High school Biology classes are making presentations this week. Students worked with partners to research various animals in order to "create" their own animal species with characteristics from the various animals they researched. Today, the new species was a Crocatuasaras... interesting combination of a crocodile, turtle, and tuatara! GR8 Job!
Jr. High Science classes reviewed thermal energy today and started discussing how pressure affects states of matter. Ms. Donaldson used real world examples to help students better understand this concept: balloons, bike tires, mountain elevation.

The Jr High Tiger boys finished up a great season today beating rival Sacred Heart for the second time this year and bringing home 3rd place in the Kaysinger Conference Tournament. The boys finished the year 8-1 in regular season play, a 2nd place finish in the Lincoln tournament, and 3rd in the Conference tournament. To say it was a successful year would be an understatement. I'm so proud of this group of young men and I can't wait to see what they do moving on in their HS careers! 🐅🏀💜
It's a Grand Event!
Today, our 5th & 6th grade Math and ELA classes were busy breaking down lengthy word problems, reviewing various math concepts, and identifying characteristics of science fiction in a sample text. GR8 job, Tigers!

Upper level ELA classes are keeping things interesting! One of today's lessons involved evaluating an author's argument. Students learned about the impact of propaganda. Other classes were preparing for Evaluate assessments. We are having a friendly competition for the best scores...7th grade vs. 8th grade and 9th vs. 10th! We love seeing 100% effort!!!
Here is a small sample of some of our patriotic attire today for Spirit Week!
Kindergarten students are blooming and growing! Small group time with the teacher and independent reading work stations are a big part of this success! We are also grateful for our high school helpers! Keep up the GR8 work!

If you are a Band Alum, we'd love for you to join us in playing Pep Tunes during the game as well!
Congratulations to our January students of the month Wyatt Crawford and Myka Wheaton! Wyatt is an eighth grader that was nominated by two of his teachers this month. His teachers say: Wyatt always comes to class prepared. He is respectful, kind, participates in lessons, takes notes, and completes his work. He asks questions during lessons, seeking to actually understand the learning, as opposed to simply wanting the answer. His grades are all A's or high B's, and he is very active in extra-curricular activities. Myka Wheaton is a sixth grader at Green Ridge. Her teachers say: Myka is a constant ray of sunshine. Her optimistic attitude is contagious to all. Not only does Myka work well with all students, but you can put her in any group or any spot and she will always find ways to motivate those around her. Her ability to hold herself and her peers accountable makes our job much easier. Her quick wit and sense of humor makes teaching even more fun.
HS boys and girls basketball will travel to La Monte this evening for 2 qtrs. JV boys, Varsity Girls, and Varsity Boys. Tip off will be at 5:30 p.m. The JH boys basketball team will be playing in Stover, against Lincoln, at 6:15 in the Kaysinger Conference Tournament. Good Luck Tigers.
