In recognition of Veterans Day Tuesday, the students and staff again participated in the Jeans for Troops or Sweats (pajamas) for Soldiers. All staff and students who participated made a monetary donation, which will be donated to local entities that support our veterans. Over $450 was raised and will be donated to the Columbus Grove VFW. 

 

We also started each morning this week on the announcements with a local veteran leading the entire student body in the Pledge of Allegiance. Many thanks to the following veterans for coming to school early this week to lead our staff and students in the Pledge: Todd Hoffman, Nick Gilgenbach, Doug Alt, Jody Sharrits and Cliff Collar, and Jon Witteborg. Thank you to all our veterans who have served our country and allow us to have the many freedoms we enjoy! 

A few days ago, it was announced that Mr. Brodwolf’s STEM class was awarded a $5,000 STEM Classroom Grant through the Ohio STEM Learning Network (OSLN), funded by Batelle. The James Earl Belch Charitable Trust donated a check of $5,000 to match the grant, and contribute to the success of our students in the classroom. Thank you to the James Earl Belch Trust for being a proud partner of Columbus Grove Schools and supporting the academic development of our students.
