GHS Drama staging winter production of Seeking Asylum - Dec. 11 and 12
Be sure to mark your calendars...the Grandview High School Drama Club is staging their production of Seeking Asylum on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 11 and 12. Seeking Asylum, written by Jerry Rabushka, follows the story of Mark. Mark is in an insane asylum, and he loves it! He gets tons of attention, makes great friends, and always has lots to do. The only problem is his wife, Renee…she’s in the real world, and is sick of Mark getting so much attention, so she takes the only logical step – she tries to have herself admitted too. The production will be staged at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11, and 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 12. Tickets are $6 at the door and masks are required.

Supply chain issues lead to new reusable flatware for all students
Supply chain issues are starting to hit home. Students across the district are going to feel the pinch supply issues are causing around the world. In recent weeks our Food Service Department has found it’s nearly impossible to find sporks. In recent years, students across the district have used sporks – a combination spoon and fork – to eat everything from Spanish rice to chili. But the piece of plastic flatware has recently gotten really difficult to come by. So while the district hasn’t been able to source sporks, our Food Service Department has been making do with what they could find and what they happened to have in stock. This means recently students haven’t always been using the correct utensil for the correct type of food. For example, students might be eating macaroni and cheese with a fork and salad with a spoon. Students have been forced to use what is available when it’s available. But that’s going to change. The district recently ordered more than 3,500 reusable fork/spoon combinations. It’s one utensil with a fork on one end and a spoon on the other end. It’s made of heavy recycled plastic, comes in a special carrying case and is washable and reusable.

We are excited to announce that we are starting a new program in the district – Cultivating Kindness! Cultivating Kindness aims to recognize employees for the impact they have made through amazing customer service and communication.
We know our staff is amazing and that we have people who are always willing to go the extra mile for our students and their families. We want to recognize these people and the impact their actions have on our school district and community as a whole.
Every month – October through May – we will recognize three employees. Employees will be nominated by their peers or people in the community. You can nominiate someone using the Google Form linked below, by clicking the nominiation button in the GSD app or by filling out a physical nominiation form at your school.
Every month we will accept nominations through the 15th of that month. Then our Cultivating Kindness Committee will go through the nominations and select three people to be honored at the second school board meeting of that month.
We are excited to launch this new program and hear the stories of how our employees are making an impact on the lives of our families.
We will present our first Cultivating Kindness Awards during the Oct. 26 school board meeting. We will be accepting nominations for the October award through Friday, Oct. 15. -
