Mr. Donley's 8th Grade Tech Class has been busy working together to design their very own charcuterie board. This board is made of Hickory, and the students seasoned the wood with olive oil!
Yesterday we proudly celebrated our 5th grade students for completing the D.A.R.E. program! 👏 These students have spent the last several weeks learning how to make safe, healthy, and responsible choices—and today, they’ve crossed the finish line. 💪
Thank you to Chief Stacy Mayou, teachers - Janel Lone and Carrie Cole, and families for supporting these students along the way. Your encouragement makes all the difference!

Attention all Current 6th, 8th, and 10th Graders:
*Sway Concussion Testing Information*
We are beginning to plan for the 2025-26 Athletic Season. Every two years, we are required to have a baseline concussion test of student-athletes; therefore, we are getting back on our usual rotation of having incoming 7th, 9th, and 11th graders test each year. If your child is interested in participating in sports next school year, we would like to get the baseline test completed next week before school is out to alleviate the stress of trying to baseline test in the fall prior to sports beginning in early August.
Your child should have come home with a pink consent form yesterday about Sway, our concussion management program. Please sign and send the consent form back to school prior to testing next week. Your child MUST have a form signed and in our possession prior to testing! The test will take roughly 30 minutes, and your child only has to attend one session. To help the process go smoother, please have your child download Sway Medical App on his/her phone or device prior to attending a session.
Testing Dates and Times in the GHS Arena at 3:35pm:
- Monday, May 12th – Grade 10
- Tuesday, May 13th – Grade 6
- Wednesday, May 14th – Grade 8
If you cannot come on your designated day, please feel free to come on one of the other two dates. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Athletic Trainer, Mrs. Hubbart or Athletic Director, Mrs. Sperry and we would be more than happy to help you! Thank you for helping us get a head start for next year!

Good Luck, Middle School Track Stars!
The Groton Wrestling Team is doing a fundraiser for a fellow wrestling coach. Kasey Metz, the head wrestling coach in Sisseton, lost his home and all their belongings to a fire about 3 weeks ago. Thankfully no one was hurt but they lost everything. Wrestling is a tight knit group and other NEC wrestling teams are trying to help them out as well as us.
We are doing a board for this gorgeous GT corn hole board and bean bags. This would be perfect for a pregame tailgate or just family fun at home. The cost per square is $25 with all the proceeds going to the Metz family to help them get back on their feet. If you would like to purchase a square please comment below, or reach out to Darin, Troy, or Chris and we will get you signed up. You can either pay in cash or Chris has a Venmo account which is shared and we will get you taken care of. If possible please share and help this family out.
Attention all Current 6th - 11th Grade Girls and Parents:
