Our 4th and 5th graders performed in their Spring Concert. There were a number of soloists from both grades selected to perform important lines in each song. Congratulations to all these fine young musicians!
5th Graders Complete AODA Prevention Course
Fifth-grade students from GMS completed the annual Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) prevention course presented by the Burnett County Health and Human Services department. The course is designed to help students avoid or minimize future problems related to alcohol and other drug use, while intervention programs are designed to help students who are already experiencing these issues.
Students were especially excited for the informational visit from Grantsburg Police Chief Mitch Olson and Burnett County Deputy Sheriff Bailey Mangen—along with their K9s, Tracker and Croix!
A special thank you goes to Amanda Leckel from Burnett County Health and Human Services for instructing the course.
7th & 8th Graders Enjoy a Day at St. Croix National Scenic Riverway
Seventh- and eighth-grade students enjoyed an educational and fun day in nature at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Students worked through a cycle of stations, which ranged from fishing and river mucking to games of capture the flag and nine-square volleyball.
Several special guests joined GMS to add additional enrichment opportunities. Adriana Addison led a survivalist station that included building temporary shelters. John Bosak presented “Sweets from Trees,” where students enjoyed maple root beer and maple creams while they enjoyed John’s discussion on maple syrup.
A special thanks goes to the Crex Education Center for bringing owl pellets for students to dissect. The day was packed with engaging presentations and hands-on activities that kept students engaged in nature!
GMS Students Assist with Groundskeeping at Memory Lake
Grantsburg Middle School 5th and 6th grade students participated in a community service effort under the guidance of the village groundskeeping crew. Students helped with spreading mulch and touching up paint at Memory Lake and the cemetery.
They did a terrific job getting the park ready for a busy summer season!
