SRS Presents Anastasia: The Musical, March 14-16
The SRS Drama Club is proud to present ANASTASIA: THE MUSICAL, March 14-16. From Tony-winning creators Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty, and Lynn Ahrens, Anastasia: The Musical transports audiences from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the Parisian euphoria of the 1920s. The story follows Anya, a brave young woman with no memory of her past, as she joins forces with Dmitry and Vlad on an epic journey to uncover her true identity. Along the way, they face challenges that will test their courage, determination, and belief in the power of home and family.
The production features more than 50 SRS students in the cast and crew, and eight students from Powder Mill School. With unforgettable characters, breathtaking music, and dazzling staging, this is a show that promises to be an incredible experience for performers and audiences alike.

Announcement of School Delays/Closings - Winter 2024/2025
The first snow has fallen, and winter is here! All STGRSD school delays or closings will be announced on our social media as soon as the decision is made (shortly after 4:00 a.m., or possibly later, if weather and safety conditions warrant a change in status). TV stations (WWLP, Western Mass News, and NECN) are notified immediately after the social media posts are published. Please follow and stay tuned to the district Facebook and Instagram for up-to-date weather announcements from the district!
Higher elevations in Granville and Tolland can experience a more significant impact from winter weather events. We always strive to ensure that the safety of all students, families, and staff is our top priority.
Have a safe and healthy winter!
