GCS PK at the Georgetown Town Office #FutureSelectmen
Yesterday littles wrapped up our garden and planted bulbs around the Town Office. Grades 3&4 went clamming in the Sunshine and older students took to the trails to walk down to the Richards Library. We're very lucky to have so many natural resources to explore and play with!
