The Grove Grizzly Halloween We are looking forward to our upcoming Halloween Festivities this Thursday! Please review the details regarding the plans for our celebrations below!   Parent Volunteers: Any parent volunteering to help with the classroom parties must submit their name, child’s name, and classroom teacher on the Halloween Volunteer Google Form in order to have a badge pre-printed for entrance into the building. Your badge will be available on the day of the party at our check-in table. If you have not had your valid driver’s license checked by the main office this school year, you will need to come into the office ahead of time to have your I.D. scanned so that a badge can be printed for you. We will not admit adults into the school without a visitor’s badge. This is for the safety of our students and staff and we greatly appreciate the cooperation of our parent community with this procedure!   Parent volunteers will be permitted to go down to classroom to set-up starting at 1:00 p.m.   Lunch: Please be sure to complete the Halloween Lunch Plans Google Form as soon as possible in order to indicate whether or not your child willing be going home or staying at school for lunch on Halloween!   Celebration Details: Exact details and a schedule for the festivities for the day were shared in last week’s Grizzly and can be accessed by clicking on the link to Halloween celebration details.   District Cross Country Meet Participants Congratulations to all of the Grove students who participated in the Districtwide Cross Country Meet for 5th graders and Fun Run for students in Grades K-4!
