PRINCIPAL MESSAGE
The school has not been the same without the senior energy they provided last week. However, we can now turn to next year and those who will build upon the positive path the seniors have created. We are already planning some improvements to the campus and building to honor the respect our students have given to them. In addition, we are working hard at ensuring the schedules for students will be ready for mid August. We will also be looking into maximising our resources to best serve our students.
Two very critical changes for the upcoming year are the graduation requirements of the Civics course (Term Class) for the Class of 2028 and beyond and also students needing to take a PE course (Term Class) each year. Over the next 2 years, we will be doing our best to ensure students satisfy these requirements.
Next week we will see our underclassmen race to the finish with Awards Day, Final exams and even a fishing trip!!
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.
