🔬🧪 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. ❤️

Today in US Government classes, Grove HS students actively participated in a Philosophical Chairs debate where they argued the question, "Should the voting age in the US be lowered to 16?" Earlier this week, students read an academic article and gathered evidence to support both sides of the argument. Today, students faced off, expressing their opinions and backing up their claims with solid evidence from the text. This is civics education at its finest! Well done, Ridgerunners!
Congratulations to Kennedy Matthews!!! She earned Oklahoma Academic All-State!!! This is an honor that only 14 GHS Graduates have ever earned!!! Way to bring home all the hardware!!! Look for the green Academic All-State flag flying above GHS for another year!!
Happy Valentine's Day!! Please remember that if your child rides the bus they are not allowed to take any deliveries on the bus this afternoon! 💕

Auditions for Grove Middle School’s spring production of "A Fine‑Feathered Murder" will be held February 23 and 24 in the middle school auditorium immediately after school. Students interested in acting or backstage support should arrive prepared to sign in and read a short cold‑read scene. Please bring a completed audition form (available in Mr. Gilmore's room, MS 114) and any scheduling conflicts for the rehearsal period. Questions may be directed to the drama teacher, Mr. Gilmore, via email at jgilmore@ridgerunners.net or to the school office.
Show synopsis: Apollonia is a very unusual parrot. Not only can she talk and sing, but she can perform Verdi’s opera Rigoletto from start to finish. That is why her oh‑so‑snobby owner Lilith, has invited a few special people to a private recital by the parrot. Unfortunately, just as the recital is about to begin, Apollonia is discovered lifeless at the bottom of her cage. All signs point to murder. But who could have done it? The greedy impresario who hoped to cash in by sending Apollonia on a worldwide tour? The sinister ornithologist who wanted the fame of probing the bird for scientific purposes? Lilith’s long‑suffering husband? Their fun‑loving but opera‑hating teenage daughter? Their forgetful elderly neighbor? Or their cheeky, outspoken maid? Join us at auditions to find out — and to be part of bringing this witty, mysterious comedy to life.
