The News about Nichols Middle School!
Tayvia represents NMS at Project 351
Project 2351 began in 2011, when former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick sought to celebrate his second inaugural with a focus on young people and community. The concept of Project 351, which had been developed by Carolyn Casey, reflected Governor Patrick’s belief in the Beloved Community and the unlimited potential of young people. His embrace led to the realization of Project 351 as a one-day celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., statewide unity, and youth leadership.
By day’s end, a movement of hope-in-action had been founded. And, with it, an invitation to serve and lead for eighth graders in each of Massachusetts' 351 cities and towns. From that day forward, Project 351 Ambassadors would unite the entire state as one team, one community in service to cause greater than self.
NMS Hosts Massasoit League Math Meet
On Friday, January 24th, Nichols Middle School hosted the Winter 2020 Massasoit league math meet. The meet was attended by nine towns from the surrounding area. Teams competed in five rounds of problem solving. The bi-annual meets give students an opportunity to collaborate with peers from other schools and share their love of math. Thank you to the students and faculty that helped us host a successful meet. Mathematicians wanted! Seventh and eighth grade students who are interested, please see Mrs. Anderson or Mrs. Wooley for details.
