To The Citizens of Groton,
My name is Philip Marino, and I am a Boy Scout in Troop 3 Groton.
For my Eagle Project, I have created a documentary of the Municipal Building Committee and their goal of determining the future use of the Prescott School Building.

Dear Groton-Dunstable Community,
I agree our district needs a comprehensive long-term plan. But, let’s please not allow the current lack of that plan to delay restoring much needed services.
Could we take a break from the slides and statistics, from the comparisons, test scores and levels for a...
Dear Editor:
Where were the elderly and low-income people of Groton at last week’s town meeting? It was sad to watch those spendthrifts spend the town into oblivion. We all want the town’s children to have the best education possible, but to hopelessly mortgage one’s self to do so seems sort of...
