Granite Falls grad sets her
own destiny
Kirsten Kramer is
doing what she's done for years - working hard and
making her own solid choices. While many teens scramble
for employment, this 2009 GFHS graduate juggles two jobs. "You're not defined by the
things that happen to you, but by the things you make
happen," Kirsten said. The Herald
reported the story->
Board approves Strategic
Plan
The school board approved
a five-year strategic plan at its June 17 Board meeting.

skill, students' engagement in their own learning, and
academically challenging content.

Summer
hours for Administration Office
Beginning the week
of July 6, the Admin Office will be open Monday-Thursday, 6 am - 4
pm (closed Fridays). Regular Monday-Friday office hours
will resume the week of August 17.
2009-10 participation fee
structure
Due to funding cuts from the state and declining
enrollment, the school board has approved participation
fees for athletic programs beginning fall 2009. This is
just one of many programs or services that have been
altered to make the necessary budget reductions. Others
include reducing staff, moving to an "all day, every
other day" kindergarten program, and transportation
route changes. The fees, which are effective for
2009-10, are posted
here (pdf).
