Principal’s Flyer #9: October 14, 2024

Dear Students & Families:

We hope you enjoyed a lovely holiday weekend.  Thanks to all of our middle and high school students and families for coming out to Friday Night Lights last weekend and for your support of our Middle and High School cheer and football teams!  Please remember to save the date for the Class of 2025’s Trunk or Treat, which will be held Saturday, October 26th..and all 8th graders are reminded that your dance will be held this Friday on October 18th at NRHS from 6:00 - 8:00 PM.  Families of grade 8 students and/or dance attendees, details can be found here.  We’re looking forward to an outstanding dance!

At the top of this week’s weekly update, we’d like to celebrate NRHS 10th grader Kelly Taylor for her ongoing civic engagement, supporting Worcester County Sheriff Evangelidis’ Warmer Winters initiative this year.  Here’s Kelly supporting the Coat Drive, and Kelly running a half marathon with fellow sophomore Lillian Morrilly in the students’ spare time.  Bravo to these outstanding Warriors! And for anyone interested, the Warmer Winters Coat Drive starts on October 22nd this year.

Finally, congratulations to juniors Mia Manca, Maxim Kauffman, and Tallulah Celata for selection as student ambassadors to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletics Association (MIAA).  As MIAA Ambassadors, Mia, Max, and Tallulah will represent NRHS and join in leadership activities and development with fellow students and leaders from around the state.  Kudos to these student athletes. 

Varsity Letterman’s Powderpuff Game 2024 has been scheduled for this fall. We’ll post a flyer over the next several weeks, but we recommend saving the date for the evening of November 4th.  Note: students are off from school on November 5th for an all district professional development day.  So students, you can jumpstart your day off with an evening of Powder Puff Football.
