Grove Student Newspaper Club - April 2024 Edition 

Please check out the April publication of our Grove 4th & 5th Grade Newspaper!! The mission of the Grove Newspaper Club is to strive to nurture a passion for writing, promote creativity and collaboration, and foster a sense of belonging. Most of all, it seeks to hear the voices of our students. We continue to share publications with our students, staff, and parents each month! Enjoy!

Warrior Dash

Our Warrior Dash is this coming week!! Let's hope for great weather so we can be outside (rain date is Friday, April 26th). Our Grizzlies have raised over $15k toward our $20k fundraising goal!! Please continue to create your fundraising pages and reach out to family and friends for support. We would love to reach our goal and be able to give these funds to the upcoming playground project and a brand new large projector system for the gym!

The classroom that raises the most funds by April 19th will win a special ice cream truck from the PTO! The current class standings are:

- 1st Place - Mrs. Bosch's 2nd Grade

- 2nd Place - Mrs. Scanlan's Kindergarten

- 3rd Place - Mrs. Carlstrom's Kindergarten
