Annual Flag Day grand entrance at buses this morning and for helping hold the flag ~ thanks to Mr. Kimpton!
4th Grade Breakfast Celebration with their families and teachers! Class of 2034! Go be awesome in Middle School, and be sure to visit Swallow Union :)
Mr. Kimpton spent time with our fourth-grade students, leading a thoughtful discussion about Flag Day and the meaning behind the Pledge of Allegiance. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment to our school community help bring history and civics to life for our students.
It was great to welcome back former Math Coordinator Karen Gartland today at Swallow Union! Although she retired last year, she clearly couldn't stay away from helping students become mathematicians. Karen spent time with third graders playing the math game Which Number is Closer?, engaging students in mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and plenty of fun along the way. The students loved the experience, and it was wonderful to have a GDRSD legend back in our midst! #GDRSDChat
Students enjoyed our annual visit from Mrs. Debreceni of the Swallow Union Library! She shared a wonderful read-aloud and introduced students to the exciting summer reading programs and activities available through the Dunstable Public Library. We are grateful for our continued partnership in fostering a love of reading both in and out of the classroom.
Our fourth-grade students from Swallow Union and Florence Roche recently had an exciting opportunity to visit Marian Stoddard Middle School as part of their transition to fifth grade!
SHOUT OUT to all our students in this year's play - the sneak peek performance truly highlights their hard work and determination to perform and have fun - it always amazes me to see how much they shine in their roles and with one another. Thank you, Jon Swift and Tracey O'Neill - you are remarkable!!
SHOUT OUT: KO and KL students shining in their Music Informance under the wonderful teaching of Ms. Hettinger! It is always evident how much fun you have teaching music to our newest musicians! Thank you for opening your classroom to all of the families so they can show their musical knowledge and voices.
A huge thank you to everyone who dedicated their time, energy, and effort to making Field Day such a tremendous success once again this year! The students had an amazing time, creating memories, sharing laughs, and enjoying a day full of fun with their friends and classmates. We are so grateful to all who helped make this special day possible!
Our 4th graders had an exciting and educational field trip to the Tsongas Industrial History Center in Lowell! Students explored the experiences of immigrants who came to work in the Lowell textile mills and learned how immigration helped shape the city's growth and culture.
Kindergarten students dove into a hands-on enrichment experience, exploring aquatic bug life through engaging discovery activities made possible by the support of our PTO.
Third graders enjoyed their annual field trip to Williams Barn, where they stepped back in time and experienced colonial life through hands-on activities like cooking, chores, and traditional games.
Today, we celebrated the success of our holiday Toy Drive with a special pizza lunch (finally fit it in) alongside SRO Robert Wayne and fellow Groton Police Department and Dunstable Police Department officers. The class that donated the most toys earned this well-deserved celebration - congratulations to Mrs. Jankowski’s class!
Students also enjoyed a surprise visit from K9 Baine, who stopped by to help thank everyone for their generosity and support in making the Toy Drive such a success.

Talent Show showcasing our 4th graders' talents! Well done!
High School and Middle School Connections Students visited Swallow Union, Florence Roche, and Boutwell classrooms for their spring Day of Connection, focused on Neurodiversity Acceptance. The High Schoolers and Middle Schoolers led read-alouds and conversations with the younger students centered around Neurodiversity and the importance of celebrating the many differences that make us all human. This meaningful opportunity is intended to foster empathy, understanding, and leadership among our 8th-12th-grade Connections students while also helping to promote awareness, acceptance, and kindness in the early childhood and elementary communities.

In PE this week, students fully immersed themselves in one of the most anticipated events of the year...Scooter City! This annual favorite transforms the gym into a vibrant, student-centered “city,” where creativity and movement come together.
