Anna Slanda
Anna Slanda is a quiet, unassuming girl who has done very
well for herself at Uxbridge High School. Academically, Anna
supports a solid A- grade-point average and has achieved
honor roll status every semester. She has challenged herself
with honors and AP level courses, and through her academic
successes has found a desire to pursue a major in Elementary
Education next year. Anna is actively involved in the UHS
Environment Science Club and has received recognition at the
Massachusetts Environthon Contest placing second for her
“Riverbend Ecostation” and fifth for her “Acting Locally for
Climate” projects. She has also participated on the
cross-country and track teams in past years. To service her
community, Anna has spent time volunteering at the Uxbridge
Town Library and has traveled north to Maine to assist in
the needs of children with life threatening diseases at Camp
Sunshine. Anna walks the hallways of Uxbridge with kindness
and grace. For this, she is respected by her classmates and
members of the faculty for her positive, non-judgmental
persona.
Andrew Groth
Andrew Groth is an example of a first-class person. He
prides himself on his work ethic, his competitiveness, his
loyalty, and his dependability; all traits of which he
demonstrates daily inside and outside the classroom. Andrew
is committed to giving the extra effort to see that he
achieves his goals. His academic record shines by pursuing
numerous honors level courses, receiving highest honor roll
status every semester, and ranking 12th in the senior class.
Athletically, Andrew has found successes on the basketball
court, a sport he plans on continuing in college, receiving
both league and divisional accolades since sophomore year.
Additionally, his talents have been instrumental in the
accomplishments of the football, baseball, and golf teams of
which he has been a member. However, it is his respectful
character that truly sets him apart from others. His
“attention to details” and “willingness to extend himself”
sets such a positive tone and atmosphere. Andrew’s
personality and achievements have made an impact at Uxbridge
High School that will be remember for quite some time.
