🏀🥔 And that’s a WRAP on our Staff March Madness: Pringles Edition! 🥔🏀

The brackets have been busted, the cans have been popped, and the crumbs have officially settled… our Pringles showdown has come to an end!

After two full weeks of crunch-time decisions, bold flavor matchups, and some seriously salty competition, and one INTENSE ULTIMATE ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS game, we have ONE ultimate champion…

👏 Congratulations to our winner — Mrs. Hammers! 👏

She stacked her picks perfectly and proved that once you pop… You just can’t stop winning! 🏆

Thank you to everyone who participated, voted, tasted, and brought the fun to the staff workroom. From classic flavors to unexpected upsets, this tournament was full of flavor from start to finish!

Green Ridge Elementary students traveled to Lincoln today to participate in the Kaysinger Math and Spelling Bee. All students represented GR well. Congratulations to Fredrick Porter for placing 3rd in math for the 5th grade. GR8 job!

Seniors and sophomores participated in the Reality Check event on Tuesday afternoon. This hands-on experience gave students a glimpse into real-world budgeting, financial management, decision-making, and handling unexpected expenses. We extend our sincere thanks to Central Bank for providing this valuable opportunity, as well as to the community members who volunteered their time to assist. During the event, students were assigned salaries based on real Missouri job data and given various life scenarios—such as being married or having children—which impacted their monthly expenses. Many students were surprised by the true cost of living and gained a deeper understanding of the many expenses involved in managing a household, including insurance, housing, transportation, childcare, clothing, groceries, salon visits, cell phone bills, internet, entertainment, and medical expenses.
