Mock Job Interviews

Students in Mrs. McNulty's 21st Century classes yesterday took part in Mock Job Interviews. A dozen teachers gave up their prep times to serve as the interviewers. Great life lessons and skill building!

GD Students Donate Their Efforts in Service to Others

As part of our School Improvement Goal this year, we have been trying to highlight GD students who are committed to Service Projects inside and outside of school.  Its amazing how much our students do on a regular basis that goes unrecognized.  Our amazing Nurse, Mrs. Shea is working with a hist of G-D high school and middle school students to raise money and awareness for St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

Eighteen students from Groton-Dunstable Regional School District are on a mission, to help kids feel like kids and not patients. 

They are members of the St. Jude Performance Team and on Saturday, March 18th, they will participate in the 18th annual Fitness for a Cure gala event for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.    

The mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Fitness for a Cure and these kids from Groton-Dunstable help support founder of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Danny Thomas’ dream of “Finding Cures, Saving Children.” The theme of this year’s event is dedicated to Danny's dream.

If you would like to donate to the team or on behalf of a student please visit:

Spring Cleaning?

Did you know that nearly all of your textiles, regardless of condition can be recycled? For his Eagle Scout project, Ian Peterson will be running a textile recycling drive in conjunction with the Groton Recycling Committee. During the week of March 13th to 17th, he will be collecting donations in the front office. Additionally, he will be at the Prescott School from 8am to 2pm on March 11th and 18th collecting donations. Please look at the flyer attached below for a more detailed description of what is accepted, but basically unless it is wet, or hazardous waste, it is recyclable! That means that all of your unwanted or broken clothing, old curtains, even tattered shoes and stuffed animals can be recycled. If you have any questions, contact Ian atidpeterson411@gmail.com. Spread the word to your friends, and clean out your closets!

Student Writing Contest

ALL ARE WELCOME

Writing Contest

The Groton Board of Selectmen have proposed welcoming all residents and visitors to the town of Groton with entrance signs that say, “All are welcome.” This simple message communicates the importance of diversity and inclusion and supports the core values of the town. If their proposal is approved, there will be a ceremony to erect these signs, and they would love students to be involved.

Our students are the future of our two towns, and their voices and perspectives are critical to maintaining a culture that embraces all people for who they are. We are now accepting entries for the “All are welcome,” writing contest. There will be 4 categories:

• Grades PK-2
• Grades 3-5
• Grades 6-8
• Grades 9-12

All entries will be reviewed, with winners in each category receiving a gift card, the opportunity to read or present their entry at the Spring Groton town meeting and/or at the ceremony, and a pizza or a donut party for their class.

Prompt:

What does “All are welcome” mean to you? After thinking about the importance of valuing diversity and everyone in our community, write a response that answers the question.

We welcome writing in various formats including:

• Exhibits to include a written product
• Formal letters, to the Board of Selectmen
• Non-fiction narratives, such as accounts of an event
• Essays, blogs, or editorials
• Poetry or visual poetry
• Artworks
• Video or audio recording

All entries must contain:

• Student first and last name
• Grade and classroom teacher/ELA teacher

Submit entries to your school office by March 29, 2017.

Winning entries in each category will be announced by April 12, 2017.
