When parking in the school parking lots make sure you are not blocking other cars in.  Staff and students need to leave during the school day and their cars have been blocked because of inappropriate parking.  People have appointments that they are trying to get too. 

Wednesday is LifeTouch Picture Day.  

Celebrate National FFA Week with the Groton FFA Chapter this week.  There will be dress up days each day.  Any student can dress up and we will have prizes for the best dressed student.  Outfits must be school appropriate and follow school policy.  

Hat Day will be all week.  Students can wear a hat each day for $1 or pay for the entire week for $4.  Students who wish to wear a hat will pay a FFA member in the library before school each day and pick up a special sticker that they must wear to show they have paid to wear a hat.  Hats must be school appropriate to wear.

Dress Up Days
Tuesday - Redneck Day
Wednesday - Camo Day
Thursday - Overall/Bibs Day
Friday - Flannel Friday

Juniors and Seniors--if you are interested in volunteering as a summer reader at the elementary library please contact Mrs. Schwan.  We are looking for 7-8 students who would be willing to spend time with the elementary students 1 time for approximately 30-45 minutes reading and facilitating an activity.  This is a great opportunity for those of you going into education and for anyone looking to add to your volunteer hours.
