GR8 Families, We have been informed that the City of GR is under a boil advisory. Water can be boiled for drinking. We advise our GR8 staff and students to bring a full water bottle to school as our bottle filling stations should not be used during the advisory. We will have boiled water in pitchers to fill bottles, if needed.

Congratulations to our October student of the month awardees! October HS student of the month: Samuel Verbovshchuk Sam is a hard working (student). He uses any extra time in class to research ways of working to push himself to be better. Sam is always respectful and kind to everyone. October Elementary student of the month: Esmay Blackmore Esmay is one of the hardest workers in class! She sometimes gets frustrated, but she never gives up.

Lady Tiger's season came to end last Thursday evening as they faced Sacred Heart for the third time. Losing 15-25, 15-25, 10-25 the Tigers gave glimpses of the progress and skills learned over the season. Neveah Washington's steady "get-it-done" leadership resulted in 6 kills 1 ace and 3 digs for the sophomore outside hitter. Freshman middle hitter Katlynn Hiller found the soft spot in Sacred Heart's defense sending off-speed shots to the floor and getting 3 kills of her own while also getting 1 block. Freshman setter Sydney Gordon kept putting the ball in front of the hitters and finished with 8 assists in the match. Junior middle hitter Kelsey Buxton brought down 2 kills working against a tough Sacred Heart block and she served for 2 aces in the match as well. Defensively Lady Tigers showed impressive improvement in protecting the court against Sacred Heart's high-powered offense with 4 players getting 3 more digs. Senior Libero Lexi Van Brocklin led the way with 4 digs followed by Nevaeh, Sydney, and junior outside hitter Kayley Goodman all with 3 digs each. While we didn't get the win we no doubt have learned that the Lady Tigers volleyball team is on the prowl for next season with a solid group of returning players. We are looking forward to next season!! HEY RAH TIGERS!!!

Lady Tigers Pink Out night brought a full sweep of wins for Green Ridge Volleyball.  Junior High kicked off the winning streak setting the stage for JV and Varsity to finish off the Lincoln Cardinals.    In the JV match it was a strong serving night with LOTS OF ACES as Lady Tigers didn’t give Lincoln any chance!  JV swept the Cardinals in 2 sets 25-7, 25-10.  Sisters Grace and Abby Warner led the charge each with 4 aces, followed by Zakiyah Morse and Sydney Gordon each with 3 aces.  Macy Reed led the offense with 3 kills and Miley Hayes finished with 3 assists.   In the Varsity match, Nevaeh Washington’s steady play resulted in 8 kills, 2 aces and 2 digs for the night as the Varsity won 25-20, 25-14, 20-25, 25-23.  Kelsey Buxton followed her lead hammering down 5 kills and 2 blocks.  Sydney Gordon kept the hitters hopping dishing out 13 assists in the win.   A great night of volleyball and the Pink Out celebration made it even better with the fun games and auctions raising money for Cancer Perks.  A huge thank you to our Green Ridge community – For those that brought donations and for those that generously bid and battled for those coveted goodies – THANK YOU.  Thank you to our District Administration, Nancey Dove, and Tiffany Buxton for jumping in and making this night special.  And lastly – thank you to Coach Fletcher for being our MC and auctioneer.    Varsity Lady Tigers will compete in the first round of Districts on Thursday 7pm at Santa Fe taking on Sacred Heart.  HEY RAH TIGERS!
