What a way to kick off Homecoming Week! Perfect weather, a community that showed up in full force, and students who brought the energy and Granville spirit!

The GEF Homecoming Community Kick-Off Party and Parade was a huge success, bringing neighbors, families, alumni, and students together to cheer, celebrate, and show our Blue Ace pride. From the parade down Broadway to the pep rally and party at Granville Elementary School, there was so much to smile about.

Thank you to the students, volunteers, organizers, and everyone who came out to make it such a wonderful evening. You helped turn school spirit into community spirit, and that is something worth celebrating.

At convocation last week, GEF Board President, Kevin Holtsberry, was thrilled to present the 2026 Jody VanTine Outstanding Educator Award to GES teacher Jeaneen Durham 🎉

This prestigious award, established in memory of Jody VanTine, honors educators in Granville Exempted Village Schools who have made significant and distinguished contributions to the growth and education of our students. Jody VanTine was a beloved second grade teacher whose dedication to her students continues to inspire us today.

One of Ms. Durham's nominations stated, "What stands out most about Ms. Durham is how deeply she cares about every student as an individual while also creating a classroom culture centered around kindness, friendship, respect, and growth. She recognizes that every child learns differently and responds differently, and she puts genuine effort into helping each student become the best version of themselves."

Please join us in congratulating Ms. Durham!! 👏
