In the end, we hope to compile their responses, bind them, and save them in a \u201ctime capsule,\u201d so future students can read them in 20 years. These are historic times, and we want our students to be a part of recorded history. Their words will tell the story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2022 The poem \u201cMy flute\u201d by fourth grade student at Granby Elementary Greta Roehrs:<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The sun is shining on the grass<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">My flute that I play is made of brass<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The sweet music that I play<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Brightens up the whole day<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sweet melodies<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Like the sound of humming bees<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">I blow every beat<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">I play it under the sun\u2019s heat<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">People stare as they watch me play<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Some people even pay<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">My teacher says I\u2019m a natural,<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">But I just be typical<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">People dance and sing<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">They just don\u2019t want to miss a beat<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sometime today,<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">I will learn how to play<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2022 From a sophomore English student talking about her research project on mental health: \u201cI am really excited about this and very passionate about this subject. It\u2019s so fun to actually have the time to focus in and dig deep into the subject. No distractions from classmates helps too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2022 From the parent of a sophomore English student talking about her son\u2019s research project on ocean plastic: \u201cI love that (my son\u2019s) project has made us try and be plastic free!! He is passionate.

Many students described the beautiful scenery, the ski area, or snow as the best part of Grand County. Fifth grade is encouraging students and families to think about how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place. Here are a couple of examples:<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The best part of Grand County is when I play at my house outside and when I go to school. I get to play with lots of kids when I\u2019m at home and I get to see my friends during school. I love being with all of my friends and seeing all of our teachers, so it really bummed me out when school got cancelled and now we can\u2019t play with our friends. I love taking walks and ice skating when I\u2019m at home. I also like being inside reading and sitting by the fire. Even though there are many other great places in Grand County, I love being at home and school the best! \u2014 Noelle H<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">My favorite part of Grand County is hiking up the long tall mountains, and hiking with my dog, Hans. As I walk along the trail I smell the fresh air, see wildlife, and hear the birds tweet. I get to enjoy what other people only get to see in pictures. I am lucky to live in Grand County because there are many hiking trails to explore close by. I love to go on a good hike! \u2014 Morgan H<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2022 From GES music: This morning I did my first video of the musical, \u201cThe Three Little Kittens.\u201d Some of you know that I started with this group in kindergarten, so I am actually crying as I am typing this. To see these beautiful young ladies grow up has been amazing. I have learned and grown with them. We had a good time. I am working on creating a virtual musical, where I videotape each part separately and then will compile it all together in the end. I know that we all cannot be together now and that is hard but we can be together as best as we can.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/ges-mphs-earn-recognition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During one of their small group meetings, students all showed up with cute hats, which led the teacher to put one on too.Courtesy East Grand School District Great Happenings in East Grand Schools the week of May 1. \u2022 A huge shout out to Granby Elementary School for being named a Capturing Kids Hearts National [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-22678","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-20 18:43:45","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KRKY Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22678\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/krky\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
