The Little Buddy Foundation aims to provide prosthetics to children in need. Our initial goal was to help one child per year. In 2018, we awarded a prosthetic cheetah foot to Jacob Petermann from Wahpeton, North Dakota. In 2019, we awarded a prosthetic cheetah foot to Tyson Williams from Dickinson, North Dakota. In 2020, we awarded our first upper limb bionic arm to Mariah Jenkins from Crosby, North Dakota. We have accomplished our initial goal and are looking forward to extending our services by adding a scholarship opportunity to our foundation.
We are excited to help children with prosthetics pursue their dreams of furthering their education beyond their high school experience. “Scholarships up to $1,000.00 per student may be awarded depending on available funds.”
little BUDDY Foundation Scholarship Application attached.
All GCC Library books need to be turned in or paid for by the end of the day on Friday, May 12th. Please check at home and in backpacks to find missing books.
Activity Schedule - Week of May 8th!
The Griggs-Midkota Titan Track & Field Teams are making up for lost time this spring. Three individuals qualified for the state track meet in the first outdoor meet the team was able to attend this spring yesterday in Grafton. Seniors Asia Becherl and Kaylee Johnson qualified in the girls' shotput event and sophomore Levi Kautzman qualified in the boys' shotput. The Titans lost over half of their track season due to inclement weather in March and April. We hope to see more qualifiers join them as the season winds down. The Northeast Region Meet is set for May 19th in Larimore with the State Meet running May 25th-27th in Bismarck.
GCC music students may attend a portion of the track meet at MPCG on Thursday, May 4th if they can be back and prepared for the concert by 6:30pm. Music athletes choosing to attend the meet must be signed out and transported by a parent-guardian back to GCC. Proper documentation must be filed with the GCC office if an athlete will be leaving the meet early with an adult other than their guardian. If your athlete is going to the meet, they must let their coach know before the meet registration deadline which is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 3rd at 2:00pm.
We will be holding our Live Fire on Friday, May 5, immediately after school. Students will be transported to the Live Fire site, which will be held at the Cooperstown Rifle Range.
The Hannaford Conservation and Wildlife Club will provide a meal to the kids after the Live Fire. Both the Live Fire and meal will be completed by 5:45 p.m., and we are asking that parents pick up their participant at the GCC High School front door at 6:00 p.m.
The Live Fire is not a mandatory part of Hunter Education. Only students who passed the in-class curriculum may be present at the Live Fire. Students will be mentored and encouraged to participate in the following activities: clay target shooting, archery, handguns, and rifles.
Contact Mr. Grover with any questions.
Head coach of the University of North Dakota football team Bubba Schweigert stopped in and shared with the Sports Marketing class some of his big takeaways as a coach and mentor of athletes.
He took time to listen to questions from the class and shared insights on the importance in and out of the classroom, what makes athletes attractive to recruit and personal/team discipline. He also challenged everyone to stop hitting the snooze button and start the day with a win!
