Chamber Choir Performance
The GD Chamber Choir will give a public concert at 2 p.m., December 2, at St. Joseph's Church (Our Lady of Grace), 28 Tarbell Street, in Pepperell. The concert is free, but donations will be gratefully accepted. Proceeds will help the group get to Spain for an exciting singing tour next year. The concert will include an hour of music with some special surprises, including a choral piece written by a rising young composer with local roots. Refreshments will be provided in the church basement immediately following the concert. Please come out and support this talented group of singers!
News From the Guidance Office
If you applied Early Action and your initial materials were sent to colleges your first quarter grades will automatically be sent. All others, if you have applied to college make sure you are updating your Naviance account, that is the only way guidance knows to send your transcript and recommendation letters.
