Our PTO organized a door decorating contest this month. There were some very creative doors, but here are the top 3!
Thank you to all the teachers for participating. The kids loved the doors and they made our building so festive! Thanks to the PTO for organizing this event and choosing the winners. I'm sure it wasn't easy - there were so many creative ideas!

Artist of the Week
Jameson Stilson
Our 3rdgraders were introduced to the artist Paul Klee. We discussed his bright and abstract paintings. We also learned about landscapes and cityscapes. The students used their imagination to create an abstract land and cityscape. They colored them using oil pastels. Jameson Stilson was selected by Mrs. Sperk for his neat and creative project. Jameson is a 3rd grade student in Mrs. Monhollen's class. He has been attending Groveport Elementary since kindergarten. Jameson has two sisters, Aliya who is in Kindergarten and Megan who is a junior. He loves football, basketball and art. In art, his favorite medium is clay.
Congratulations Jameson for being our Artist of the Week!

We are truly blessed here at GE to have such caring and kind staff and students!
