🎉🐊 GPE Students of the Month – September 🐊🎉 We are so proud to celebrate our September Students of the Month! 🌟 Each month, teachers nominate students who truly exemplify what it means to be a GPE Gator, showing respect, responsibility, safety, kindness, and a strong work ethic. ✨ Their pictures will be proudly displayed in the front office. ✨ They’ll receive a certificate and special shout-out on the morning announcements. ✨ At the end of the month, they’ll enjoy a celebration with Mrs. Smith (Principal) and Mr. Halter (Assistant Principal). Congratulations to our outstanding Gators, you make us proud every day! 💚🐊 #GPEGators #StudentOfTheMonth #RespectfulResponsibleSafeKind #ElevatetoGreat

We have been working hard behind the scenes getting ready for our Gators! This week has been filled with learning, planning, and purpose as we prepare to elevate this school year. We’re Growing Great Gators, one intentional step at a time! 🐊💚📚 #ElevateToGreat #GrowingGreatGators #GoGators

Today, we took our new faculty and staff on a Grove Park Community Walk to help them connect with the heart of our neighborhood. 💚👟 We strolled through the community and made a special stop at Granny’s, the local store beloved by many of our students and families. There, we cooled off and enjoyed a classic Honey Dripper, a true neighborhood favorite before heading back to Grove Park. 🍧☀️ Building strong community connections starts with understanding and appreciating the spaces our students call home. What a sweet start to the school year—literally and figuratively! 🙌🏽🏫. #GroveParkStrong #ElevateToGREAT #CommunityMatters #HoneyDripperTradition #GPE #ElevateToGreat
