The Running Tigers enjoyed a beautiful day at their favorite, yet most dreaded race, the Mark Sabala XC Dam Invitational in Hermitage. 😆 This massive competition is always a highlight of the season. A number of our runners set new PRs on this difficult course and/or met their personal goals they set for the race. An extra congratulations to Max Knoernschild who brought home the only medal for the team. Max placed 8th out 131 runners in our division, 19th out of 304 overall! 👏

The Cross Country team was feeling the burn running hills yesterday. 💪

Soccer has been cancelled for this evening. Fair Grove's field in too wet and dangerous to play on. We will look for a date to reschedule.

Volleyball will be home tonight playing Otterville. There are some changes to the original schedule, and this is the new information. The Varsity team will play first, starting at 5:30, followed by JV. The JH "A" team will start at 5:30 in the little gym, followed by as many "B" sets as Otterville can play. Go Tigers!

There is a change in order of the High School Volleyball matches tonight in GR. Varsity will play first, followed by JV. The matches against Osceola will start at 5:30 pm.

🎉🥳 Happy Birthday to Mrs. Schaberg! 🥳🎉

The Running Tigers benefited from cooler temperatures yesterday at the Smith-Cotton XC Invitational. Across the board our runners ran faster than the previous meet - some significantly faster. 👏 Congratulations to Max Knoernschild who brought home a 5th place medal, quite a feat in a pack of 68 runners. Also, congrats to Rylee Donaldson and Zoe Schleicher who both finished in the top 25 of their races. 

HS Soccer was on the road at Boonville Thursday night. The Tigers fell behind quickly as a ball from the opening kickoff was misplayed which resulted in a Boonville score just 14 seconds into the game. The Pirates again scored with just under 5 minutes left in the half to take a 2-0 lead into halftime. The Tigers came out aggressively after halftime and punched in a goal just over 3 minutes into the half. Reid Hagedorn sent a pass through the defense that Max Tylar put into the net to get the score to 2-1. Just over 2 minutes later Tylar again found the back of the net when Jack Hoos took a direct kick from just inside midfield which the goalie deflected. Tylar was there to hit the deflection past the keeper and bring the game to a tie. GR had several additional opportunities and held off a few solid chances from Boonville to finish the game in a 2-2 tie. Due to inclement weather there was no overtime or JV contest as planned. The Tigers are back at home on Tuesday vs. LaMonte.

The students in Intro to FACS had fun cooking up Country Chicken Bites with Mac-n-Cheese today!

We found a few Waldo's hanging out with Abraham Lincoln. Our 5th and 6th grade team made the most of picture day!
