Welcome to the Grove Performing Arts Center and the Grove Public Schools production of Grease: School Edition. We are proud to present this full-scale production to the Grove community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our directors and assistant directors, Jeff Haynes, Andre Jones, and Vera Yirsa. They have given countless hours to provide this opportunity for our students and without their guidance, this great production would never happen. Another integral part of GHS Productions is Grove Education Foundation for Excellence. For years the generous GEFFE donors have paid for the production rights for all of our shows.
I would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to you, members of the Grove community! This beautiful facility is a testament to the wonderful community we are privileged to be a part of. It is an example of the great experiences GPS can provide students when community patrons rally together to support new facilities. As Grove Public Schools continue to grow it is important that we provide facilities that allow the space for our students to thrive! Without both your emotional and financial support, learning opportunities like this wouldn’t be possible for our students. Thank you for continuing to support Grove Public Schools!
To the cast and crew, I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS! Your teachers, administrators, and board members are proud of your hard work, dedication, and the talents you show on stage. Break a leg! On behalf of all of us at Grove Public Schools, we invite you to come together with us and enjoy the show!
Sincerely,
Pat Dodson
Superintendent, Grove Public Schools
