Our 4th grade classes made the most of last week’s beautiful weather! Students took their science lessons outdoors, exploring, experimenting, and learning in the sunshine. There’s nothing better than combining sunshine with hands-on learning!
If you’ve ever walked through the doors at the Upper Elementary, you know Teresa Rockers and Sunni Porter. These two are the ones who keep everyone organized, answer every question (even the weird ones), and somehow manage to stay calm and smiling through it all. Today is Administrative Professionals Day, and we have to give a huge shoutout to "Rockers and Sunni"—the rockstars who truly run the Upper.
Are you interested in a FREE ACT prep class? That will be at the high school? If the answer is yes, then you must attend a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, April 29th at 5:30pm in the HS library. The classes are limited to 12 students, so be sure to attend this incredible opportunity.

GMS is lending a helping hand to our local pet rescue. Middle School Student Council is sponsoring a dog food and cat food drive for Second Chance Pet Rescue. Please bring donations to Grove Middle. Mrs. Woods and her leadership team will deliver all your donations to our grateful furry friends.
Our sixth grade leadership class recently hosted a Change War among the four houses at Upper Elementary, raising an amazing $251.89 for the Grove Food Pantry. Today, Ayla Crowder and Lylah Morrison proudly delivered the check to food pantry director Pat Dalke. We’re so proud of our young leaders for making a difference in our community—way to go, Ridgerunners!

Ms. Hornback’s 4th grade students are getting creative as they prepare for testing! Last week, they took their learning outside and used chalk to write the “12 Mighty Words” and their meanings. These powerful words—like analyze (break apart), infer (read between the lines), and summarize (give the short version)—help students tackle tricky test questions with confidence. Way to make test prep fun!
In the event of a tornado warning the PAC shelter at Grove High School will be open. Stay weather aware Ridgerunners!
