WOS WOS WOS WOS WOS WOS WOS Dramatic Impact GHS FALL PLAY: RADIUM GIRLS 11/1 to 11/3

Dramatic Impact presents its fall play: Radium Girls By D.W. Gregory

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage—until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace Fryer, a dial painter, as she fights for her day in court. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, Radium Girls offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.

Radium Girls is recommended for high school age and older.

The team finished in 9th place finish at the Sectional, but they were only 17 points out of 6th place.

GCC GCC Cross-Country Sectionals – October 26th, 2024: The team's top 7 runners would face their toughest challenge of the season at sectionals: a difficult course and strong competition for spots in next week’s state meet. Heritage Trails County Park is a beautiful venue for a cross-country meet, but the rolling terrain, steep hills, and rocks and roots in the woods are a staunch test for even seasoned runners. With the support of their teammates, family, and friends, the varsity squad faced it head on.

Samyiah Fox led the team to a 4th place finish (out of 12 schools), with Kierta Siegert, Kate Ittner, Gracie Ballesteros, and Carley Lorbecki completing our team score. Elise Olson and Adeline Timm also competed, running hard to the finish. There is no doubt the girls gave everything they had, and left it all out on the course. The coaching staff could not be prouder of this group!

FULL RESULTS

Samyiah’s 13th place finish qualified her for the state meet, 3 years in a row now! After this week of preparation, she’ll face the next challenge: The Ridges course in Wisconsin Rapids with 189 other runners in the D1 Girls race. Good luck, Samyiah!
