Out of an abundance of caution Groton-Dunstable will be closed today, Monday, January 23rd. We have just received word that power lines are down due to weather conditions near the high school, with the need to re-route some motorists. The conditions on the roads are variable. However the temperature is forecasted to continue to drop and the snow is forecasted to return, heavy at times. Things during dismissal are expected to be the worst and may result in unsafe conditions.

Today, Mrs Pelletier’s PE classes enjoyed a trail walk. They discussed mindfulness and using your five senses to help you be present in the moment. They also learned box breathing to calm their bodies. The skills are all great to practice as a family through the holiday season. Ask your students to teach you as a great family connection point!
