For years, Pat and Lisa Dodson have been proud members of the Ridgerunner family, building a life centered around family, friendship, service, and a genuine love for the students of Grove Public Schools. Their dedication to the community and the relationships they have built along the way have made them cherished members of the Grove family. Mrs. Dodson is a 1982 Grove graduate. She has been the welcoming face for our preschool and kindergarten students at the ECC. For the past 20 years, Mrs. Dodson has led the ECC library, where she promoted a love of reading and a love of learning. She recently retired after serving Grove Schools for 27 years. Mr. Dodson was a high school teacher and championship winning coach for ten years. He served as Middle school principal for 15 years and most recently led the Grove School District as Superintendent for the past eight years. He also recently retired after serving Grove schools for 33 years. They both leave a legacy of leadership through positive relationships. They just celebrated 40 years of marriage and are enjoying retirement to the fullest by spending time on Grand Lake and loving their five grandkids, Emma, Kai, Rowan, Indie, and Wells.

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!
