Thank you, Central Bank, for bringing Reality Check (a budgeting exercise) to Green Ridge sophomores and juniors on Tuesday, 3-12. We were fortunate and thankful to have many volunteers who assisted with the exercise in budgeting!
From Miss Schmidli: "We took four students from each grade, 3rd-6th, to Lincoln today for the annual Kaysinger Conference Math and Spelling Bee. We came home with lots of hardware. The following students placed top 3 in math; Fredrick Porter - 2nd, Timothy Orlov - 3rd, Waylon Walters tied for 1st, and Ethan Twenter and Artum Verbovshchuk tied for 3rd. In spelling Jackson Davenport placed 2nd. Green Ridge placed 1st in math as a school and got to bring home the traveling trophy!! We celebrated their hard work (and Mrs. Harrison’s last math bee) with some ice cream!!"

See this young man here? Layton found quite a bit of money in a library book today, and he turned the money in to Mr. Doane. He was rewarded for his honesty with a book and pen from the Book Fair! “Honesty” happens to be our character word for March. So proud of Layton for being a GR8 citizen and role model!
Blaise used his tiger bucks on a coupon for lunch with Mrs. Hammers. They had a lovely lunch full of interesting conversation.
You still have time to purchase a book from the Book Fair! Tomorrow is the last day!!! There are hundreds of amazing books to choose from!!!
Attention Kindergarten Families!!!
During our Professional Development day, GRHS teachers were challenged to write a note of gratitude to some of our amazing students that inspire us. Just look at this list of kids!!! We are all thankful for the inspiration we get from our students!
3rd Graders were getting ready to get their hands dirty with a clay project in Mrs. Maxon's art class!
Mrs. White's American Literature class was providing some GR8 feedback about our PBIS rewards system and ways to improve and encourage our secondary age students.
Lots of positive message in our GR8 hallways! The word of the month is "Honesty."
Ms. Kelley's students were working on a new spelling list yesterday!
Mrs. Piscopo's class did a great job sorting the days of the week and peer checking!!!
Mrs. Piscopo has trained up some GR8 calendar time helpers! It is amazing to watch them lead their class in daily routines!
Mrs. Lamar has some great calendar time routines. Student of the day helpers still rock it when there is a substitute teacher!
