PRINCIPAL MESSAGE
May Madness continues and there was quite a frenzy happening in our school this week. Seniors are done, sport teams are winding down their regular seasons and some will be winding up for playoffs, many students making plans for prom and the long weekend, and the underclasses all advance a year in their leadership journey. The Class of 2027 are now the leaders of GD and they have a track record of being great role models in serving each other and our community.
Seniors and parents/guardians of seniors, check the messages from me(and the link below) which include all the details about senior week, expectations and graduation. There have been many people involved in making these events special and I am looking forward to playing a small role in honoring the Class of 2026!
Make smart choices. Take care of business. Enjoy the ride
We are GD!

CLASS OF 2029 CLOTHING DRIVE FUNDRAISER
Are you holding onto clothing that is taking up space in your closet? If so, the GDRHS Class of 2029 is giving you a chance to make some room in your closet while supporting a great cause.
Starting today, we are holding a Clothing Drive sponsored by the Epilepsy Foundation of New England. We’ll be collecting clothing/shoes/linens at the Groton-Dunstable High School to raise money for the Class of 2029. Each pound of clothing collected will provide funds for the Class of 2029 and help support the Epilepsy Foundation in their fight to stop seizures.
Please see the attached list of acceptable items to get you started. All donated textiles (shoes, clothing, linens) need to be in tied plastic trash bags(13 gallon & up) or boxes that are closed or have tops. (no need to separate the items.) Items cannot be wet, moldy, or contaminated in any way.
Each full trash bag (13-gallon kitchen trash bag & up) counts as 1 bag. We cannot count any bags as 2 bags because they are larger than others.
Donation bags can be brought in by your student to either room 112 or L24 up until Friday, June 12th during the school day. We will also have a community drop off day, Friday, June 5th, 4:00 to 6:30 pm at the front entrance of the high school.
Every bag counts, please help us reach our goal of 500 bags. We hope you will be able to participate.
