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). We are thankful for these awesome educators! ❤️🍏#OneLowndes #TheGrove

🌍✨ 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. 📖💻❤️

Good evening parents! This is a reminder about tonight's (Thursday, August 14) FFA parent/student meeting at 6 pm. Please enter from the front of PGM. We will meet in the cafeteria.
Today, our administrators took the time to meet with our students to review PBIS expectations, helping everyone remember what it means to Be Safe, Be Accountable, Be Involved, and Be a Leader! ⭐️
These conversations are all about making our school a positive community where everyone can thrive. ❤️
We are excited to see our students already showing what it means to SAIL the Viking Way! #PBIS #GoGrove
