THE GRIZZETTE
All the HAPPENINGS for December
Holiday Market
This Saturday, Groves Elementary will host the 2nd Annual Groves Elementary Holiday Market, with over 40 vendors. Santa will also be stopping by the market from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Be sure to check out performances by both the Groves Elementary Choir and the Groves Elementary Drama Club at noon and 1 pm, respectively. Be sure to join us later that evening for movies and hot chocolate. The event will begin at 5 pm outside. Please dress accordingly and bring blankets to sit on during the movie.
If you are interested in getting a photo with Santa, please sign up at https://grovespto.membershiptoolkit.com/form/m/62965 . Photos will be taken by Guiselle Brady Photography and will be digitally delivered the week after the market.
Also, check out the event page to get a sneak peek at some of the great products that will be available at the market. https://www.facebook.com/events/348103912421101/
Finally, don’t miss the chance to give back to the school that provides each of these wonderful events for our community. We are still needing volunteers for both the market and the movie night. Check out these opportunities here https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050d4cadaf2aa13-holiday

PTO Thank you
This month, we had 3 amazing sponsors who made it possible to provide the main course and also the desserts for the staff Thanksgiving feast. If your child attends one of the two child care facilities or if you see Pam Mejia with CP Paragon, please give them a huge thank you and let them know how appreciative we are of their support of our school. Without such great community partners, many of our events simply would not be possible. Please see below for information on our 3 sponsors.
