Superintendent Update
Dear Nashoba Families,
Tomorrow we will honor the men and women who have served our country with the holiday of Veterans Day. I learned recently through the Department of Veterans Affairs that Veterans Day as it is spelled out is very intentional. Sometimes you might see it spelled with an apostrophe s or with an s apostrophe indicating that the day is owned by veterans. It is in fact spelled as the plural “Veterans” to indicate it is a day in which we would honor all veterans, past and present.
In that spirit I wish to salute all of the residents of our towns who have served or currently serve our nation through military service. As a society, we benefit from those who dedicate themselves to serving others and our nation. Please join me in reaching out to people in our community who have served our nation and let’s be grateful for their dedication to our country.
Peace,
Kirk Downing
(He/Him)

Purple Pinkie Day... a Great Success
The Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley extends a thank you to the Nashoba Regional School District community for the support in making this year's Purple Pinkie fundraising efforts a success. Our districtwide community of students, families, and staff contributed $2,032.48 to help vaccinate children against polio around the world. This contribution equates to over $6,000 when considered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which matches funds raised two-to-one. This fundraising drive will enable thousands of children to be vaccinated against polio. Thank you , Nashoba Regional School District community, for your support!
