PGM Sources of Strength kicked off the year with a campaign to Get the Word Out. Every student was given a glow-in-the-dark duck in one of the colors of the SOS Strength Wheel. The ducks are a reminder that the Grove we all "flock together" and we shine for each other. #SourcesOfStrength #BetterTogether
Dr. Sherman's students have been exploring potential energy, kinetic energy, and simple machines through hands-on activities. They constructed rubber band-powered cars, learning about energy transformations and the principles of forces, motion, and engineering design. 🚘
The 8th and 6th grade art classes learned color theory by mixing and sorting punch. 🎨 #ArtAtTheGrove #ColorTheory
Students in Mr. Canelón's life science class have been researching cellular structures and cellular organelle functions. Students were challenged to choose a project to demonstrate understanding of these topics. They chose to create a virtual model of a cell and provide a virtual tour of their cell and all of its organelles and functions. #STEM #ThreeCs
On Friday we celebrated our staff members of the month for August!! Each was surprised by our admin team with a Viking helmet and cape to celebrate their victories in the areas of Operations (Ms. Blair Williams), Curriculum & Instruction (Mrs. Jennifer Dunn), Educational Technology (Mr. Matt Deal) and Student Services (Coach Jared Strackbein).

As part of their study of environmental issues across the Middle East, Mrs. Kiefhaber’s social studies students conducted an experiment to desalinate water, used Galileo to research water-related conflicts, and shared their findings in infographics where they linked sources from their research! #CrossCurricularLearning #STEM #ThreeCs 💦🌍💻
🌍✨ When learning is hands-on (and tasty), the results are unforgettable! Our 6th graders explored the 3 types of tectonic plate boundaries through a sweet science lab. #STEMPower #LoveLearning
Our school library is a busy place! Within the last two weeks, every ELA class in the building has come for media center orientation, where students explored reading-related apps like Destiny, Sora, and Beanstack and checked out books of their choice. 📖💻❤️
Save the date! Picture day is Thursday, September 4. 📸
Mrs. Soldani's 7th graders analyzed different sections of a short story for narrative techniques and explored how those techniques helped develop themes. Groups then worked together to determine the overall theme of the story and track its development. 🧠✏️ #Teamwork
