Extra Curricular Activities
Students are very active at GRS. Whether activities occur during or after the school day, students are making their mark on the world. Each of the activities listed below is overseen by a Guide and/or volunteer adult.
Peace Group:
The Peace Group has been in existence since the school began in 2004. This small group of students meet regularly with a faculty advisor to discuss issues and take action. Members of the Peace Group have attended Peace Jam each year where they make a plan to address issues of peace at the school. The Peace Group is also responsible for organizing and implementing the peer mediation program.

Robotics:
The Robotics Club is for high school students interested in engineering and problem solving - “The varsity sport for the mind,” The First Robotics Competition combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real-world engineering” as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. The Great River team begins meeting weekly in the fall and more often during the build season in January. For more information about First Robotics (click here)

Lego League:
Lego League at GRS is open to all A1 students who are interested in real-world engineering challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. FLL teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society. The GRS Lego League team meets after school during the fall approximately weekly until closer to the tournament when they meet daily to finish their robot and project.
