Sending out a friendly reminder that Grandview is scheduled to have school this Friday, November 21.

Last Sunday, Grandview Junior Gabriella Byers received the Daughters of the American Revolution's Good Citizen's Award for Grandview High School. This award recognizes and rewards individuals who possess good citizenship qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism in their homes, schools, and communities. Teachers nominate students whom they feel reflect these qualities to an outstanding degree. Gabriella was nominated by several of her teachers for her work with Gabby's Gowns. One teacher's thoughtful nomination read, "She's a wonderful student, she's very respectful of her teachers and her peers, and her dress donation program that she put together for Homecoming was an incredible act of empathy and community leadership." Congratulations, Gabby!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those impacted by the tragic incident at Central Visual Performing Arts High School. Below is a link to a message from Superintendent Matt Zoph to all of Eagle Nation. https://5il.co/1js8y P.S. Please hug your loved ones.

Hey Eagle Nation, Remember a few day ago we mentioned the upgrade to the elementary playground? Just thought you might want to see some artist renderings of the new equipment going in.

Attention: The Elementary playground will be closed for a time due to a construction project starting tomorrow, Thursday, October 20. The parking area on the east side of the Fassen building will also need to remain clear during the project. Thank you for your patience during this upgrade to our facilities.

Tonight at the Missouri Teacher of the Year banquet Emily Hilligoss was honored as a Semifinalist. We are proud of her accomplishments and are so glad she is a part of Eagle Nation. Way to go Ms. Hilligoss!

Here's what's happening for the rest of October in Eagle Nation. https://5il.co/1j5rl
