Our Gators had an amazing Friday exploring big trucks and cars at our annual Touch A Truck event! They had the chance to get up close, ask questions, and learn in a fun, hands-on way.
A huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers and officers who made this an engaging and unforgettable experience!

🌸 Spring Spirit Week Fun! 🌸
We are having an absolute blast celebrating Spring Spirit Week at Grove Park! Today was one of our favorites—Students dressed like teachers, and teachers dressed like students! 🤣📚✏️
From backpacks and hoodies to blazers and coffee cups, everyone got into the spirit, and the results were hilarious! Some students even went all out dressing like their favorite teachers—and yes, we had a few “mini principals” walking around today! 👩🏾🏫👔
We love seeing our Gator family come together to make learning fun and memorable. Stay tuned for more exciting moments this week!
