an afternoon of listening to and experiencing a variety of creative How-To stories written by the class. From step-by-step guides to fun demonstrations, the students did a fantastic job sharing their hard work and learning.

To make the celebration even sweeter, everyone enjoyed a special treat while celebrating the students’ accomplishments. Great job to Mrs. Thomas’ class for all of their effort and creativity! 👏✨
