On Nov. 11, veterans were recognized and celebrated across the district for their service to our country. Students at Kelly Lane Primary School and Wells Road Intermediate School welcomed family members and neighbors to take part in school-wide gatherings to learn the importance of the holiday and to celebrate our veterans.
For many, the holiday season is a time to slow down, reconnect with loved ones, and reflect on the things that moved and inspired us. In that spirit, I’d like to pause from our regular Board of Ed business and happenings this month and highlight some of the fantastic achievements of our students and staff.
The 2024 Granby Memorial High School Varsity Field Hockey Team finished their regular season with a record of 13–2–1.
It was a hot fall season for the Granby Rovers Soccer Club as two teams captured league titles, two teams had tournament victories and three made runs in the Connecticut (CT) Cup.
Going into the 2024 volleyball season the GMHS girls volleyball team had many goals, including winning the NCCC Regular season, the NCCC Tournament, making it to the State Championship finals, and having an undefeated season, among other difficult goals.
Granby Memorial High School senior Jayne Hiatt (#21) set a new record this season when she racked up her 1,000th kill in volleyball. Her achievement marks the first time in Granby volleyball’s 18-year history that a player has accomplished this amazing feat.
At press time, the team was 3-1. Let’s go, Bears!
The board of education often hears about issues regarding conflicts between students, or bullying. It’s important that we all understand the definition of bullying as adopted by the state legislature.
