The Wolf Weekly
NRHS Principal's Newsletter
Newsletter Week of April 11, 2022
Good Morning NRHS Community,
I hope this message finds you doing well. We are in the final week before April Vacation and a reminder that Quarter 3 ends on Friday. The next newsletter will be sent out on Monday April 25th. Last week was exciting at NRHS - we hosted several guest speakers in English and Science classes, our 10th graders participated in a very successful Reality Fair experience (many thanks to Mr. Glover and our guidance department as well as the Rotary Club, Clinton Savings Bank and our community volunteers!), we hosted the Central MA regional GSA meeting and had a fantastic Class Plays event on Friday. Athletics are also in full swing.
Good luck to the NRHS Robotics Team in the State Competition later this week!
For those members of the Nashoba community celebrating Easter on April 17th and Passover from April 15-23, I wish you a Happy Easter and Happy Passover.
Have a great week!
Best,
Dr. Kathleen Boynton, principal
Ramadan
April 2nd, 2022, marked the first day of Ramadan for Muslims around the world. The 9th month of the lunar calendar, Ramadan is not a holiday by Islamic standards; it is a holy month of worship. Muslim students in our classrooms will be fasting from sunrise to sunset (about 5:40 am-7:00pm); they cannot consume anything (water, medicine, food, etc.). For Muslims, Ramadan is much more than abstaining from food and drink. It is a month that exemplifies the Islamic values of gratitude, strengthening bonds of kinship, spirituality, and maximizing acts of charity.
We support our students observing their Islamic faith and will make quiet space available in the main office area during lunch and as needed.
Earth Day Celebration at NRHS
On Friday April 15th, the NRHS Green Team is hosting an Earth Day Celebration. This is a long standing NRHS tradition that we are proud to bring back post COVID. See below for the schedule.
After Long Block, students will report to their Homeroom and then each homeroom will cycle through a series of events and activities. The modified bell schedule is below.
Congratulations to our Class Players!
