Dear Parents,
Fall is upon us and our annual Trick or Treat for UNICEF drive will take place on Halloween night, October 31st. The Groton Woman’s Club will distribute UNICEF boxes on Monday, Oct. 24th, to students in pre-school as well as grades K through 6 in Groton and Dunstable.
Quite simply,...
Dear Editor:
If you have, you will most likely see a pastoral setting with farm animals roaming grass covered pastures, living a peaceful, and humane existence. We are so fortunate to live in New England, and in particular Massachusetts, where industrial farming does not exist, unlike in many other...
To the Editor,
The Groton Cable Advisory Committee and the Groton Channel, Groton’s public and educational access television channel, wish to thank everyone who attended our Open House the evening of October 6 at the Channel Studios at the High School. Attendees were able to tour the Channel’s...
Dear Editor,

Dear Editor:
Among others there are two things foremost in my mind right now.
1. You published a letter from me that suggested the budget for the football team be separated from the school budget. I suggest the real reason it can’t be separated is that the financing is donated as a tax deduction....
Dear Editor:
Just a short note of thanks to all who helped on October 4th to return a herd of ponies and one goat to their barn on Gratuity Road. It seems the goat had figured out the locking mechanism on the gate. This was obviously a well-planned break-out.
Thanks to Linda and Terry...
To the Editor:
Voting NO on Question 2 is not a vote against charter schools. You can be a big believer in charter schools, but be against this overreaching ballot question.
