Regional School District Planning Board Update:
A meeting is coming up that the RSDPB encourages interested families and community members to attend on February 7, as the Planning Board's research team will present their findings on indicators of educational quality and Career Vocational and Technical Education (“CVTE”) possibilities of a merged high school. There will be opportunities for public comment on the topics being presented at the end of the meeting, which will be held remotely beginning at 5:30 p.m. On February 9th, the research team will synthesize its research findings to date and present the three models under consideration, moving toward its recommendations.

The Kindergarteners at NMC have been studying snow and snowflakes. This coincided beautifully with a math unit on shapes. They learned that when snowflakes are formed, the water molecules make a hexagon. They made hexagons out of craft materials and then added embellishments to create these amazing snowflakes!
The 8th grade Q2 Impressionism exhibit is up in the art wing. Come by and check out the paintings.
8th grade students, working with Mass Audubon, explored the Lime Kiln Wildlife Sanctuary. Through their studies, students connected classroom concepts to examples of climate change in their daily lives.
Fall Digital Photography students completed their final project: Long Exposure. Students were asked to create a photograph using slow shutter to show movement or amplified light. This process allows the artists to create a scene that the naked eye can not see.
