Staff and recent Alumni gathered on Wednesday afternoon to discuss life after GD. Alums shared on what aspects of their time at GD really benefitted them and what aspects of college life they felt under-prepared for. We plan to make this an annual event.<br />

Important Update: Vaping And Its Dangers</h3>

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />With the rise in popularity of e-cigarettes and vaporizers, along with the prevalence of vape shops popping up on seemingly every corner, we wanted to share some critical information. In the past two weeks we have noticed a tremendous increase in reports of "vape use". The purpose of this correspondence is to inform and educate, solicit help, provide resources, and outline school consequences for students who are caught vaping, or found in possession of vape products on school grounds or a school-related function. In communicating with several colleagues throughout the state, I can tell you that this is not isolated to our school or geographic area. With permission I have incorporated some of the information shared to parents in other districts in this entry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">We have witnessed an uptick in activity at GDRHS. This is not a matter we are taking lightly. Going forward, in accordance with our </span>handbook<b style="color: #333333;">,</b><span style="color: #333333;"> students in possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia (including vapes) will be suspended from school, no exceptions. Further, this is a violation of the MIAA chemical health rules and will result in loss of eligibility for a portion of the season. </span></span><br />

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Vaping is the act of inhaling a vapor produced by an electronic vaporizer or e-cigarette. Pictured above are but a few examples of vapes. The vapor can contain nicotine along with substances far worse. The liquids that are vaporized come in many different flavors; some emitting a fruit like odor, and students are led to believe vape juice is not harmful. </span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Eerily similar to cigarette advertising generations ago, vapes are often marketed as innocuous and/or a healthier alternative to smoking. Not surprisingly, adolescents are a target audience. Vapes can be used quickly and often without detection since little residual odor results from vaping, and they are usually small and easily disguised.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Vape juice is not regulated by the FDA, and therefore we often don’t know what is in the juice, nor do we know the long-term effects of inhaling these chemicals, particularly on the developing lungs and brains of teenagers.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Vaporizers/e-cigarettes (“vape pens”) come in all different shapes. Some common styles we see look like a thick pen, a stylus for an iPad, a flash drive, or a small flask with a round chimney coming off the top. The devices are tiny and can easily be hidden on a person or blend in with standard backpack items. Like cigarettes, stores cannot sell vaping items to people under the age of 18. However, students report buying the devices online or from older siblings or friends. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is a considerable concern for a product called diacetyl that can found in vape products. <a href="http://www.lung.org/about-us/blog/2016/07/popcorn-lung-risk-ecigs.html" style="color: #cc6666; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: blue;"><b>According to the American Lung Association Website,</b></span></a> "over a decade ago, workers in a microwave popcorn factory were sickened by breathing in diacetyl—the buttery-flavored chemical in foods like popcorn, caramel and dairy products. While this flavoring may be tasty, it was linked to deaths and hundreds of cases of bronchiolitis obliterans, a serious and irreversible lung disease. As a result, the major popcorn manufacturers removed diacetyl from their products, but some people are still being exposed to diacetyl - not through food flavorings as a worksite hazard, but through e-cigarette vapor."</span></div>

Please see the summary of the event below written by Kirsten Sjoberg.<br />

They worked with </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Adventure In Adventure Out </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">at NARA Park in Acton to grow the skill set need for their positions, as well as brainstorming for the upcoming year.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One the bus ride to the park, the group split into five groups by position (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Student Representative). They discussed with the newcomers what the responsibilities of the position where, gave advice on how to do the best job, and shared our goals for the year. Each group then shared their favorite pieces of advice with the whole council.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once at the park, we immediately started with ice breaking games, like Evolution, a form of rock-paper-scissors, and Human Bingo, a questionnaire style game. We then split into three random groups. Each group went to a different area of the park to complete further activities.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All of the groups did one more team bonding game, and then started an exercise on effective communication. After forming teams, one person from each was blindfolded and directed around vocally by the other two. After we had a discussion on communication. This lead into a discussion about balance, one of the core values outlined this year. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After this, all the groups joined together for lunch. In between bites, the class governments discussed among themselves their goals and plans for the year. After pizza, they had one last activity to promote teamwork. The activity involved throwing balls into various bins in an attempt to get the maximum number in. Initially, the eight teams competed with each other, standing in front each other's bins, and stealing balls. However, they soon realized that working together was the best way to accomplish the goal they all shared.

Ryan's Story is a presentation that will be shared with our 9th and 10th grade students during the day on Thursday. The parent presentation is not the same as what students will see and provides a much more practical presentation on lessons learned from a horrific experience. John Halligan has spoken to over a million students and their parents since he began his campaign to stop aggressive social behaviors amongst young people. We hope to see you there.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L2ZDa0Lfg-c/Wbf8IIxaqRI/AAAAAAAAAeo/ldIE-bRTnIU6N-XjMbilm8_mNPSbFFcBQCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/download-1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L2ZDa0Lfg-c/Wbf8IIxaqRI/AAAAAAAAAeo/ldIE-bRTnIU6N-XjMbilm8_mNPSbFFcBQCK4BGAYYCw/s400/download-1.jpg" /></a></span></div>

Mr. Murphy accepted the offer <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1582743518" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Thursday</span></span> and met with our incoming Freshmen class <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1582743519" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span>afternoon at the MS.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
I just wanted to make sure that all parties were aware of expectations and bussing for the last two days of school. Although students may get dismissed without penalty after they complete their exams, Friday is scheduled as a full day of school. Busses will run at normal times.<br />
<br />
Monday is scheduled as a release day. On Monday all high school students who have work to be made up, have detentions that have not been served or have scheduled attendance appeals are expected to be in school. Any student who has completed all of their work and has taken all exams are not required to be present. Bussing will be provided as usual so that any student required to attend will have transportation.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
<br />
Mike Woodlock<br />

Congratulations to the Groton-Dunstable Ultimate Frisbee Team for its strong showing at last weekend's Massachusetts High School Division III Ultimate Team Championships in Northampton, Mass. GD's mixed team finished ninth out of the 21 teams competing in the tournament, compiling a 3-1 record, including winning it's last three matches in a row. </div>

GD's performance in this year's tournament was particularly impressive given that only six of the 20 team members had competed in Ultimate before this season. The team was led by Captains Jennifer Kenney ('17), Patrick O'Reilly ('18) and Zach Miller ('18). Special thanks to coaches Richard Dorff and Bart Yeager for volunteering their time to guide the team this year. </div>
