We are incredibly proud of these talented students for representing Grove and sharing their creativity and cultural appreciation through their artwork!

🚀 In February, Grove Middle School TSA students traveled to Edmond Santa Fe for a mini-conference! For many, this was their first conference—and they didn’t disappoint, bringing home medals and several top 10 finishes!

This year, we also competed in drones for the first time, earning an incredible 1st and 2nd place! A huge thank you to the Grove Education Foundation for Excellence for providing the drones that made this possible. 🏆✨

GPS has a phenomenal maintenance department. Today we celebrate them and National Maintenance Appreciation Day. Thank you for all you do!

We look forward to seeing you Thursday evening or Friday morning for Parent Teacher Conferences @ GMS!

Remember our Second Quarter Incentive Block Party at GMS? 🎉 This celebration was for students who met the academic, behavioral, and attendance goals during the quarter. Way to go, students! 👏

One of the activities offered during the block party was Mrs. Deason’s “Quilting Session.” Students who chose her room designed their own quilt blocks, showing off their creativity and teamwork.

Mrs. Deason then sewed the blocks together and had the quilt professionally finished. The final product turned out beautiful!

All students who participated in the quilting sessions were entered into a drawing, and Sophia Wilson was the lucky winner of the quilt!

Great things are happening at GMS!

In the event of a tornado warning, the PAC will be open.

Congratulations to Breanna Larsen!!! She was Top Ten in the State (8th) in the Interview Skills category at Business Professionals of America!!

Another Remarkable Ridgy at GLE! Mr. Moustache, aka Mr. Jordan, has the wonderful ability of relating to students with care and humor. We appreciate his flexibility and that he is always ready to lend a helping hand.

GLE traveled back to the 80's today for the opening of the Book Fair. It was a gnarly day!

GLE had some special visitors trying to get into the Book Fair early. 🙂

Congratulations to our Grove Choir students who went to the OSSAA District Solo/Ensemble Contest today! We received 18 Superior ratings and 6 Excellent ratings! That is a total of 46 medals!!! We are State-Bound! So proud of these students!

A huge thank you to our guest speaker from India, Mrs. Shiny Burke, who brought the culture to life for Mrs.Woods sixth hour geography class. She shared personal stories, beautiful traditional clothing, and stunning jewelry that gave everyone a deeper understanding of the country’s rich history and traditions. To top it off, she even brought food for us to try. The students loved experiencing new flavors!

There’s nothing better than learning that goes beyond the textbook. So grateful for community members who help make geography meaningful and memorable for our kids! 🌏

Congratulations to our ECC February Ridgy kids for Honesty👏 These kids were rewarded for telling the truth even when it’s hard to do❤️
