Green Ridge R-8 School District

We are so proud of our Green Ridge students, Elliott Cooley and Kiley Gilbertson, for representing our district at the Sedalia Rotary Club Scholarship Luncheon! Elliott interviewed for Outstanding Student of Pettis County and was named runner-up, earning a $1,000 scholarship. Kiley interviewed for the Leon Moore Scholarship and was awarded the $1,000 scholarship winner. Both students did an outstanding job representing Green Ridge, and we are incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and achievements. A special thank you to the Sedalia Rotary Club for providing these wonderful opportunities for our students and investing in their future!

Green Ridge seniors took an exciting step toward their future at SFCC Signing Day! We’re especially proud to share that our students earned four of the eight 3M scholarships awarded at SFCC. These are part of just 50 awarded nationwide. What an incredible accomplishment! Big things ahead for these Tigers!

3M Scholarship Winners: Wyatt Brosch, Rylee Donaldson, Dawson Nguyen, and Santana Rivas.

Additional students signing: Kayden Box, Emery Cannon, Keyten Hardin, Callie Knoernschild, Kylea Lindsey, and Landyn Miller.

Baseball is playing today. As a reminder, we moved this contest to La Monte to honor the La Monte senior athletes. Game time will be 5:00, and it will be varsity only.

Today at the West Central Missouri Association of School Administrators, Kayden Box was awarded the The Missouri Association of Rural Education Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to students pursuing a degree in education. The winners are selected based on the following criteria: leadership ability, scholastic achievement, dependability, ability to relate to students and faculty, and the potential for success as a rural teacher. Congratulations, Kayden! We are very excited to have you represent our rural school!

Rain, rain go away... JH track at Cole Camp cancelled HS softball (home) double header vs Lone Jack and St. Paul's also cancelled. Any makeup information will be shared if/when they get rescheduled.

Board Meeting Agenda for April 13th.

These sweet kids saved up their Tiger Bucks and bought a coupon to read to a therapy dog. They got to cash in on that today! 🐾 HUGE thank you to Amy Gibbs who is always more than willing to donate her time so that our students have have this awesome experience 🐶

Sunshine, smiles, and learning! ☀️✏️ Mrs. Sleeper’s kindergarteners took their lesson outside and practiced reading, listening, and writing with a fun “Headbanz”-style activity. Students worked with a partner—one wore a sentence on their head while the other read it aloud. The listener had to carefully hear each word, write the sentence down, and then the pair checked together to make sure it matched. It was a great way to build teamwork, strengthen phonics skills, and practice sentence writing 💛💜
