One of the greatest strengths of Grove is the way our community shows up for one another! Time and time again, our local businesses and individuals demonstrate what it means to support the students, staff, and families of Grove Public Schools.
Over the past several months, Chef John Havens II and the Shangri-La team have sponsored a special coat drive with one important goal: to help ensure that every GPS student in need has a warm coat for the winter season.
Thanks to their generosity and the incredible support of our community, 100 NEW COATS have been delivered to Grove Public Schools to be distributed to students!
This is more than a coat drive. It's a reminder that when a community comes together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our children.
To Chef John, the Shangri-La team, and every local business and individual who contributed, THANK YOU for sharing your kindness, generosity, and love for our Ridgerunners! Your support truly makes a difference. ❤️

Grove High School chemistry students enjoyed some Halloween fun today! They made “boo bubbles,” learned about the properties of carbon dioxide, decomposed hydrogen peroxide, and saw fluorescent molecules absorb ultraviolet light and emit visible light.
