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!

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!!!
