Grove Middle School wrapped up Quarter 3 with an exciting academic pep assembly celebrating students who are excelling in and out of the classroom. The band and cheer teams brought the energy, while the Student Council kept the crowd entertained with an Easter Bunny–themed relay race—won by the 8th graders!

In the afternoon, students who earned Incentive Day through strong grades, attendance, and behavior enjoyed a glow dance party with DJ Xavier, along with snacks and drinks generously provided by Lake Health and Chiropractic.

It was a great day to be a Ridgerunner!
