8th Grade Leadership and Science Field trip Thank you to the Outdoor Campus, Army National Guard and EROS for an incredible day of learning! Thank you parents for raising such incredible students! They represented us well! Trevor caught the first and Jackson caught the most.

Q&A: Do we know why students leave the district? https://superintendentgjohnson.net/2023/03/03/why-do-kids-leave-the-garretson-school-district/ Get your answers here!

Thank you to all who attended our opt out information night on Monday. There are a few questions that were asked that deserve a little further explanation. Does the Garretson School District have too many administrators? https://superintendentgjohnson.net/2023/03/02/does-the-garretson-school-district-have-too-many-administrators/

The video from the Informational meeting on Monday Night is now on YouTube. The microphone wasn't working right, so we had to use the computer mic, which isn't as nice. We will also run this on the local channel a few nights as well Here is the link: https://youtu.be/vXpLYNJ-RQU

Wellness Wednesday with Hurdle Life Coach Foundation at GHS! We learned the 4P's: Positive People Pursuing Possibilities! How do we do that? G-UTS: Getting Uncomfortable To Succeed HOPE: Helping Other People Excel Who knew being healthy could be so popular? #WellnessInSchool

We do have enough students to justify taking a fan bus to the SoDak 16 GBB game in winner tomorrow night. The bus will leave from the school at 2:00 in the afternoon. Students should bring a snack for the ride, and enough money to purchase a ticket ($4) and any concessions they may desire. Parents, if your child needs to be picked up after the bus returns, we will remind them to contact you about 30 minutes out of Garretson on the return trip. GO BLUE DRAGONS!!!
