Gladbrook-Reinbeck High School theater department will participate in the 2025 Iowa High School Musical Theater Awards Showcase, presented by EMC Insurance Companies, in honor of the school's achievements for its November production of Sister Act.

Select students will represent Gladbrook-Reinbeck by performing in a collaborative inter-school medley led by a guest Broadway music director and choreographer.
Vanessa Arvizu-Ersland will also participate in the Triple Threat Award program with other advanced performing students. In addition to a special performance at the showcase, students will audition for theater camp scholarships and the opportunity to represent Iowa at the Jimmy Awards, or National High School Musical Theatre Awards, in New York City this summer.

Yesterday, Andrew and Carter got to each lunch with Grandma Janet! They earned this special privilege by being the top fundraisers in TK for the PTO Read-A -Thon.
Does walking or running affect your pulse and respiration rate? Ask these biology students and they can tell you. It was a perfect day for some outside fun. #rebelnation #rebelsrising

This Friday, May 9th, the girls home match vs Denver will start at 4 PM.
Next Thursday, May 15th, will be the make up match at Union. It will start at 5 PM. This is essentially the only playable date due to scheduling and being able to find officials.

WOW!!!!! What a beautiful day for a third-grade field trip! We went to Ag Safety Day at the Grundy County Fairgrounds. This field trip is outdoors, so the great weather made it even better today! Students rotated through many stations to learn about different safety topics.
Rebel Nation, May 7th is school nurse appreciation day! We want to give a huge thanks to nurse Megan on all her hard work and help with our students of all ages!!!
Here are some common questions and answers to the summer food program:
Is there an income requirement?
No, this program is for ALL children 0-18.
Is it only for children who attend G-R?
No, this program is for ALL children 0-18 regardless of where they live or what school they attend.
What types of food will they receive?
Each child will receive a variety of foods. Sandwiches, frozen foods that will need to be heated/thawed, fresh fruits and vegetables, juice, and a gallon of milk.
Another beautiful night for golf.

🌟 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week, Rebels! 🍎
This week—and every week—we celebrate the incredible teachers of Gladbrook-Reinbeck CSD who pour their hearts, energy, and expertise into helping our students grow, learn, and thrive. From sparking curiosity to offering a steady hand when things get tough, our teachers are the backbone of Rebel Nation, shaping not just minds but futures. 💙
We’d love to flood our page with stories that showcase their impact! 👇
✨ Share in the comments:
A favorite memory of a teacher who made a difference in your life
A shoutout to your child’s teacher who’s gone above and beyond
A story about how a Rebel teacher inspired or supported you or your family
And here’s our challenge to YOU: Reach out to a teacher who’s made a lasting impact—whether from years ago or just last week. A simple thank you can mean the world.
To all of our G-R teachers: THANK YOU. You are the heart of our district, and we are so grateful for your dedication and love for our kids. 💪 #GRStrong #ThankATeacher #TeacherAppreciationWeek #RebelPride

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to play golf. Yesterday the varsity boys were at Sunny Side Country Club for the Columbus 18 hole tournament.
The team scored a 369, putting them in 10th out of 15 total teams.
Anthony led the team with an 84, which placed him 25 out of 89 golfers.
Lots to be proud of by this team. 💙🏌♂️
