We Are GR!

In first grade Melvin Ficken and Bob Woolery from the Forty and Eight VFW visited the first graders today to teach them about the American Flag. They presented them with information about the history of the flag as a symbol, how to respect, honor and protect it. Each student was then presented with a small flag and coloring book.

The 8th Grade STEAM classes were challenged to design and build a catapult capable of launching a ping pong ball the farthest distance across the little gym. Students researched different designs and constructed a complex catapult of their choice. Creations included basic lever catapults, slingshot-style models, and even two trebuchets.
On challenge day, both 8th grade STEAM classes came together to test their designs. Although there were a few hiccups, rebuilds, and minor setbacks, the students persevered—and overall, they did an outstanding job!

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.
