Principal's Pick

Dear GRDC Families,



We wrapped up October with a great Red Ribbon Spirit Week! It was wonderful seeing so many students and staff participate, show their school spirit, and have fun together. We also held our first-ever Book Character Parade and Dress-Up Day, and it was such a fun day! The creativity was amazing, and it was a great reminder of how much joy reading can bring to our lives. Thank you to everyone who helped make these events such a success. Every day is a great day to be a Miner!
