Turtle Season
A message from Darcy Donald
Turtle activity is increasing with the warm and wet weather. Nesting activity will begin in earnest the last week of May into mid June.
Please alert your students and faculty to watch for turtles in the parking lots, under parked cars, and crossing roadways. If they encounter a turtle trapped by curbing, please ask them to gently lift the turtle over the barrier, always moving a turtle the direction it is heading.
If an injured turtle is found, please email grotonturtles@gmail.com immediately.

On Wednesday, May 22 GD Unified Track and Field competed in the 2019 MIAA/ Special Olympics Massachusetts Central Sectional with 14 other schools. Our team placed sixth with an overall score of 93. It was a beautiful, sunny day with all athletes receiving ribbons for running and field events. Next week many of our athletes will compete in the State Championship Meet at Milford High School. Congratulations to 2019 GD Unified Track and Field Team.

Open Mic Write up...
by Taryn Emerle....
GDMHS hosted its third Open Mic Night of the school year, featuring almost 20 diverse acts. It brought out one of the largest crowds we’ve seen this year, which was great fundraising for our upcoming Disney trip. The creativity and talent displayed throughout the show made it unmissable, and we’d like to say a big thank you to all those who attended.
As junior Josh Booth said of Open Mic Night, “It’s a great place to try your hand at new songs and styles, because it’s such a positive environment.” Since the audience at Open Mic is notoriously very supportive and encouraging, it’s the perfect place to show your creativity.
GD’s music program is kicking it into full gear fundraising for the Disney Trip in May and the Spain Trip in 2020, with the recent Open Mic and chamber’s Fundraiser on March 30th. This event will feature performances from GD’s own Jazz Band, and a silent auction. Tickets are available at http://www.gdchamberchorus.org/ , so please come out and support our music program!
Encouraging students to develop a spirit of inquiry…
