What a special day at RES! Our students had the privilege of cheering on and congratulating the seniors as they took their final walk through the halls. It was so exciting to see kids high-fiving their brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends. It’s always a touching moment to watch former students stepping into their next chapter. Congratulations, GRHS Class of 2025 — we’re so proud of you!

Join us at the high school this evening when we celebrate our athletic achievements for this school year.
Meet the Candidates:
#1 – Rowan Simonson and Kylie Goings
Rowan –Student Council President candidate
I am involved in many things including; Volleyball, Basketball, Track, One-Acts, Club
volleyball, The Spring Play, Cheer, Student Council, Medical Explorers, GR Club, and FFA.
My major strength is my work ethic, which comes from being involved in many things and
performing and managing them to the best of my ability. My weakness is that I get
distracted easily, but I can focus my attention when it is essential. Being involved in the
many activities allows me to know what is needed in all the parts of the school and a lot of
inside view from other students with what they like and dislike, and what they think needs
to be modified or changed. I am very dedicated to what I either volunteer into or get
voluntold into, no matter what it is I will give my 100% into it. So that shows dedication,
hard work, and I encourage others to do the same. I have been voted into the leadership
position of Student council representative for GR Club, and once was voted in as Treasurer.
I listen to other people’s opinions even though they may not agree with mine, and try to
find an appropriate compromise. I believe that I deserve to be the Student Council
President because I am a hard worker and I can get things done. I would really like to help
bring up school spirit and support among students.
Kylie – Student Council Vice-President candidate
I have been involved in many things including Volleyball, Basketball, Rodeo, Club
Volleyball, FFA, Medical Explorers, 4-H, and I will be working at the nursing home.
Some of my major strengths I am good at teamwork and seeing peoples ideas through,
decision making, I work hard at everything I do, I am super honest and will own up to my
mistakes and work hard to solve them, I am able to keep a positive attitude and stay
confident in hard situations, and i'm adaptable and will work hard in adjustments. Some
weaknesses I hope to improve on are I am very critical on myself, which can hurt me by
making me over work, but I have a good support system at home and overcome that, I also
can be a little detail oriented, causing be to redo things multiple times, but Rowan, my
partner, is very relax when it comes to things like that so I do believe she will help me
mellow out a little. One weakness I have been working my hardest on is my public
speaking, I can say I have come very far. I do still get a little nervous, but I have worked on
it a lot, and have got a lot better. So far I have been a team captain in volleyball, and my
club season. I am very big on including everyone, and creating good team chemistry as well
as a family. I am very open to everyone being in a safe place, where you can tell me
something you need advice on or even just a friend to talk to, with the surety it will go
nowhere. I am a very positive and supportive person, I like to be everyone's biggest
cheerleader, and also be able to help cheer up someone who is being too hard on
themselves. I am not afraid of confrontation and sticking up for myself as well as others, I
don’t like people being rude, whether it is in a sport, school, or just a normal day. Lastly, I
am very good with criticism, I know that I will not be able to do everything perfectly, and I
do like when people can give me criticism, knowing it will help me in the long run.
I want to make school a more enjoyable and safe place for people, and personally I think I
can help with that because of my positive attitude, I also want to make sports more
inclusive with having more people come to home events and support all teams. I think I
deserve to be a student council vice president because I am a good leader, I am good at
being able to communicate with my peers and administration, and I give my all into
everything I do. I want it to become a more safe and positive environment. I want to have
more people being involved in things like athletics, and more school events.

There will not be a middle school meet on May 9, as that meet will now only be for high school. Again, the Valentine Middle School Track Meet will be on Tuesday, April 29, and not on May 9 as originally on the calendar. The high school meet will remain on May 9. Thank you.
