The Grove
November 15- December 5, 2019
Note From Principal Graham
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for the PTA Skate Night and our Veteran's Day Celebration. It is always great to see our families and community members. We invite you to join us on Thursday, November 21 in the cafeteria for our delicious roasted turkey with gravy lunch. We will have cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans, and apple crisp for dessert. I hope you can come to have lunch with your student!
This week we celebrated World Kindness Day. At Oak Grove, we truly work on building a culture of kindness and respect every day. Using our 7 Habits, our students learn leadership skills and how to be kind and respectful to others. Even our faculty members dressed in sweaters to celebrate World Kindness Day.
Stay warm and dry this weekend. The rainy day provides a great opportunity to sit and read a book with your child.
