Grove Park Elementary

Honoring Our Veterans!

This Veterans Day, Grove Park Elementary proudly salutes all the brave men and women who have served our country. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice inspire us every day.

At Grove Park, we “Elevate to Great” not just in learning, but in gratitude, community, and family. Today, we come together as a Gator family to honor those who have protected the freedoms that make our community strong.

Thank you, veterans, for your service! 💚
