Grove Public Schools

Congratulations to Landon Luu!!! Accepted to Rogers State University, John Brown University, and the University of Arkansas! Well done, Seniors!!! Keep the good news coming!!!

What an unforgettable night at GMS’s Under the Sea Semi-Formal last Saturday! Our students truly made waves. They were incredibly well dressed and so well behaved all evening. We are so proud of the way they represented our school while having an amazing time together! The ocean-themed food and decorations transformed the space into an underwater paradise, all made possible by donations from our amazing Student Council families. A special THANK YOU to Valence Surface Technologies for generously donating the delicious “Mermaid” cupcakes as well! Our Student Council worked tirelessly to create the beautiful coral decorations, and a few awesome moms helped bring the magic to life with fantastic balloon displays. We are so grateful for the teamwork and support! And of course, the DJ kept the party LIT and the dance floor poppin’ all night long! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a fantastic success!

🔬🧪 Investigating Forensics in the Science Classroom

A big thank you to GEFEE for supporting Mrs. Deason’s microscope forensics lab through their generous grant! Because of this funding, our students are diving into hands-on forensic investigations, using microscopes to analyze evidence and apply real-world scientific skills.
This engaging activity strengthens critical thinking, observation, and problem-solving skills — all while sparking excitement about science!
We are so grateful for community partners like GEFEE who help bring innovative learning experiences to life in our classrooms. ❤️
