Auditions for Mean Girls Jr. will be held on Tuesday, December 1st at 7 PM in the Band/Choir room. All students in grades 6-12 are welcome to audition regardless of experience. Students wishing to audition for a specific role can pick up audition materials from Mr. Brown in advance, but preparation is not required. All students will have a chance to read for various roles. Even if you are not interested in a main part, we could use plenty of people for other supporting parts. Anyone interested in being an assistant director, crew member, or light/sound crew is also invited to attend auditions. If you are in other winter activities, you are still more than welcome to join. We can be flexible with other commitments. A rehearsal schedule will be provided for the show leading up to our performances on March 6th and 7th.🌟

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!
