Dear Community Members,
The Social Studies classes at Grove High School, in partnership with the Grand Lake Fraternal Order of Police, are proud to launch a one school week Community Food Drive from November 3 through November 7. As part of their studies, students have been exploring the impact of the recent government shutdown—not only on our nation, but also on the lives of families in our own community.
Moved by what they’ve learned, our students are taking action. This food drive is a meaningful step toward helping those affected by food insecurity, and it reflects the values of civic responsibility and compassion. With the support of the Grand Lake FOP, we aim to make a real difference—and we invite you to be part of it. Let’s come together to make sure everyone has food during these trying times. Your support—whether through donations or spreading the word—can help ensure no one in our community goes without.

Congratulations to the entire Drama team and their amazing Coaches: Jeff Haynes and Vera Yirsa!! ---"To send light into the darkness of men's hearts--- such is the duty of the artist."
The middle school had a fun-filled Friday starting with an academic pep assembly celebrating students who are shining bright in and out of the classroom! Students were recognized for Citizenship, Leadership, Rising Star, and Accelerated Reader awards, along with the RIDGY Awards honoring Respect, Integrity, Determination, Growth, and You Make a Difference. We also celebrated all students with perfect attendance for the first quarter, because showing up matters! The energy was high as our band and cheerleaders led the crowd in the fight song, and Student Council brought the laughs with a game of Human Hungry Hippo! After lunch, students who met our incentive criteria (great attendance, positive behavior, and passing grades) got to enjoy our first-ever Incentive Day! They spent the afternoon playing kickball, volleyball, capture the flag, and four square, while our talented artists filled the sidewalks with colorful chalk creations. And to top it all off—a huge thank-you to The Grove Sun for donating enough ice cream for all 260 students who qualified! It was a day full of school spirit, teamwork, and celebration, which is the perfect way to end the quarter strong!
Thank you Football Buddies for a great season! The Lower will miss you. Good luck tonight!
