We also had exciting giveaways, delicious snacks, and lots of smiles as we welcomed our newest students and families to our school community. We are so excited to begin this journey together and cannot wait to see our students learn, grow, and thrive this school year!
At our school, we are committed to building relationships, creating a positive culture, and ensuring every student feels welcomed, supported, and ready for success from day one. Welcome to the family! 📚✨
Last week, our students completed their Run/Walk Program for the 2025/2026 school year. Each Friday, students from every grade level made their way to the field and completed laps around our Run/Walk track. The students at Grove Park completed a total of 3,875 miles this school year. The students pictured are the boy and girl that completed the most laps for their respective grade level. Way to go, Gators!🐊👟🥇
