🐾💙 GCR-1 EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT! 💙🐾
This week, we're shining the spotlight on Matt Kohrs, a dedicated member of our Building Maintenance Team who has been part of the Gasconade County R-1 School District family for 13 years! 🌟
Matt plays an important role in keeping our district running smoothly and helping provide a safe, welcoming environment for our students and staff.
One of Matt's favorite things about working at GCR-1 is supporting our Agricultural Education Department and FFA program. He believes skilled trades and practical life skills are incredibly valuable and enjoys seeing students discover what they're capable of when they work hard and set goals.
😂 One of Matt's favorite memories at GCR-1? Well, he jokingly declined to confirm or deny his involvement in the occasional jokes and posters that mysteriously appear around the Ag Department!
And speaking of those Ag department shenanigans… 🐔🏆 The attached photo features Matt and a group of students presenting Mr. Ridder with a Chicken Trophy at our most recent Barn Warming Dance! Just one example of the laughter, creativity, and good-natured fun that make the Ag hallway such a memorable place!
🎶 Something you might not know about Matt? He's a self-proclaimed music nerd! Although he doesn't play an instrument, he enjoys songwriting, group harmonies, complex instrumentation, and a wide variety of musical styles. He even recommends checking out Rick Beato's YouTube channel!
🏜️ Dream vacation? Exploring the Southwest! From the national parks of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and California to the beautiful landscapes and mining history of northern Nevada, Matt is always up for an adventure.
📺 Favorite TV show? Justified! Matt appreciates the show's great writing, character development, and modern-day Western storyline.
💙 A little advice from Matt: Life moves quickly, so don't rush through it! Take time to enjoy the moments along the way, because sometimes the little things become the memories that matter most.
👏 Thank you, Matt, for 13 years of dedication, hard work, and humor at GCR-1! Your contributions behind the scenes do not go unnoticed, and we are grateful to have you as part of our Bearcat family!

📣🐾 A BIG Bearcat Shoutout! 🐾📣
We want to give a HUGE thank you to Jason Koch, husband of Hermann Elementary Principal Mandy Koch, for generously building and donating some wonderful new picnic tables for our elementary students! 🔨🪵
Jason originally made these tables for our Reading with Relatives event, and while we didn't get the chance to capture photos of our students and families enjoying them that day, they have quickly become a fantastic addition to Hermann Elementary! 📚☀️
From enjoying lunch outside on beautiful days to outdoor reading time and other fun learning activities, our students and staff have already put these tables to great use!
Thank you, Mandy and Jason, for your time, hard work, and generosity! We are so grateful for the people who go above and beyond to make our school an even better place for our little Bearcats!💙
Congrats to Kalli Landolt (2nd Team All-Conference, 2nd Team All-District), Brynlee Ash (2nd Team All-District), and Hannah Epple (2nd Team All-District) for earning postseason honors this year in volleyball.
🏃♂️🐾 STATE BOUND, BEARCATS! 🐾🏃♂️
Today, our schools came together to give CJ Mires and Ryker Ash a special Bearcat send-off as they headed to Columbia to compete in the State Cross Country Meet at Gans Creek! 🏆
Students and staff lined the sidewalks to cheer them on, wish them luck, and show just how proud we are of these two athletes as they started their journey to STATE! 💙🖤
CJ and Ryker, your hard work and dedication have brought you this far, and your entire Bearcat family is cheering you on every step of the way!

🍁🍂 Falling Into Fun with Pre-K! 🍂🍁
Our Hermann Elementary Pre-K students took their learning outdoors for a fun-filled fall nature hunt! 🌳🍃
Our little explorers searched for signs of fall, collected colorful leaves for their nature boards, and learned all about how and why leaves change colors with the seasons! 🍁
From discovering fall treasures to observing the beautiful changes happening around us, it was a wonderful day of hands-on learning, curiosity, and adventure! 🧡

Gasconade County R-1, along with fellow Four Rivers Conference school districts, is raising awareness about the significant potential reductions in state funding for Missouri public schools if funding is not restored.
These proposed funding reductions could have serious impacts on local school districts, students, educators, and the communities they serve. GCR-1 stands with fellow districts in sharing this important information and advocating for the resources Missouri public schools need to continue providing quality education for all students.
