Congratulations to our volleyball coaches and players on their win last night in Region 1A! We just got word that we will play #4 Clark/Willow Lake in Watertown at 7pm on Tuesday, November 10th in the SoDak 16 Round! Go Tigers! 🐯🏐💛
We kicked off the week Monday night with a free community yoga session with Rachael Crank. A big thank you to Rachael for sharing her time and talents with us! Together, we were able to raise $160 for NMDP – Be The Match!
Today, our HOSA members had the opportunity to deliver gift baskets to local healthcare professionals as a small way to say THANK YOU for everything they do. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful healthcare businesses and professionals right here in our Groton Area communities!
We've also loved seeing everyone get involved with our dress-up days, and we still have more fun things planned for the rest of the week!
HOSA Week is a great reminder of how fortunate we are to be part of a community that supports our students, our future healthcare professionals, and one another. Thank you, Groton Area!

Just a quick reminder that our Veterans Day Program is quickly approaching!
We will be hosting a breakfast for our veterans from 7:30–8:30 AM at the Elementary School. All veterans and their families are welcome to attend.
At 1:00 PM, our Veterans Day Program will take place in the arena at the High School. Letters with dismissal plans from the High School will be sent home with students this week.
