Over the past few weeks, students in Mrs. Sleeper's class have been working on animal research papers. They picked an animal, researched it on their chromebooks, and took notes over their animals. They then turned that information into a research paper and made it into a poster to display in the hallway. GR8 job, students!
District softball update:

Our GR8 boys golf team held its last regular season match vs Knob Noster last Tursday. Sam Verbovshchuk placed 5th and Kameron Hoos finished in 6th place. Golf districts begin on Monday, May 10. The team is in their final week of preparation before the big tournament at Clinton Country Club. Go TIGERS!
The Tigers lost a good game against Sacred Heart last night, 20-10. Offensively, the Tigers were led by Landon Mason who hit a home run and scored two runs. The Tiger offense came alive with a season's best 10 runs, and have shown improvement as the season has progressed. Austin Warner and Mason Ferrel pitched very well over their 5 innings of work. Some ill-timed fielding and baserunning mistakes were the biggest differences in the game. We are proud of our TIGERS!
Our GR8 boys golf team improved their team score by over 20 strokes yesterday at the Stover Invitational. Kamryn Hoos improved his personal best by over 15 strokes and finished in 17th place. The team finished in 6th place. Great improvement, boys!

On Monday, April 19, the junior high Tigers traveled to Russellville for the War-Tribe Relays. The meet started off warm with temperatures in the 70s before cooling down to the 50s. While the temperature cooled down, our performances did not.

Following the discus, Mason Miles threw 6.37m in his first ever shot put attempt. On the running side, Mason and Matthew continued the Tigers performances in the 100m dash with 14.63s and 15.19s respectively. This qualifies as a PR for Matthew. In the 1600m, Jared ran 6:01.98 to improve his best time by about 1 second.
For the girls, Callie Knoernschild ran 8:06.54. She did a great job persevering and pushing through despite running alone most of the race. Rylee Donaldson improved her PR from 7:05.82 to 6:57.23. This makes her the first middle school girl in recorded GR history to break 7 minutes in the mile.
The GRJH Tigers will compete next at Smithton on Wednesday.
