On the morning of Wednesday, October 9th, the Ninth Edition of the Bi-annual 3rd Grade Pirate Cup took place under sunny and near-perfect conditions at the Grantsburg High School track. A record-setting crowd was on hand, as the community came out in a strong showing of support for the crown jewel event of third-grade athletics. The fastest third-grade girls and boys set off in a race for two laps around the quarter-mile track.
First up was the boys. Runners included: Blake Thoreson, Max Carey, Alex Rombach, Jack Chute, Liam Ward, Lucious Lightfeather, Oliver Frevel, and James Denn. Thoreson was the favorite from lane number one, and he quickly proved why, as he separated himself from the field early down the back chute on lap one. The trio of Carey Lightfeather and Rombach ran in a pack in their battle for second in the early part of the race. Blake continued to run by himself on the second lap, and he crossed the stripe first with a time of 3:04. He finished within striking distance of Bennett Vilstrup’s 2022 school record of 2:57, a mark he will have his eyes on in the spring. Carey narrowly won a spirited battle for the runner-up spot about one foot in front of Rombach, with Chute and Denn rounding out the top five.
The ladies were next and the runners taking to the lanes were: Hallie Vilstrup, Aubrielle Bohn, Dakota Kackman, Macy Bistram, JJ Trenter, Alayna Michaels, Audrey Zambrano, and Evelynn Lener. Kackman and Michaels ran within close proximity of each other early in this one, as they put considerable distance on the other six girls who ran in tight formation. On the final lap, Kackman continued a strong pace up front, and she went on to win the race from lane number three. The best battle on the track was for second, as good friends Bistram and Vilstrup pushed each other as they started to close the distance on Kackman on lap two. Macy edged Hallie this time, and the rest of the girls came to the finish line with the leaders cheering them on as they finished their race.
Friendly competition and good sportsmanship were on display for the bleachers full of fellow GSD students and parents. The 10th edition of the 3rd Grade Pirate Cup is slated to take place in May 2025.
The Grantsburg Middle School Hope Squad recently took part in suicide prevention training and participated in team-building activities at the Crex Meadows Meeting and Gathering Hall! 🤝
Students in grades 6-8 are nominated by their peers to represent and support all students at GMS. The Hope Squad members are the eyes and ears of the middle school, helping their peers get support as needed.
The retreat was provided through funding from the Get Kids Ahead (GKA) Initiative.

Our 1st graders have been learning all about the human body. As part of their unit, they also learned about germs! Mrs. Stomberg's class used glitter to demonstrate how quickly germs can spread! Then they practiced the hand washing techniques in their lesson to remove all those glittery "germs"!
