From Mrs. Miller:
"The 7th and 8th grade FACS classes all did great on their pillow sewing projects!"
Mrs. Davis's class had an amazing time at Science City! Thank you, Green Ridge PTO for supporting this fabulous field trip!
The Track & Field Tigers had a good day at Sectionals. Everyone was dialed in and ready to compete. Our team came close to moving on everyone to State, but fell short in a few of our events.
Despite not placing Top 4 our 4x1 team (Raul Ramirez, Jack Hoos, Mark Pavglioglo, and Wyatt Brosch) shaved a second off their time and ran their season's best time of 46.93 seconds. Rylee Donaldson ran well in the 1600 with a time of 6:37 and Wyatt Brosch got up early to throw 40.09m in Javelin.
Weston Crawford jumped season bests in all 3 jumping events: 12.04m in Triple Jump, placing 7th; 5.99m in Long Jump placing 3rd; and jumping 1.91m in High Jump placing 1st.
Congratulations to all of our Tigers! Everyone made progress this season and improved over all. So proud of the work you've put in this season and what you've been able to accomplish. Good luck at State Weston!
Thank you to our GR8 PTO for funding the 3rd & 4th grade field trip to Science City!!! Here are some photos from Mrs. Thompson!
From Mrs. Lamar:
"Mrs. Hammers came and read a book to us today! Then, at the end of the day we had three girls read to the class!!! :)
From Mrs. Bates:
"7th & 8th grade general music working on their lyrics for their songwriting projects. We’ve spent the last few class periods dissecting the anatomy of a song and now they are creating their own songs from a short list of topics. The topics are all quick ideas that are considered shared human experiences. If time allows, they will create a backing track to go along with their lyrics."
From Mrs. Lamar in Kindergarten:
"Lennox reading Green Eggs and Ham!"
Mrs. Davis's class & Mrs. Thompson's class combined their writing skills and created a 4th grade book that was printed! Each student had a page to write! The books came in, and the students are so proud! Awesome job, 4th graders!!!
Mrs. Johnson's class was writing "storm chaser" stories today! Timely!!!
Baseball tonight, at Cole Camp, has been cancelled. Unfortunately, this contest will not be rescheduled. The Tigers will start the district tournament next Monday, at Liberty Park (Sedalia), at 6:00 pm.
From Coach Cannon:
"4th Grade Mile!!! Here is a picture of our top three, fourth grade finishers. Zoe ran an 8:48, followed by Ruby, and Cruz!"
From Ms. Tylar:
"Today, the 8th graders had a blast playing 3Ball! Mark, our cadet, played with his usual enthusiasm, but this time he teamed up with his buddies Shane and Weston. It was a lively match between the Seniors and the 8th graders, creating a fun atmosphere.
This is an innovative dodgeball game concept called 3 Ball, created by Steve Mercado (the Game of the Year at his school). This game involves intriguing strategies, where staying aware is crucial to succeed. Strive to be the last player standing in this engaging game."
From Mrs. Dove:
LASERS Night was held on Tuesday, May 7th. The LASERS students presented their planets that they developed to the full house. Then, questions were asked by audience members. Students were not allowed to say “I don’t know” to the questions. They had to think on their feet and come up with answers concerning their new worlds. LASERS students are “Out of This World!”
Last Friday, author--James Arthur, came to Green Ridge School and talked with our 6-10 graders about creative writing and perseverance in writing and life. He discussed his first book, Holiday High. If you would like to purchase this book, please get your order form to Mrs. Dove by Friday, May 10th.
The Green Ridge Presbyterian Church has hosted a Senior dinner since 1957. Thank you to the church and its members for a wonderful meal and fellowship. The meal was ended by a Country Logic presentation by pastors Randy and Dianna Marcum.
Please join us for the Senior Scholarship and Awards night this evening at 7:30 in the little gym. We will celebrate the scholarships and awards the Green Ridge High School Class of 2024 will receive.
