3rd grade students at Northside are learning math through a hands on activity of capture the flag. Students had a great time competing with each other while working on their elapsed time skills. It was a great opportunity to think strategically and learn math at the same time.
Students in Mrs. Lindberg’s Spanish III class honored the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos by creating their own ofrendas (altars) and sharing presentations about the special people they chose to remember and honor.
Through creativity, storytelling, and cultural learning, students explored the meaning behind this meaningful tradition while celebrating the lives and memories of loved ones.
¡Excelente trabajo, Spanish III!

Here are our GHS "Perfect Week" winners. Each Friday we randomly select a student from each grade level that had perfect attendance and conduct. These students will meet with Mr. Mosier and receive their choice of free Casey's pizza or candy.
One of our favorite traditions at GHS is our Student of the Quarter Breakfast!
This special event brings together students, parents/guardians, and staff to celebrate the students who make our days brighter. Each student receives a certificate, but one of the most meaningful parts of the morning is hearing staff members share why they nominated their student. From a positive attitude and a willingness to help others to kindness, perseverance, and the little things that don’t always get noticed, these stories remind us of the impact our students have on our school community.
These breakfasts are a great reminder that success isn’t measured only by grades, awards, or accomplishments. Sometimes, it’s the way you treat others, the effort you put in, and the positive energy you bring each day that makes you stand out.
Congratulations to all of our Students of the Quarter! We are proud of you and grateful for the ways you make GHS a better place!

A few of our fifth grade students are hard at work preparing a presentation for the November school board meeting. Millikin Elementary is looking forward to welcoming the board on Thursday, November 12!
It was a spooky, scary, and quite Skeletonic at tonight's GMS 7th and 8th Band Halloween Concert. Our young musicians may have been dressed up as ghosts, sharks, doctors, Mario and Luigi, the Lorax, and more, but their smiles and sound was almost as good as Mozart!

🎃🍁 A Little Friendly Competition Goes a Long Way! 🍁🎃
This morning, our Geneseo High School teachers and staff had some fun decorating pumpkins with their departments! While the pumpkins are a great way to celebrate the season, mornings like this are about so much more than just pumpkins.
Taking time to laugh, be creative, and enjoy each other’s company helps build the relationships and connections that make GHS special. A positive school culture starts with people who enjoy working together, support one another, and have fun along the way. When we invest in our staff, it makes our school a better place for everyone, including our students!
The pumpkins are on display in the art hallway, and students will have all next week to vote for their favorite. The winning department will take home a prize and, of course, some serious bragging rights!
Students- Be sure to check them out and cast your vote!
