As Principal Peter Bass stood outside Groton Middle School on Monday morning after students arrived, he said he couldn’t believe the school’s opening day was here, after years of planning.
Bass said it was exciting not only to see students back in school for the first time since March, but also to see all middle schoolers from Groton coming to the school.
“It’s a day we’ve dreamed about for years, and now we’ve realized it,” said Bass, adding that “now the magic begins.”
