My Project

At our school, we love celebrating our students- whether it's their birthday, positive behavior, test score or classwork improvements, we celebrate them! We would like to begin a weekly or monthly book raffle for our staff and students to receive a new book! This is one of the many ways we hope to increase morale and positive behavior in our otters.

Our students are "kind and respectful, safe and responsible, and active listeners and learners." Readings has always been and will always be one of the strongest ways we grow our intellect, compassion and ability to understand others' perspectives.

We are grateful for your partnership in creating a culture of reading and positive behavior at The Grove!
