Principal's Message
On Tuesday, we will be hosting a group of students from Groveport Madison North Middle School who will be shadowing a dozen of our 8th grade students throughout the day. So, if you see a new face in the hall or in your class, please make them feel welcome. Our 8th graders and theirs should have name tags on so that you know. Their principal and I collaborated on this endeavor as part of our principal mentorship program that we took part in last year.
