Dear Leland & Gray Families,

I hope this message finds you well. As we move into the upcoming week, our school schedule will follow a typical routine with no changes anticipated. Students should plan for a full week of regular classes and activities.

This is also an exciting stretch for our co-curricular programs, as both our middle and high school basketball teams are in full swing. We have a number of home and away games throughout the week, and we encourage families to come out and support our student-athletes whenever they can. The full schedule can be found on the L&G co-curricular calendar.

Thank you for your continued support, and I hope to see many of you in the gym this week!

Warmly,

Dana Aquadro

Winter, and all the holiday celebrations that come along with it, is an exciting time of year, especially for teens on school vacation. It’s our job as parents and caring adults to make sure these celebrations are safe and healthy. 
West River Valley Thrives is launching its annual Holiday Lawn Sign Campaign to bring awareness to the issue of teen alcohol use and parent/community responsibility around this topic.
