Grove Spring Open House and Book Fair - The Road to Success is Always Under Construction!!!

We will be hosting a Spring Open House and Book Fair on Thursday, May 19th! This is an opportunity for parents to come to school with their children to view some of the work that is currently in progress in their child’s classroom, walk through the building to view artwork, take home student artwork from the year, and purchase books from the book fair for summer reading! This is a casual evening for families to come and go based on what works for their schedule anytime within the 6:00-7:30 p.m. window. Ice cream and Italian Ice cups will be served in the MPR and outside (weather permitting) for families to mingle and enjoy a treat together before they leave. We will also provide access to the new 4 classroom space for our community to tour the project in its current stage of development!!

Field Day Volunteers Needed

We are in need of more than 100 volunteers to help with our Annual Grove Avenue School Field Day

on Tuesday, May 31st. Please note that a rain date has been set for Wednesday, June 1st.  The success of this program depends on our volunteers!  

  

You may volunteer for the entire day, and we hope many of you will.  If you are a room parent in the morning session, you may only run a game or treat station in the afternoon.  All room parent helpers will need to stay with their assigned class for lunch from 11-11:40 am.  Each class will need a wagon.  Please email dankmylin@gmail.com if you have a wagon we can borrow for the day. 

We are so grateful for all that you do for all our children! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Grove Avenue PTO
