Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District

Rebel Nation, GR elementary has officially kicked off the kids heart challenge! We're 10% of the way to our goal. The challenge will come to an end on Friday, February 13. We have some fun incentives for our students if they reach certain checkpoints throughout the challenge. We'll share those incentives in the coming days! Thank you for considering helping with the heart challenge and go Rebels! https://www2.heart.org/site/TR?pg=company&fr_id=12398&company_id=526434&fbclid=IwZnRzaAPsezNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEeFHW5pmUD3Svkxt4KIm3A9y-4JqFDqwTxZ7RDIxAIbT8QRhCGZggZOg5qc7c_aem_QGr4kUCBJT27uI7W3v4Ceg

Another awesome UNI Volleyball Camp! 🏐 Our K–2 group had a great showing for their very first session — so much energy and excitement! Our 3–8 graders wrapped up their sessions with lots of laughter, helpful tips & tricks, and fun games to sharpen their skills. There’s one more K–2 session next Saturday, and it’s not too late to sign up and join the fun! 👉 Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/1edLggd2Y369kThNcR3nkUwKdS6mm1NIz-4jluizyN44/viewform?usp=drivesdk&edit_requested=true Thanks to our UNI players for another fantastic camp!

Before sharing this, I want to explain why I’m posting it. I became aware of a recent post that raised concerns about district decisions, spending, and process. The message below is intended to provide additional context, clarify information, and support continued good-faith dialogue as we move forward. https://bit.ly/4tb2PA6 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Rebel Nation,

This Friday, January 30th, will be Parents Night for winter activities. It will begin after the varsity girls game and before the varsity boys start their warmup.

9-11 grade band members, cheer, girls basketball, and boys basketball will all be on the court at the same time and will have their name read off along with their parent/guardian. Once they are done, they will exit the floor.

Senior band members, cheer, girls basketball, and boys basketball will be lined in the hallway outside the gym and will walk in the gym alphabetically along with their parent/guardian when their name is called.

We hope to see a GReat home crowd this Friday! Go Rebels!
