Grove Alternative Academy brought in Spring by completing a program during which students made custom fishing rods, tied crappie jigs, and used their handcrafted gear to catch crappie. The program had its start last year when the Academy received grants from Grove Education Foundation For Excellence to purchase fishing rod-building equipment and Grove Rotary for jig-tying supplies.
The idea began when a resident shared a video of the Mud Hole Rod Building for Education Program. Academy staff agreed that the program would be a relevant Life Skill/Art program when combined with students learning the craft of jig-tying. A local tackle shop jumped on board sharing valuable knowledge and donating extra supplies. Upon learning of the project, Grove’s local marina offered to host small groups of students to fish from the safety of their docks.

GMS will be taking 8th-grade students to NEO A&M College tomorrow as part of our Gear Up Grant. Students will leave at 9:00 and return at approximately 1:30, and they will be provided lunch in the NEO cafeteria. Band students and track athletes attending the conference meet will not attend the NEO trip; we will work on a make-up date for those students, if possible. Any students who have appointments during the time we are away, will need to stay on campus to be checked out. We are excited to offer this opportunity to our students. #OklahomaGearUp #ridgerunnernation
