Beginning Tuesday, all of our student walkers will not be released from school until the buses and car riders, including the parent pick ups, have left the campus. This is to protect our student walkers from traffic. Thank you!
THIS CALLS FOR CELEBRATING! Mrs. Larimore recently received the following announcement from Senator Sandy Crawford and is excited to share the news! “Congratulations to you and your student, Samuel Verbovshchuk, Green Ridge R-8 HS, 10th grade, for having work selected to represent District 28! The work will hang in the Senate hallway gallery of the Missouri State Capitol from March 2022 through Feb. 2023.” Senator Crawford chose Samuel’s work from entries out of 8 counties in district 28. Every art teacher in those counties was asked to submit 10 works of art.
“I’m so pleased to see Samuel accomplishing great things, and I also want to extend the warmest congratulations on his wonderful achievement!” Mrs. Larimore
Samuel, Mrs. Larimore, and Mr. Edington will attend the Senate Student Arts Exhibit awards ceremony on March 23rd in the Capitol Rotunda where Samuel will be recognized for his exemplary work.
