Hello Middle School families. I hope you had a great weekend. I am going to try something different this week/year. I have been asked by parents to keep the memos short and sweet. Let’s see how this works.
Book Fair: We will be looking for parents to sign up to volunteer at our book fair. Here is the Sign-Up Genius. Thank you in advance for your help and support.
Ordering Lunch: As a reminder, please order your child’s lunch in advance on the website FD MealPlanner so that our kitchen team knows how many lunches to prepare. This will help to minimize food waste and ensure all students have lunch. There is no charge for school lunch, however there is a charge for milk if not taken with a lunch. We also have small bottles of water available during lunch this year, but there is a charge for these. You can add funds to your myschoolbucks account if you plan to have your child purchase an individual milk or water.
School Council: The Middle School School Council is in need of parent members. Massachusetts public schools are required to have a school council. The school council is made up of parents, school personnel and a community member. School councils meet throughout the year to work on school improvement plans and other school related business. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact me wsalvatore@gdrsd.org and I will provide you with more details.
Middle School Play: This coming Fall, the Drama Club, in conjunction with Groton-Dunstable Community Education, will be holding auditions for Matilda Jr. Auditions for Matilda Jr. are Monday September 12 (last name A-L) and Tuesday September 13 (last name M-Z) in the PAC. Readings from the script will be posted in front of both offices for everyone to view in advance. Prepare a song you are comfortable singing, “Happy Birthday” if you wish! Participation in Matilda Jr. is inclusive to ALL students. Accommodations shall be made in order for all to participate. All who audition will be cast in the show. Any questions please contact Kim Faro (kfaro@gdrsd.org) or Lorien Corbelletti (lcorbelletti@gdrsd.org)
