Dear Students & Families:

We hope you’ve had a wonderful homecoming week Warriors!  Despite rain, we had an amazing Warrior Fest 2023! Today we are sending out big thanks to our many parent volunteersclass officers, students volunteers, Police and Fire for helping to support this event.  Thank you to NRSD staff for volunteering at our event, volunteering at the dance, and supporting homecoming weekend.  Finally, special thanks also goes out to Ms. O’Dea and Ms. Caouette for spearheading a wonderful event this year.  We so appreciate everyone coming out to support our event rain or shine, and for making this happen despite weather imposed challenges.  The logistics Ms. O’Dea, Ms. Caouette, staff and parent volunteers had to overcome this year to make this happen were not minor.  Thank you all.  And thank you again to our Fire Department, Police, and Warrior Fest vendors for being flexible in order to make things happen.  We’d like to acknowledge Atlas Fireworks for continuing to try to work with us to find a new date and time to put on a fun fireworks display for our students and community. All in all, thank you again for making Warrior fest special, and for a wonderful homecoming week in our community. It was a special night and week at ‘Gansett.
