bjbj I see the spirit of Groton everywhere. I would say we are very passionate about our
school. Everyone is just so excited to be here. We see 'The Spirit of Groton' on screen.
We see high speed images of people in a large conference room and 'Spirit Week' appears
on screen. I think I see the spirit of Groton come out in spirit week for sure. The spirit
week committee and the dorms make announcements trying to get everyone pumped up, trying to
get everyone excited for the game.. We work together trying to pick themes for each day
of the week and some themes have been favorite senior day or America day and people dress
up according to that theme. What I love about Senior week is the announcements and then
there's a big bonfire afterwards and all the seniors on all the varsity themes get tossed.
My favorite part of senior week is definitely when we play Saint Marks. St. Mark's is our
big rival. Their mascot is a lion and we do not like lions. (long pause) We really want
to beat them. During spirit week it's just how we see the Groton community come together
and just be unified. Music. Dorm life in the beginning is really interesting. I have never
lived with so many girls at once, it was new to me, but it was fun they were really welcoming.
Everyone was happy to have me in the dorm. I am in the bigger of the two third form dorms.
It's really fun we have great prefects who come back as mentors for us. It's a really
fun atmosphere. I had no idea what to expect coming into it, but you become such better
friends by living together, that's probably the part i like the most. Playing music is
something I really have fun doing. I think here because the activities are just sitting
here waiting for you to take advantage of them, i was ready to try a lot of new really
different things and meet a lot of new different people in the process. Being in drama I think
i have discovered that I can interact socially with a lot of different people than i might
not have interacted with at my old school. being in the company together it really helps
us all be friends all have common focus, it was great. I really love sports, here i decided
i would pick up cross country and in the spring i row. I am really sad the spring is over
it has been such a great season. Spring fling is like a field day. There's an obstacle course
that's always really complicated and extreme. All the dorms are competing to be the queen
of spring, the king of spring fling. I would say that while in some ways Groton is the
same school that was founded 125 years ago, at the same time its such a modern place,
we are diverse we are efriendly we are excitied we are not technophobic, we are definitely
every inch in the modern world. It's a traditional school, but we have so many new perspectives,
new ideas, new views and new people you know, it's great to see how the school can keep
its traditions but still progress which is what i love about the school. Coming here
i realized i didn't need to be any of the things that were expected of me, i could be
myself. I really like it, because we have a great sense of community, and everyone knows
each other. All of us are so excited to be here and to share our thoughts and our ideas
with everyone and we are so happy to be around each other, I can't imagine someone saying
there's no spirit, you can see it in the classrooms everywhere. We all come here for the same
reason which is to learn and to become better people and mature into a person who is ready
to take on the world. [Content_Types].xml u$Nw @8Jb _rels/.rels theme/theme/themeManager.xml
