All Students:
Come listen to our rocking 8th grade band, "Cold Reality" comprised of Jake Nelson, Zack Graham, and Nick Mammolette! They will be performing as part of Georgetown Days on Sunday, 12:00 behind the Georgetown Library.
On Saturday, October 25th, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the state of New Hampshire, in conjunction with Seabrook Station, will conduct an audible demonstration of all 121 of the Public Alert and Notification System (PANS) sirens that are located within Seabrook Station’s 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). There are 27 sirens located in Massachusetts, within the communities of Amesbury, Merrimac, Newbury, Newburyport, Salisbury and West Newbury, with 94 in New Hampshire.
This demonstration is a public information endeavor designed to increase public awareness of what the sirens sound like and what to do if they are ever sounded due to a declared emergency.
The siren demonstration will begin at 12:30pm on October 25th, lasting from 3-5 minutes, and will end by 12:35pm.
