Bryleigh Collom and Cohen Cavanaugh were recognized yesterday at the Illinois Principal's Association Student Recognition Ceremony at DACC. We are very proud of their commitment to GRHS!
5th grade has been having a great time at Outdoor School this week. Ms. Stephenson and Mrs. Byrom's class have been having fun in the woods at Forest Glen. It's so great to see kids outside and getting active.
Mrs. Crowl's 3rd grade class was able to candle their eggs this morning to check on their growth. They're right on track for day three growth and you can see the embryo starting to grow!
