We celebrated our Seniors today with Decision Day. They won awesome prizes, had snacks, and participated in the appreciation stations, where they could write thank-you notes to staff members who have helped them along the way. Our wonderful RootEd College and Career Advisor, Melanie Benitz, planned the event. She has helped students this year, creating post-secondary plans and completing job, scholarship, and college applications, and assisted with completing the FAFSA form. We are so thankful she has been a part of our team at GRHS this year! Good luck to the Senior Class of 2023!
Mrs. Bybee had her sophomore students practicing mig welding today. The students have been improving their skills over the past several weeks! It is amazing to watch! One student even shared her story of tears to triumph!
What school is lucky enough to have a long term substitute teacher with welding experience? GR8, that's who!!! Mrs. Bybee runs a tight ship! Today, her freshmen students were practicing arch welding.
A few week's ago, Reed Mergen, a tiger alum from the Class of 2021, came back to GR8 and demonstrated his welding knowledge and skills with our Vo-Ag students. His visit was the kickstart to welding units for our freshmen and sophomore students.
Mrs. Thompson's 4th graders read a story about the earth which sparked a huge planet study! Students researched planets, wrote a report, and even used paper mache to create the planets they researched! The planets are hanging in the hallway!
Biology classes have been studying genetic disorders. A couple of students took their turn presenting today.
Third grade played Gumball Spelling to practice their spelling words! What a GR8 way to keep students motivated!
Mrs. Shoop introduced her students to a spelling dice game, and the students are hooked! It is engaging, competitive, and a fabulous way to practice spelling words! Ask your student about it!!!
Ms. Brock is guiding students through a classic---A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.
Students in Anatomy and Physiology learned about blood pressure from our very own school nurse! Thank you, Nurse Dee!
Third graders recently worked on informational writing. Their final drafts are currently displayed in the hallway! GR8 work!
Spring is in bloom at Green Ridge R8! Come support our local FFA students this Saturday for their annual greenhouse sale!

Kam Hoos is a GRHS senior who peer tutors for Mr. Cannon's elementary PE classes. Coach Cannon had to step away from the classroom today and Mr. Edington stepped in to supervise the class. However, Kam was the real teacher today. He did a great job warming students up and instructing them on a new game they were playing today. Thanks Kam Hoos for being a great role model for our students!
