Superintendent Update
Dear Nashoba Families,
Today I want to announce the launch of our social media communications for the Nashoba Regional High School Building Project. We will be using Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to educate the residents of our three towns on the progress of the project. Please subscribe to our social media platforms to receive updates. In addition, we need you to encourage your neighbors who are residents of Bolton, Lancaster, and Stow to subscribe to our social media communications. This will be a primary tool in getting our messages out to people who do not have children in school.
Please follow us on the following social media:

I wish you all a happy and restful vacation.
Peace,
Kirk Downing

Learning (and FUN) at Extended Learning
Extended Learning students have been hard at work crafting, building, writing, and acting their way through some fun fall and winter enrichment programming! With the help of Drama Out of the Box participants practiced improv and impressed their friends with self-written and performed plays. They tested the limits of their imagination and building skills with the help of fan favorite enrichment program, ImagArena! They lowered the temperature with indoor snowball fights and winter dioramas, but kept warm by making their very own fleece blankets and pillows. Finally, they made the shortest day of the year a little brighter with their handmade winter solstice light bags!
