Greetings from Groveport Elementary

Dear Groveport Elementary Staff,

I wish the very best for our staff all year long, but Staff Appreciation Week is extra special and with it coming up next week I just wanted to send a note of gratitude. I am so thankful for the teachers and staff I currently work with and for the ones I had growing up as a student at Groveport Madison Schools. Thank you so much for making this a great place for our students to learn and grow. Please know I appreciate and understand how hard you work and how much energy and passion you put into Every Student, Every Lesson, Every Day! THANK YOU!

Much Love and Respect,

April :)

Ms. Wolf played Jeopardy with each of her math classes on Friday, April 26th. Each class was put into teams of 5 to 6 students to solve math problems in order to review for the upcoming math OST test. The categories were: Geometry, Multiplication & Division, Fractions, Volume, and Place Value. Each group of students had to work together to solve the problems in order to win points for each category. Ms. Wolf used a fun microphone to "host" the game and even included the Jeopardy music as the groups solved the problems. The kids loved it and it was a great practice review session for the math OST!

We are so proud of our April Students of the Month. Congratulations to the following students: Brantlee Abercrombie, Zariyah Edwards, Logan Brush, Hailey Myers, Lola Campbell, Sutton Tincher, Madeline Blei, Jed Adjei Kumi, Annaliese Evanichko, A'Miyah Edwards, Mikey Baxter, Sophie Tincher, Derek Nieto, Daryl Payne, Kendall Howard, Monroe Hill, Chris Dawkins, Blane Graham, Amil Dokes, Jojo Golden, and Jacob Ellinger! The Focus for April was Positive Leadership. The students enjoyed lunch with Mrs. Bray and the other students of the month. They were very appreciative of the pizza, cupcakes, and Student of the Month shirt. The character trait for May is Perseverance!

Thank you to the city of Groveport, Townhall, and Mayor Westcamp for making this celebration possible each year. We love this tradition and it is cool to watch the trees grow and mature over the years. The kids think it is so special that they will be able to come back and visit the tree they planted in 3rd grade.

Nashad Jama, Emma Kozdron, Tobias Brice, Jameson Chilton, Gracelynn Ingold, Aspen Reese, Kiera Pollard, Gia Trapasso, Emma Graham, Darryah Barnes, Chance Cowans, and Crosby Marshall!
