Updates and Homework for 6/9:

All Students:
PLEASE BE ADVISED – CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THE ROYAL RUMBLE!!!!
To those who have purchased tickets for this Saturday’s Football Game, because of the weather we anticipate that Georgetown football field will be unplayable this Saturday. Therefore, we have moved the game to Triton Regional High School, located off exit 55, Rt. 95 N in Newbury.
Tickets will be available at the gate on game day.
Kick off has been pushed to 1:30pm to allow the extra few minutes of travel time.
Thank you for supporting this event which we hope will have a tremendous impact on the athletic programs in the Georgetown Schools. The Boston Raven & Manchester Devils are looking forward to a great game.

Attention 7th grade parents: we are starting a peer mentoring program for incoming 8th graders for next fall! Many students came home this week with applications and a teacher nomination letter to become peer mentors. During the last week of August, a group of 25-30 incoming 8th graders will take part in a one day training, along with the high school peer mentors, and assist in running the 6th grade orientation. Peer mentors will be matched with a small group of incoming 6th grade students throughout the school year (meeting with mentees once/month to do a variety of activities). Most meetings will occur outside of the realm of the academic day.

Ms. Francis and I are holding an informational meeting for students who received applications and letters and for any other student who is interested in becoming a peer mentor. The meeting will be held this Thursday, June 11, in Ms. DiFruscio's room from 2:20-2:45.
