Ms. Grundstrom's English 4 class opened a study of grit with a fun activity. They were first asked to write what "grit" means to them on a balloon, and then they had to keep the balloon bouncing without it falling on the ground. Eventually, students were challenged to only use one hand, balance a book on their heads, and drink from a glass to simulate how it feels to balance multiple obligations in life. "It definitely got me thinking about balancing multiple things at the same time," said senior Macy Mizlo.
