Ram News created a Senior Volleyball video to be shown during Senior Night, October 17th. Due to technical difficulties with the video board, this commemorative video wasn't shown. We would still like to recognize our 2024 Senior Volleyball players and manager for all their hard work, dedication, and commitment to the sport over the years. Congratulations, Seniors! You will be missed!

Dear Students and Families,
As we gear up for our home football game this evening, Friday, October 18th, we want to remind our students to stay safe, be respectful, and act responsibly attending the game! Your support is what makes these events exciting and fun, but it's important that we all do our part to create a positive and safe environment.
To ensure everyone enjoys the game:
Stay Safe: Please make sure you're located with your parents, families, or stay within the designated areas provided on the map. Administrators will direct students to these areas. As a reminder, there will be NO sports equipment items allowed during the football game.
Be Respectful: Show good sportsmanship to the opposing team and respect fellow fans, staff, and security.
Be Responsible: Follow our school and district’s guidelines, respect the facilities, and make smart choices throughout the event.
We’re all in this together, so let’s make these games memorable for the right reasons. Enjoy the game and Go RAMS!
Sincerely,
Greene County Schools
The Greene County FFA will be partnering with the Central Plains FFA to collect food and goods to donate to their local food pantries. They will be taking donations the week of the 7th until the first quarter of the football game against Southeast Valley on October 11th. This friendly competition is to see which chapter can collect the most donations for their community. Some items that are recommended to bring are soup, chili beans, canned vegetables, mac and cheese, ketchup and other condiments, shampoo and conditioner, bar soaps, gloves, and hats. The chapter who collects the most donations will be announced at the football game on Friday. Please note that the donations do not count as admissions into the game.
Go Rams!

Dear Community Members and Supporters of Greene County Schools, During this week of Homecoming, the actions of very few of our high school students are leaving a negative impression of our high school as a whole. It is our desire to attempt to make this up to you by offering a community-wide clean up. GCHS students who would like to participate in this act of community service will be led in yard clean up tomorrow evening at 5:45 p.m. If you would like your yard cleaned up of debris left by GCHS students this week, please call the High School office at 515-386-2188 or email Mrs. Shannon at shannonk@greenecountycsd.net . We realize your frustration. We hope this act of community service will show our appreciation to all who support Greene County Schools. Thank you, Mrs. Shannon
Career academy healthcare instructor Lori DeMoss invited Deonne Robey into her classroom this week. Deonne is a PTA with 21st Century Rehab. She talked to the nurse aide students about body mechanics, transferring, ambulating, and positioning residents.
Dr. Leah Renwanz's Anatomy and Physiology I students in the career academy healthcare strand learned about the anatomy of a pig by dissecting them.
Chef D and her career academy culinary students put their knife skills to practice by making homemade ham and potato soup. It was so good!
