Good Morning Tiger Nation! It definitely is Spring- what a morning! I wanted to give a quick update to our parents, guardians and community about protocols this morning. Your children are WHY we are here! Their safety and the safety of our staff is the most important thing. ALL students and staff reported to the big gym this morning upon arrival as a precautionary measure incase GR was put under a warning. At approximately 8:05 am ALL students and staff were released to classrooms to begin a regular day. At no time did our sirens go off or alerts on our phones - in an effort to be proactive these measure were taken for everyone's safety. Thank you for your continued support of GR R-VIII and our TIGER NATION!

Mrs. Donaldson's 7th grade science class spent today making a synthetic material (bouncy ball) from natural materials while 8th grade debunked the misconception that more massive objects free-fall faster than less massive objects.

Our character word for March wasTrustworthiness. Trustworthiness is the quality of being reliable, honest, and dependable. A trustworthy person can be counted on to do what they say, they will act with integrity, and tell the truth. It involves consistency in actions, keeping promises, and demonstrating ethical behavior. These GR8 students are recognized for this outstanding quality. What a GR8 way to represent Tigernation!
