Varsity soccer went 1-1 on the week. Play opened Monday night with a game vs. Smith Cotton JV where the Tigers were down 0-1 going into the half. The tigers came out determined after half and netted a goal in the first minute of play when Jackson Xiloj ran onto a through ball and broke the ball lose from the defense and Trenton Sawyer was there to finish the play and put the ball in the back of the net. SC answered with a goal of their own, however GR came back and scored a second goal just under 5 minutes into the half. Chance Gething sent a ball over the top of a couple of defenders to Max Tylar in the middle of the field. Tylar sent a pass to Reid Hagedorn who finished for the goal. SC would end up scoring one more to deal GR with the 2-3 loss. Denver Bannister and RJ Hampton combined for 20 saves in goal. In JV play the tigers lost 0-5. In conference play the Tigers faced the Stover Bulldogs on Tuesday. With just over 5 minutes remaining before half Jaden Xiloj took a pass from Max Tylar on the right side and sent a shot past the Stover goalie for a 1-0 halftime lead. The Tigers held the lead until just over 6 minutes remained when the Bulldogs evened the score on a shot just out of RJ Hampton's reach. In the first OT period Hampton came up with a huge stop on a PK which was awarded after a hard foul in the box by a GR defender. With the Bulldogs thwarting solid scoring attempts by the Tigers as well there was no score change after the 2 OT periods. This brought on PK's. After the first round of 5 pk shots the score was still tied, with Trent Sawyer, Reid Hagedorn, and Wyatt Crawford each netting their goals, and Hampton stopping 2 of the Bulldog shots. This pushed the game into sudden death PK's. Hampton stopped the first Bulldog shooter and Xiloj stepped up and buried his shot in the back of the net for the 2-1 win for the Tigers. In JV action the game was left at a 0-0 tie. Varsity Soccer is back in action Monday night in Columbia.

Congratulations to our GR-8 September Students of the Month! We are proud of each of them as they model for other of what it takes to be an amazing Tiger.
Primary Elem (K-3) is Rylee Wiegel.
Rylee is a great choice for Student of the Month. She works hard in class and stays motivated to do her best, even when things are a little challenging. She has a positive attitude and her happy-go-lucky energy makes our classroom a brighter place. Rylee is also kind to her classmates and helps create a friendly and welcoming environment. She is quick to help any classmate in need.
Upper Elem (4-6) is Zoe Schliecher
Zoe comes to class each day with an excitement to learn and to lead. She applies herself to every challenge put in front of her. As a 6th grader, she is managing duties and responsibilities in band, athletics, and the classroom with excellence. I could not be more proud of the example she is setting for the island and Green Ridge as a whole.
Jr High (7-9) is Myka Wheaton
She is always very friendly to everyone around her and includes everyone. She gets her work done on time, helps out with our school store in the morning, and is responsible in her day-to-day behavior. In class, she always strives to understand the material rather than rushing to get it done. She sets a great example for other students around her.
High School (10-12) is Jaden Xiloj
At the beginning of the school year it was obvious to me that in my class Jaden could become one of my class leaders. Therefore, I had discussions with him about being respectful and responsible in our class mainly by modeling safe and appropriate behavior in our activities in the hopes that the younger students would emulate his positive actions. I have been impressed with his willingness to fulfill this role I laid out for him. He has exhibited signs of leadership that will hopefully help him continue to grow as a student and an athlete. I believe Jaden has more than earned this opportunity and recognition.

Board Meeting Agenda for October.

High School Volleyball Conference Pool Play Information. Here is the schedule for pool play on Wednesday and Thursday night.

Volleyball tonight in Cole Camp will start at 5:00 pm. Junior high in the old gym, high school in the new gym. Good luck tigers.

We have amazing students in Green Ridge! Each month we choose a character word and find students that are exhibiting behaviors related to that word of the month. These students were caught showing RESPECT during September! We are so proud of each of you!

The Running Tigers endured another hot race, this time at the Shawnee Bend Golf Course for the Warsaw Invitational. Everyone ran very well despite the heat and challenging course. Rylee Donaldson brought home a 10th place medal in the Varsity girls race and Max Knoernschild medaled 4th in the Jr. High boys race. Congrats Tigers!! 👏
