Nashoba Brooks School Celebrates Morning of Service
On Tuesday, November 20, Nashoba Brooks School students and employees dedicated the morning to service, demonstrating appreciation of their School and the broader community.
During the morning of service, they completed projects focused on thankfulness, helpfulness, empathy, and service to others. The classes worked on a variety of projects. Preschoolers created bird protectors for the School’s windows and cleaned up trash on the playground. Kindergartners worked with fifth graders to package hats and mittens for Cradles to Crayons. Grade 1 students worked with fourth graders to make birthday cards for an organization called Birthday Wishes, which brings joy to homeless children through birthday parties.
Grades 6 and 8 students made fleece blankets chew toys for the Buddy Dog Humane Society. For the past two weeks, Grade 7 students donated specific foods so that they could make kids’ snack bags for Open Table in Concord. Today, they were able to decorate and fill almost 50 bags that will be delivered next week.
We thank the students and employees for their dedication today and their ongoing commitment to our core values.
Each May, just before the academic year draws to a close, Grade 6 students from Nashoba Brooks School embark on a highly anticipated overnight excursion to coastal Connecticut.
As part of interdisciplinary work across science, humanities, writer’s workshop, and transliteracy, Grade 4 students engage with the Invention Convention which provides a hands-on opportunity for students to creatively solve a novel problem. With the timeliness and acknowledgment of National Engineers Week, this STEM, invention, and entrepreneurship program starts with our students exploring their lives, and the lives of others, to identify a problem they are passionate about solving.
What a bee-autiful sight! The Nashoba Brooks beehives have been buzzing all summer and have produced their first batch of honey! With the help of Mel, our apiarist partner, Grade 1 students were able to extract a few jars of honey from one of our hives. Students will further explore this wonder of nature during science class this year as they learn more about the natural world and our local environment.
Grade 3 students participated in a favorite Nashoba Brooks tradition: a Sharing of Understanding. This event hosted family members to listen and learn about what their students have been working on at School, including a recorder recital and in-depth explanations of multiple indigenous peoples.
