Our three high school ultimate frisbee teams are hosting a fundraiser March 18th, 4-8pm at Davanni's on Cleveland & Grand in St. Paul to raise money to compete in tournaments this Spring. The Madison Mudbath is a large regional ultimate tournament held in Madison, WI each April. In 2024, our Stars went undefeated in windy, rainy conditions and took first place among all FMP (female matching players) teams! They are looking to return to defend their title and the boys/open team are aiming to participate as well this year. Come on out on March 18th between 4-8pm to the Davanni's on Cleveland & Grand in St Paul and mention you're with the fundraiser with your dine-in or takeout order. If you're unable to make it to the fundraiser, but want to support these athletes or learn more about GRS' ultimate program, visit our Stars website.

Hello Everyone! Many students everyday come in to get an ice pack but unfortunately, they don’t always get returned. If you happen to see one of these blue ice/hot packs with your student, they belong to the health office. Our Health Office Coordinator says that a lot of them (the ones pictured below) have gone missing. “If you see them please send them back home to me in my health office! I am missing all sizes S/M/L.”
Thank you everyone!
