Honoring GCS Alumni and Remembering Taylor Young
Groton Community School is beginning an annual scholarship which will be awarded to a graduating high school senior who is one of our Groton Community School alumni. The scholarship is in memory of Taylor Benjamin Young, a beloved and treasured Groton Community School student who lost his life at the tender age of four. The award recipient will also exemplify the qualities, described below, demonstrated by Taylor during his life.
Taylor was a sweet, sincere, and happy little boy, who brightened each and every day at Groton Community School and Camp Kaleidoscope. We will miss his warm smile, his kind and caring nature, and his curiosity and enthusiasm for school. It was remarkable how someone as young as Taylor understood and embodied principles that we hold dear at Groton Community School so well: our school’s dedication to “peace” and “bucket filling” (thoughtful words and deeds). All of our GCS students will always be in our hearts. And we are especially happy to honor Taylor’s memory and acknowledge a very special past GCS student who shares our commitment to these principles.
