🧡🖤 Great to see our students taking an idea and working to make it a reality! 🎨🚗

Damien Wilson and Owen Blankenfeld presented their capstone project to the Grinnell-Newburg School Board, sharing their proposal to bring some creativity and school spirit to our student parking lot! 🅿️🎨

What I appreciated most was the thought they put into their proposal, including expectations, responsibilities, and how the project could work. 💡👏

This is what we want to see from our students! Taking initiative, developing a plan, and having the confidence to share their ideas with others. 🎯🙌

Great job, Damien and Owen! Proud of the work you put into this! 👏

🐯🧡🖤 Informance at Bailey Park Elementary!

So many smiles, so much laughter, and what a great turnout from our families!

It was awesome seeing parents getting involved, having fun, and sharing these moments with their children. 😊👏

This is what makes our schools special! Thank you to all the families who took time out of their day to be part of the fun. Your involvement makes a difference!

🧡🖤 Proud to be a Tiger! 🐯

🧡🖤 Some great news from Grinnell High School!

Our Grinnell High School students who took the ACT this fall earned an average composite score of 23.9, well above both the Iowa average of 21.0 and the national average of 19.2!

Even more impressive, our students exceeded both the state and national averages in EVERY subject tested!

📚 A few numbers worth celebrating:

⭐ 8 of our 27 students earned a composite score of 30 or higher!

⭐ One student earned a PERFECT composite score of 36!

⭐ 10 students scored 30 or higher in at least one subject.

⭐ Three students earned perfect scores in individual subjects, accounting for five perfect subject scores!

Our students also earned an average STEM score of 24.4!

These are outstanding accomplishments, and our students deserve to be recognized for the work they have put in.

I also think it's important to recognize that results like these don't happen overnight. They reflect years of learning, the dedication of our teachers and staff across the district, and the support our students receive from their families.

A lot to be proud of at Grinnell High School and across Grinnell-Newburg! 🧡🖤

🎶🐯 WOW! What an accomplishment for four Grinnell High School musicians! 🧡🖤

A HUGE congratulations to three of our students selected for the 2026 Iowa All-State Band, along with a fourth who earned alternate honors!

🎵 Ty McIntyre – Bass Trombone

🎺 Jack Backlin – Cornet

🎶 Auston Buchanan – Bass Clarinet

📯 Felicity Osera – French Horn (Alternate)

To put this into perspective, only about 17% of students who audition are selected for All-State ensembles! Pretty impressive!

This is a tremendous accomplishment and reflects the hard work of our students and the dedication of our music educators.

Proud of these four students and the way they represent Grinnell High School! 🐯🧡🖤

What a great opportunity for our students! Recently, students in Ms. Hefel's and Mr. Meints' classes connected with students from Spain, sharing conversations about food, culture, and everyday life.

Pretty neat to see our students interacting with kids halfway around the world, learning from one another, and putting their communication skills to work! Experiences like this bring learning to life!

🧪🔬 Back in Biology to see students take their experiment from earlier this week to the next level!

Students were exploring fermentation by measuring how yeast produces carbon dioxide (CO₂). They started with yeast and warm water, then added sugar to see how it affected CO₂ production over time.

📊 Using technology to collect and graph their data, students were able to compare results and better understand how sugar impacts the rate of fermentation.

Enjoyed seeing students working together and connecting what they’re learning to the science happening right in front of them! 👏🐯

Enjoyed getting into our 4th-grade classrooms recently and seeing students working through math problems in different ways! What stood out was how they were learning to think through problems, explain their reasoning, and better understand why the math works, not just how to get the answer.

Whether students were using the CUBES strategy to break down word problems or exploring how the associative property makes multiplication easier, they were building important skills and making connections in their learning.

Great to see our students thinking, sharing ideas, and learning from one another!

Sometimes some of the best learning and memories happen outside the classroom! ☀️🐯

It’s great seeing our students outside, being active, having fun, and enjoying time with their friends! There’s a lot to be said for the importance of play, building friendships, learning to work together, and simply being kids!

Just another great day to be a Tiger! 🐯🧡🖤
