This Thursday is a CGE PTA Mondo's Night, and it's an extra special one! Stop by for delicious food, balloon animals, AND for the first time ever CGE personalized pop-its will be on sale from 5-7 PM. Sounds like a great way to spend a Thursday!!!!



Citrus Grove Elementary is gearing up to start accepting donations of non-perishable canned or boxed foods to play along with the upcoming football championship game.
Let’s use this huge sporting event to fight hunger in our community.
Bring in a canned/boxed food item (or more) and students will earn “points” for their favorite football team – Cincinnati Bengals or Los Angeles Rams.
Let’s see if our points predict the real winner! Food will be donated to a local food bank.
