This summer Melville Wood Works helped GR VIII update the playground with a new GA GA BALL pit. The PTO was gracious enough to purchase the hardware and Melville Woodworks put it together. This is one way GR VIII and its community work together for our kids! Thank you to GR VIII PTO and Matt Melville for their time and energy on this project. I do believe our kids love it!

Varsity soccer lost a hard fought game to St Paul's to wrap up Clinton Cup play. The defense played extremely well and Matteo Rivas was excellent in goal with 24 saves. The Saints held a 1-0 lead at halftime but tacked on a second goal almost 5 minutes into the second half on a PK. Goal number 3 came on a PK with just over 5 minutes left in the game. The last goal came with just under 3 minutes remaining on a loose ball that was poked in. The Tigers return to action Tuesday at Lone Jack.

Mrs. Zimmerschied's American History students watched a short video that detailed some "brutal" pieces of our country's history. Students noted facts and observations on individual white boards. The month of September has had lessons on both what has divided our country and what has united it.
Mrs. Flandermeyer's 8th grade ELA students were practicing fluency and comprehension by reading a short text followed with questions. They underlined and highlighted text evidence to support their answers. Finally, they discussed the answers and text evidence as a whole group.
King Hrothgar is a character in the Old English poem Beowulf. Mrs. White gave her British Lit. students an engaging assignment today.
