Mr.Grolley is a fun, happy, humorous, straight forward man. He has an outlook on math and teaching unlike what many students have ever experienced before. Mr.Grolley is usually never seen without a smile on his face and a trick up his sleeve.  When interviewed with the question, “You’re stuck in a library for two days, what do you do?” He answered, “Well, if there were students in there with me, I would stage an overnight paintball war.”

Is + he / a – good(teacher)= x

Yes! Classes are moving swiftly and accurately in his new math classes. Mr.Grolley wants his students to have a good work ethic and enjoy coming to his class. He became a teacher, because his sixth grade teacher, Mr.G, made it fun to come to his class. Math was his best subject, so it was a clear choice to become a math teacher. Currently, however, his favorite subjects include gym and technology.

Mr.Grolley loves sports, the outdoors, and anything that keeps him active. His favorite sports team is the Oakland Raiders. Mr.Grolley’s favorite color is blue, just like the water he enjoys boating on. He also likes to eat seafood and listen to any music, except country.

Mr. Grolley spends a lot of time with his family. His wife is his “best friend and partner,” and he loves his kids. He admires that his daughter has a huge heart and that his son is a hard worker, but Mr.Grolley really adores that his youngest son is cuddler.

 

Mr.Grolley is extremely excited to be here. He really hopes that Galway will be his home for many years.
