From the bottom of this first year Principal's heart, THANK YOU to my friends and former colleagues for pouring into my teachers and students (and me) this year. We felt the love and encouragement all throughout the year. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone: The Ladies of Delta Kappa Gamma, Amanda Galbraith and Arkansas Property Management, Judy Vincent, Diane Rhodes and Shirley Scott, Sherri Coonts, Sandi Schuchardt, Julie James, Taylor Columbus, Beth Davis, Tera White, Barbara Vee, Nancy Willis, and Ragenea Dukes. I hope I didn't miss anyone. I'll be recruiting for next year shortly, but first---some rest!
Happy last day of school! It’s been a wonderful year of learning and fun. Here’s to a safe summer for our students, staff and families. What’s on your summer schedule? #pcssdproud #serveall

Thank you to Dr. Farr, Principal at Maumelle High School for spending time with our hornets to read a book and discuss how to prevent being a sour grape! He did very well on the test of, "do you know...."? as our Oak Grove Hornets were proud to talk about their big siblings at Maumelle High School. Thanks, Dr. Farr !
Thank you to everyone who made our 5th grade Promotion and KinderBrations a huge success! Special thanks to Joe Chesser and family for the rainy day cookout for our 5th graders. It's been a wonderful year, hornets!
