Dear GNK Titan basketball families,
We are excited to announce that given the co-op agreement at the boys and girls high school level, we are also going to co-op at the youth levels. This move should lead to an even stronger and more enhanced basketball experience. The program will be administrated through the Greenway Joint Recreation Association and aims to foster the development of our young student athletes, promoting skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, community spirit, and a love for the game.
Boys and girls in grades K-2 will be participating in a house league. This is an introductory level program designed to teach basketball fundamentals. All athletes will meet 1-2 times per week, and practices will alternate equally between sites at Greenway and Nashwauk-Keewatin. Athletes will be divided into equal teams which will also scrimmage on Saturdays. The program begins the week of November 10th and will run through the 20th of December. The cost will be $35.00 which includes a jersey/shirt for the athlete to keep.
Boys and girls in grades 3-6 will play in the NEC (Northeast Conference). We plan to have boys’ teams at the 3rd/ 4th grade level as well as boys’ teams at the 5th/6th grade level. For girls, there will be teams at the 3rd/4th grade level and teams at the 5th/6th grade level. Practices will be held 2-3 times weekly and alternate equally between sites at Greenway and Nashwauk. In addition to practice time, the NEC is designed to elevate player development through competitive game play. Although the NEC has yet to release a schedule, the games will start the first Saturday in December and run through the end of February with host sites across the Iron Range. Our goal is to host one weekend date at each of our sites but has yet to be determined. The cost of this program is $85.00, and a team jersey will be provided and then collected at season’s end.
Additionally, we are looking for coaches so please reach out if you are interested.
Go to Greenway rec.org to register. Further information regarding the program may also be found on that site once the season has begun. This information can also be found on Facebook using the Greenway Rec Facebook page.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to:

Picture Retake Day is next week!
Dear Parents and Students,
We want to remind everyone of the proper procedure for students who feel ill or need to leave school early.
Recently, some students have been contacting parents directly to be picked up without first consulting the school nurse. Please remember:
Our Student Health Office is staffed by a trained school nurse who is here to assist any student who feels unwell during the school day.
Students who become sick should notify their teacher and then visit the school nurse.
The school nurse will evaluate the student and coordinate with the office to arrange for early dismissal if necessary.
According to our student handbook:
If a student becomes ill or must leave school for any reason, they must receive permission from the office before leaving.
Leaving school without prior notification and permission will result in the absence being marked unexcused and may lead to disciplinary action.
Even if a teacher approves, students must have a written pass from the Principal’s office to leave the school premises during school hours.
We appreciate your cooperation in following these procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of all our students.

Ice cream, rockets, balloons, explosions and more. Our 6th grade students had a BLAST at the STEM Showcase in Hibbing yesterday.
As most of the Spartan community woke up this morning, some members of NK Bands were just getting ready to go to bed!
Last night at 6pm, band students began the first ever 12-hour Rock-a-Thon fundraiser event. This fundraiser consisted of collecting pledges and donations over the last 3 weeks, and then rocking the night away in a rocking chair at the school until 6am this morning!
Students learned quickly just how long 12 hours is when you're sitting in one place the whole time. In order to stay awake throughout the night and split up the time students had opportunities for a few some team-building activities.
All in all, it was a very fun night! Thank you to all the families, staff, friends, and community members who donated to this fundraiser for our students in order to help them travel with the NK Bands this year and in the future!
Miss Patia’s kindergarten class soaked up the last of this nice weather this afternoon by eating snack in one of the new outdoor learning spaces then enjoyed an extra recess on the playground after working hard all week! ☀️🛝
Spreading the Joy of Reading 📚❤️
A big shoutout to these awesome 4th graders from Rock Ridge who chose to spend their day off reading to our Kindergarten classrooms! Your kindness, leadership, and love for stories made a big impact — our youngest students absolutely loved it.
Thank you for sharing your time and your hearts with us. We’re so proud of you!
Spartan Fun Club starts Monday, October 6th. Contact Sue Johnson for more information.

Greenway & Nashwauk-Keewatin Joint Statement on Homecoming Football Game
Dear Parents, Families, and Community Members,
As many of you know, tomorrow night’s football game was scheduled to be played in Nashwauk as part of our annual homecoming rotation. We were deeply committed to honoring that plan and providing a meaningful experience for the Nashwauk-Keewatin community. Unfortunately, earlier today we were informed that the home bleachers at the Nashwauk field cannot safely be used.
This left us with a difficult and disappointing decision. While some suggested proceeding with fans standing or bringing lawn chairs, after thorough discussion we believe that would not provide a safe, accessible, or appropriate environment for players, students, families, and community members.
For that reason, the game will be moved to Greenway’s field tomorrow night. This is not the outcome we hoped for, and we all share the deep disappointment of the Nashwauk-Keewatin community in losing their one scheduled home game this season. However, the safety and full game-day experience for our athletes, fans, and guests must come first.
All other homecoming events shared between the schools will proceed as planned (Greenway Coronation 9:15-11:00AM), Nashwauk-Keewatin Pep Fest (12:30-2:30PM), and homecoming dance open to students grades 7-12 from both schools at Nashwauk-Keewatin High School following the game (9:00 to 11:00PM).
We are grateful for the long-standing partnership between our schools and communities, and we remain committed to continuing traditions that celebrate both Greenway and Nashwauk-Keewatin. Thank you for your understanding and your continued support of our student-athletes.
Sincerely,
Lisa Smith, NK AD & Will Floersheim, Greenway AD
