We have a lot to be thankful for here at Groveport Elementary.
I want to personally thank the PTO for organizing our 1st Chili Cookoff - it was a big hit! Thanks to all the families who were able to enter their chili and attend that evening. I also want to thank the teachers, parents, and students for bringing in over 1600 food items for the Greater Groveport Food Pantry. I wish all of our families a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Artist of the Week
Isabela Zamarripa
For our first Mexican project, our 2nd graders replicate Amate paper paintings. The tree of life is a universal symbol that has been depicted in just about every culture for centuries. The roots connect us to the earth, and the branches connect us to the heavens. The colorful birds, are brightly colored, whimsical subjects we see in traditional and contemporary Mexican folk art. The students draw their own whimsical trees and birds, coloring them with oil pastels to get the famously bright colors of Mexican folk art. Isabela Zamarripa was selected by Mrs. Sperk for her fantastic project. Isabela is a 2nd grade student in Mrs. Stoever's class. This is her second year at Groveport Elementary. She has three older sisters. Isabela collects stickers and in her free time she enjoys drawing self-portraits and sunsets. Congratulations Isabela for being our Artist of the Week!
