🎃👻 HAPPY HALLOWEEN, BEARCATS! 🧡🖤
The Gasconade County R-1 School District wishes all of our students, families, staff, and community members a safe and spook-tacular Halloween! 🍬🐾
As our little ghosts, goblins, princesses, and superheroes head out for a night of trick-or-treating, we want to remind everyone to make SAFETY a top priority!
🎃 HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS:
🔦 Be Visible! Carry flashlights, wear reflective gear, and stay in well-lit areas.
🚸 Cross Safely! Use sidewalks and crosswalks, and always look both ways before crossing.
👨👩👧 Stick Together! Young children should always be accompanied by an adult.
🚗 Drivers, Slow Down! Watch carefully for trick-or-treaters and avoid distractions.
🍬 Check Your Treats! Parents should inspect all candy before children enjoy it.
🏠 Stay Safe! Visit well-lit homes, stay on familiar routes, and never enter a stranger's home.
🧡 Let's work together to keep all of our little Bearcats safe tonight!
Wishing everyone a Halloween filled with sweet treats, spooky fun, and wonderful memories! 🎃👻
Happy Halloween from your GCR-1 Bearcat Family! 🐾🖤

🐾 GCR-1 EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: TRACY VEDDER! 🐾
This week, we're excited to shine the spotlight on Tracy Vedder, one of our dedicated Hermann High School Agriculture teachers and FFA advisors! 🌾🌻
With 28 years of teaching experience, including 26 years at Hermann High School, Tracy has spent much of her career inspiring students, creating opportunities, and helping shape the future of agricultural education right here in her hometown!
One of Tracy's favorite parts about working at GCR-1 is the special connection she has to the community. Over the years, she has had the privilege of teaching children of her former classmates and even children of students she taught early in her career. Talk about coming full circle! 💙
Tracy's passion for agricultural education began after competing in a national FFA contest herself. That experience inspired her to provide students with the same opportunities for growth, achievement, and unforgettable experiences that she was given. The family atmosphere of agricultural education and FFA is what has kept her passionate about the profession all these years. One of her favorite memories is taking a floriculture team to compete at the national level! 🌸🏆
Let's get to know Tracy a little better! ✨
☕ Favorite Drink: Iced cold brew with cream and hazelnut!
🍬 Sweet or Salty? Both! It just depends on the day.
🥩 One Food She Could Never Give Up: Steak!
🌅 Early Bird or Night Owl? Definitely an early bird!
🐶 Dogs or Cats? Dogs!
💐 If She Weren't Teaching: She would love to own a flower shop!
👨👩👧👦 Favorite Way to Spend a Day Off: Spending time with her family, especially her grandson!
❤️ A Special Family Tradition: Friday nights are family nights! Tracy and her husband enjoy taking whichever of their kids can make it to Hilltop for supper. Whether it's the whole crew or just one of their children, it's a tradition she treasures.
🌾 What She's Looking Forward to This School Year: Contest season!
💭 Advice to Her Younger Self: "Listen to the advice of the older generation."
Tracy's dedication to helping students discover their potential, develop lifelong skills, and experience everything FFA has to offer has made a lasting impact on generations of Bearcats.
Thank you, Tracy, for your years of dedication to Hermann High School, our students, and the GCR-1 community! We are grateful to have educators like you who continue to invest in the next generation while honoring the traditions that make our district so special! 🤍🐾

📣🐾 Bearcat Employee Spotlight!
This week, we're shining the spotlight on Lucas Brinkmann, our Elementary Music Teacher! 🎶🎺
Lucas has been part of the GCR-1 family for 3 years and loves having the opportunity to work with both elementary music students and high school band students. His favorite part of teaching is watching his students grow, not only in their musical abilities but personally as well!
One of his favorite memories from this year has been seeing the success of our marching band and how much the students have enjoyed being part of it! 🎵
Here are a few fun facts about Lucas!
🎺 His favorite musical instrument is the trumpet!
🏕️ He's an Eagle Scout!
🥤 His go-to drink is root beer.
🍕 He could never give up pizza!
📺 He could watch Supernatural over and over.
🐶 He's a dog person!
🏖️ If he could travel anywhere tomorrow, he'd be headed to a beach in Florida!
🥶 He always keeps a blanket at school because it's cold!
🏠 If he weren't teaching, he thinks he'd be working in interior design!
This school year, Lucas is looking forward to introducing more challenging musical concepts to his students and continuing to help them grow!
His advice to his younger self? "Be prepared for anything and everything!"
Thank you, Lucas, for sharing your love of music with our students and being such a wonderful part of our Bearcat family! 💙🤍
