GR8 things are happening in 4th grade!!! From Mrs. Davis: "Our class was learning what blind people can actually see, so after learning about it, we built an eye. Well it works like our eye, and it helps us understand different degrees of blindness and why some need glasses. We are going to be doing our experiment next week."

Mrs. Johnson's 3rd Graders made it rain with a Rain in a Jar Science Experiment!!! Science is so cool!!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Bates had some of our TAs and Cadets teaching and dancing with first grade. This new, funny, silly song was perfect for strengthening their sense of beat!🎶🎶🎶

HS soccer got their season off on a good start Thursday with a win over Stover HS. Weston Crawford opened the scoring with an unassisted goal in the games 19th minute. With just over 10 minutes left before half, Mark Pavlioglo was taken down hard in the penalty box and Kaelyn Ray punched in the PK attempt. Coming out of halftime with the 2-0 lead, GR once again got on the board first in the second half with a goal in the 9th minute by Raul Ramirez. The Bulldogs continued to fight hard and earned a PK at the midpoint of the second half to bring the score to 3-1. The Tigers and Ramirez answered just 3 minutes later with a shot from the left side which found the back of the net. Undeterred, Stover came back and found the back of the net less than a minute later with a goal which slipped past goalkeeper Mateo Rivas. The score remained 4-2 until the final whistle blew. Overall, both teams played solid soccer in what was each teams first game of the season. Up next for GR is the Clinton tourney next week with games on Tuesday (6:45), Thursday (5:00) and Saturday (9 AM). Come out and cheer on your Tigers.

Mrs. Davis and her 4th graders have been learning about joints in science. They got to see how the joints work in chicken feet! Then, they built a robotic hand to be as similar to their own hand as possible!

Mrs. Hammers and Mr. Edington held an after school meeting to check in and continue to offer support to our new Green Ridge teachers!
