Congratulations to our Groton
TST BOCES Career and Tech Students of the
months of April & May!

ATTENTION MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES!
We are excited to announce the following three week summer experience for current middle school students. The program will run from July 14th to the 31st. We will meet Monday through Thursday from 8:15-10:15 am. Students will engage in digital storytelling, podcasting, photography, storyboarding, and scriptwriting to share their experiences and interests. They will explore and create their perspectives on life in Groton as a community member and student. Come for a week, or come for all three!
Students who are interested in reading, writing, photography, podcasting, media arts and/or communication will enjoy the freedom to tell their own stories through hands-on activities and experiences in the STEAM lab, hosted by Mrs. Laurie Williams and Mr. Mick LeVick.

🥶 50-degree weather in May?
📅 Only 17 days left of school?
You know what that means...
🛌 It's time for a last-minute Pajama Day!
🗓️ Thursday, May 22nd (that’s TOMORROW)
🎉 Come cozy and comfy, GES!

Room 3 was full of excitement during Miss Teachout’s solo week, which soared with a fun Redhawks theme! Each day, the students learned through books, slideshow presentations, crafts, and movement activities all about the Red Hawk - our new school mascot. Miss Teachout planned special activities like reading informational texts about redhawks, making redhawk headbands, flying paper airplanes imitating how redhawks fly, and reviewing the basic needs of a redhawk while participating in movement activities. The children loved showing their school spirit and exploring the world of birds in a way that made learning feel like play. It was a special week that ended with a visit from our very own Groton Redhawk mascot!
