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!
Our GR8 School District is thankful for the service of these gentlemen! Barry White served on our school board for twelve years, and Kenneth Ollison and Bob Stone each served for six years. Thanks so much to Barry, Kenny and Bob!

Missouri New Law: Get the Lead Out
In order to be compliant with the Missouri law known as the “Get the Lead out of School Drinking Water Act," over the next few days the District will conduct sampling and testing of all potential drinking water sources in the school. The results of the water testing, including any corrective actions and retesting needed will be posted in a public follow-up notice--typically, 7-14 workdays after the water samples have been submitted to the lab.
Additional information and resources on the health effects of lead contamination are available here:
