Welcome to new families and welcome back to returning families! Fall is such an exciting time and GCS is a perfect place for children and families to make new friends. As the Board of Directors, we work closely with the staff at GCS to plan a variety of events throughout the year. We embrace the community feel of the school as we plan gatherings and fun opportunities to work together to enrich the school with helping hands and fundraising.
I am happy to announce that our Parent Social /Annual General Meeting Night is coming up on Monday, October 3rd at 7:30 PM in the Big Room at GCS! This will be a fun time for parents to meet and mingle with the Board of Directors and learn about what we do. We hope you can make it! Please RSVP or email any questions to boardofdirectors@grotoncommunityschool.org.
We are also happy to announce our upcoming 12th Annual Groton Community Home Tour on Saturday, November 19th (inclement weather date is November 20th)! The Home Tour has become a signature event in the community and is such a fun and unique way to share the day with friends and family, visiting beautiful homes while doing some holiday shopping! It is also the school’s largest fundraiser for the year.
This event would not be possible without the help and support of the community as well as the GCS Board of Directors, staff, and families. There are many different opportunities to be part of this spectacular fundraiser, including helping to organize the event, spreading the word, baking, volunteering on the day of the event and, of course, attending the Tour! Every year we are especially in need of volunteers to help in the homes for a few hours on the day of the tour. Volunteers in homes are also welcome to tour the other homes with a 1/2 price ticket! For additional details about the tour and/or volunteering, please visit our GCS School Website or email hometour@grotoncommunityschool.org.
As always, we welcome your feedback, questions, and participation anytime! Please talk to any member of the Board of Directors or email me at boardofdirectors@grotoncommunityschool.org.
We are all looking forward to another fun-filled and exciting year at GCS! Thank you for your support!
Best wishes,
Jenn Greenwood, President, Board of Directors
