Congratulations to Rylee Donaldson for being nominated and recognized as our outstanding senior student at this month’s Rotary Luncheon. Rylee is a great asset to our school district. She is positive, helpful, hard-working, and thoughtful. Rylee is involved in National Honor Society, Soccer, Cross Country, Track, and FBLA. Rylee has received numerous accolades and awards in cross country and track, including being a state qualifier several times throughout her high school career. She has also won several awards and acknowledgements for her FBLA projects and qualified for the National History Day competition last summer. She is the NHS president and parliamentarian for FBLA. Outside of school, Rylee works part-time, is active in her church, and enjoys being a camp counselor in the summer.

After high school, Rylee plans to attend State Fair Community College. Her major is undecided, but she would like to pursue something in the medical field.

We are extremely proud of Rylee and her accomplishments. She has a bright future ahead, and we support her in all her endeavors.

Congratulations, Rylee!

Green Ridge students were recognized for showing determination in January. Determination is the, "never give up" attitude used to reach a goal, even when things are difficult. It means having the willpower to overcome obstacles, trying again when you fail, and staying focused on a task until it is finished. We are so proud of the determination that each of these students has shown in their school work, behavior, and in reaching their goals. Way to be GR-8!
