GLE is so proud of all the kids who read 10 minutes a night for 10 days to their gingerbread babies. Some sweet prizes were handed out today. Thank you Mrs. Hunsperger for always making reading fun!


Frosty's sister, Frostina, heard there were some pretty cool kids at the Lower, so she stopped by to see for herself.







Ms. Kristi Hampton's classes have been working hard to complete their cornhusk dolls before Christmas break. This is a favorite project among students each year, creating something they can take combined with learning more about their culture. Great job, students and Ms. Hampton!






GMS December Teacher of the Month Congratulations to Coach Jones! Thank you for your dedication, positivity, and the impact you make on our students every day. We are grateful to have you in Grove!

GUE students contributed to our Mitten Tree with gloves, hats and scarves. These items will keep our community warm this winter and are being donated to Abundant Hope here in Grove.

Our 5th grade teachers planned a day of Colonial fun for their students to gain a greater understanding of the life during the period of time when our country's infancy, which is what they are studying in social studies. Three of our teachers have traveled to Williamsburg, VA to attend the Colonial Williamsburg Institute for teachers to learn some of the activities the did with the students during Colonial Days. Students created clay pinch or coil pots, whirly gigs, punched tin art, played games from that time period, learned about quills and wrote with them and churned butter. It was a great day!






Another amazing day at the Lower! Students who saved their positive behavior tickets went ice skating and enjoyed the bounce houses and giant slide. Thank you to the Berryman family and the YMCA. You brought 92 kids joy!









Congratulations to Heidi Garner (1st), Alexa Ballou (1st & 2nd), Aaron Ballou(3rd), Daxton Bergman(2nd), Tayton Wright (2nd) for placing in the Cherokee Nation JOM student art competition.
