From Mrs. Zimmerschied: "National History Day is similar to a science fair. Students choose a topic and conduct research using the Library of Congress and other sources to create a final product that proves their argument. This year’s them was turning points in history.
Nine students submitted projects to the regional contest held at Columbia College on February 29th. 8 of them advanced to the state contest to be held April 27th at MIZZOU.

From Mrs. Davis:
"Mrs. Davis’s Social Studies class coming up with a new Bill of Rights after aliens destroyed the real one when they invaded Earth. FYI We kicked their butt and sent them back home!"😉
From Mrs. Davis:
"Mrs. Davis’s Science class brainstorming ways to stop landslides from destroying homes."
These two ladies say they are lucky to be at GR, but we say GR is lucky to have them on our fabulous staff!☘️🍀☘️🍀
8th grade helped Mrs. Donaldson plant 15 apple trees, each a different variety, in what will become our school apple orchard. The funding for this project was provided via a grant from our Central Missouri Electric Cooperative. The kids enjoyed learning about the different varieties, the process of grating and of course getting dirty planting. Finding a snake in the grass was an added science bonus! Mrs. Donaldson looks forward to showing students how to tend to these trees as we watch them grow and produce fruit, together, in the years to come.
Thank you, Central Bank, for bringing Reality Check (a budgeting exercise) to Green Ridge sophomores and juniors on Tuesday, 3-12. We were fortunate and thankful to have many volunteers who assisted with the exercise in budgeting!
From Miss Schmidli: "We took four students from each grade, 3rd-6th, to Lincoln today for the annual Kaysinger Conference Math and Spelling Bee. We came home with lots of hardware. The following students placed top 3 in math; Fredrick Porter - 2nd, Timothy Orlov - 3rd, Waylon Walters tied for 1st, and Ethan Twenter and Artum Verbovshchuk tied for 3rd. In spelling Jackson Davenport placed 2nd. Green Ridge placed 1st in math as a school and got to bring home the traveling trophy!! We celebrated their hard work (and Mrs. Harrison’s last math bee) with some ice cream!!"
