Second Chance Pet Rescue cats and dogs were excited to be read to by Ms. Gain's first grade.The kids had their books ready and enjoyed every minute. Pretty sure the furry friend did, too.
Look at these incredible Lower students! They worked hard to save 45 Ridgy Tickets to enjoy a Popcorn Bar and movie with Ms. Smith. Great behavior pays off!

Dear Grove school family,
Recently, we, the Grove Board of Education, accepted the resignation of Superintendent Pat Dodson, who will step down from his position this summer. To prepare for the transition in leadership, we approved a partnership with the Oklahoma State School Boards Association to assist with the superintendent search. The board will seek a superintendent who will continue Grove’s mission of giving students the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential.
As we take this next step for our district, it is vital for us to hear from our district family and community. With your input, we hope to find a superintendent who will be a champion and role model for Grove students and our community.
Parents, students, staff and community members are invited to participate in a brief, online survey beginning Thursday, Feb. 5. Located on the district’s website – ridgerunners.net – the survey will be available until Feb. 19. We look forward to hearing from you!
OSSBA works with other school board associations nationwide to ensure a competitive candidate pool. The non-profit organization has partnered with several Oklahoma school districts of all sizes to perform superintendent searches, including Miami, Broken Arrow and Catoosa. OSSBA assists districts with advertising openings, recruiting potential candidates, furnishing an online application management system, and providing guidance and support throughout the search process.
Please know that throughout every step of the search process, we will be thinking about what is best for our students, our staff and our community. We hope you will take time to participate in the survey, and as always, thank you for your support of the Grove Ridgerunners!
Sincerely,
Members of the Grove Board of Education
