One group of GT Middle School students spent the day learning about machines and work. They toured ESP and Shaver Manufacturing. They made pizzas at the Side Street. Then planted flowers on hole 8 for Mr. Simington's family and hole 9 in memory of Noah. They got to play a few holes of golf, hammer nails, make pudding and cut apples with simple machines.
These GT Middle School Students planted flowers for the city of Graettinger along Robins Avenue as part of their May Term experience.
“Lifetime Activities” and “Adventures Out There” May Term groups paired up on Thursday to visit the Dickinson County Nature Center, disc golf in Spirit Lake, had lunch by the lake (Thanks, Coach D!), and finished the day with disc golf in Estherville.
Today was a great day at the Blue Oval of State for the Lady Titan Track team!

As the Coach to the GTRA Lady Titans Track Team (Chris Myers) and a proud member of Titan Nation, I wish to make the following known:
Last Thursday at the District Track meet, the GTRA Lady Titan Track Team had a record setting night! First of all, the team scored 60 points! That is more than any GTRA Lady's Track Team has scored at any track meet by 7 points, let alone at State Qualifying. Numerous athletes played a role in this endeavor. We received points from Kendall Umsheid in the 100 M Hurdles, Madisen Fay in the 800 M (with her fastest time ever by 6 seconds), Gabby Conlon in the 800 M and 400 M, Macy Alderson in the 200 M, Myla Murphy in the 100 M, 200 M and 400 M, as well as Drea McKean-Riparetti in the High Jump and Macy Alderson, Drea McKean-Riparetti, Lilly Thompson and Myla Murphy in the 4 X 200 M relay.
Out of these efforts, we qualified 5 events for the State Track Meet with all 5 having an excellent chance at getting a medal! This total number of events qualifying is a GTRA record as well! We qualified the 4X200 as stated above with alternates being Natalie Swedin and Kendall Umsheid. Myla Murphy qualified in the 100 M, 200 M, 400 M as well as Drea McKean-Riparetti in the High Jump. Their work to place and medal at State begins on Thursday morning this week and continues through Saturday. I am extremely proud to coach these young athletes! They are some of the hardest working athletes I have ever had a chance to coach.
