Dolly Day was a huge success at GMS! 📚💛
We celebrated with a dress-up day and kicked off a book drive to help put new books in the hands of our youngest readers at the ECC. GMS StuCo also poured our teachers “a cup of ambition” with a special Dolly Day Teacher Trolley! ☕✨
A big thank you to Mary Richardson from the Delaware County branch of Imagination Library for stopping by and sharing words of encouragement with our students. We loved having you celebrate with us!
Thank you to everyone who joined the fun and supported the book drive. What an excellent day celebrating Dolly and the joy of reading! 🎶📖
We still need to meet our goal of 300 books and our deadline is October 2!

Students will visit the shelter now through December as part of Claire’s Reading Program, now in its fourth year!
Shelter staff say the animals become noticeably quiet and attentive when the children begin reading to them. What a wonderful way to build reading confidence while giving shelter pets some extra love and attention!

Students explored historic cabins and experienced hands-on pioneer activities like corn shelling, wood carving, leather stamping, and roping. They got a firsthand look at what life was like in the 1800s!
History came to life, and our students had a great time learning along the way!

Thank you for the patience, care, flexibility, and support you give our students.

Monday is also stripes day for Homecoming dress-up days; please plan accordingly.


Students were able to put physics into action while learning about free fall and projectile motion. We appreciate McCorkle Family Farms for helping make learning hands-on, engaging, and fun!

GMS, it’s time to wear ALL the pink you can find and dig out those blonde wigs!
But more importantly, we’re celebrating Dolly’s love for literacy! The GMS Student Council is hosting a Children’s Book Drive with a BIG goal: 300 books so EVERY ECC student can go home with a brand-new book!
Don’t have a student at GMS but still want to help? We’d love that! You can check out our Amazon Wish List with recommended book titles. Every book donated helps us get one step closer to our goal!

Let’s make it a Dolly Day to remember—and put a new book in the hands of every ECC student!

The system will also be a helpful resource when making decisions related to student transportation and changing weather conditions.
Investing in safety. Investing in our students.

One of the greatest strengths of Grove Public Schools is the incredible community that stands behind our students, families, and staff.
This fall and winter, Chef John and the Shangri-La Team is sponsoring a Coat Drive to help make sure any GPS student in need has a warm coat for the season.
Real Life Church is making a tremendous impact by providing essential supplies for Resource Rooms throughout Grove Public Schools. These resources are available to support students, staff, and families across the district and include school supplies, hygiene products, shoes, and other essential items. Real Life Church is helping ensure that those in our school community have access to the resources they need.
And the support doesn't stop there. From GEFFE to our local churches, banks, businesses, organizations, medical professionals, and community partners, people throughout Grove continue to find ways to invest in our students.
This is what community looks like.
This is what caring looks like.
This is Grove. ❤️
Thank you to everyone who continues to remind our students that they are supported, valued, and never alone.
We Are Grove, The District of Champions!
