Good morning!
Due to the visibility and road conditions, the Groton Area School District will be closed on Wednesday, November 20, 2024. Please stay safe if you have to be out today.

The Introduction to Sports Medicine class welcomed students in 3rd and 4th grade over to the arena today to teach them about the importance of physical activity and different things they can do to be physically active.
The older students might have had just as much fun as the younger students!

🌟We are trying something new this year by having a Groton Tiger vs Tiger Wrestling Scrimmage for the public. It’s a chance for the public to have an early sneak peak at the wrestlers and a chance for the wrestlers to get a match-like competition with the new rules. The kids will be divided up into two teams where they will compete.
🤼This is free for anyone to attend, but we only ask that people in attendance bring packages of Gatorade, Powerade, water, electrolyte packets, or granola bars all which will be used by the wrestlers at various tournaments throughout the season.
🥣We will also be serving a free will donation chili feed. The chili will be served starting at 5 and the wrestling begins at 6. This all takes place in the old gym on Tuesday, November 26.
Please share with friends and family. Hope to see you all there!🐯

Mrs. Lone's fifth-grade students are studying physical changes and states of matter in their science curriculum. To highlight the significance of heat in these transformations, they are engaging in a soldering project. The students are tasked with creating a robot pin, which involves soldering its components together, allowing them to wear their finished creations. Additionally, they are utilizing solder to construct a bridge that will enable them to complete an electrical circuit.




Mrs. Dinger's second grade science class has been learning about dams. Today they had the opportunity to build their own.
