Hello GHS Families!
This week marks 6 weeks into the semester. I encourage you to check your child’s progress on Alma and/or reach out to your child’s teachers if you have any questions or concerns. This week we celebrated September’s Student of the Month with Jackson Boivin being nominated for the middle school and Colby Shannon for the high school. We also celebrated our first Staff Soaring Eagle of the Month award with Mr. Blodgett being this month’s recipient for his willingness to above and beyond for our school. Congratulations to Jackson, Colby and Mr. Blodgett!
Today students in 7th and 8th grade participated in the WYLD program. With WYLD, participants share time in the great outdoors, exploring different environments and activities that provide opportunities for experiential learning for physical education. Seventh and eighth graders will cycle through multiple groups throughout the year. In addition, high school students attended the Touch a Trade fair in Berlin today to explore various trade occupations.
Don’t forget next week Picture Day is on October 7th. Packets have been sent home. If you need an additional packet, please contact the office. Also a reminder students do not have school on October 10th for teacher professional development day or October 13th, Columbus Day.
Have a great weekend!

Hello GHS Families!
Week Five has been another event filled week with two major field trips. The middle school attended their annual overnight hiking trip at the AMC on Thursday and Friday. Despite the rain on Thursday, the students were having a blast and the fall foliage is at its peak!
On September 24th, high school students in Mrs. Guay’s Introduction to Algebra class went to the Waumbek golf course where students learned how math is used to operate a golf course. The students had the opportunity to play golf and interview the staff. The Waumbek also generously provided lunch for everyone. They had a beautiful day and did not have to contend with any rain. By all reports the students had a great time, with many playing golf for the first time!
Next week marks 6 weeks into the marking period. Please check your child’s progress on Alma. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teachers. The end of the first quarter is coming up on October 31st. Also, just a reminder that School Picture Day is October 7th. Students will be receiving school picture packets next week. Please be on the lookout for the packets.
I hope you have a great weekend!

Hello, GHS Families! We just wanted to let you know that we conducted two drills today. We started with a Fire Drill, and then performed our bi-annual Off-Site Evacuation Drill where students walked to our designated "safe location" and then back to the school. A bus was available for anyone who experienced difficulty walking and, by all accounts, the drills were a success!

Thank you for a great first week at GHS! The students transitioned smoothly back into school routines, and the hallways and classrooms were filled with positive energy. Just a couple of reminders that once students are dropped off at school, they need to stay on school grounds for liability purposes. Students are allowed in the building at 7:35 am through the back alley entrance only. If you have any questions, please contact the office. We are looking forward to a great year. Have a wonderful long weekend!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Frank
