Ever wonder just how hard that duck is paddling underneath the surface to maintain that smooth presentation on the surface?
Years ago, a trustee shared a story that has stuck with me, and resonated throughout my time at Nashoba Brooks School. As an executive in a start-up biotech firm, she was meeting with venture capitalists to raise a fund for a truly cutting-edge, change-the-world initiative. As a prelude to her pitch, she was invited to join the group for a boondoggle, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that…wait for it…involved camping in the field of a NASCAR race. This trustee was brilliant, and brilliantly put together, from her tailored pantsuit and perfectly curled hair to her 3.5-inch pumps. After describing her not-to-be-turned-down invitation, she looked at me and said, “You know, this doesn’t just happen.” I am reminded of this often at Nashoba Brooks. It is true that this doesn’t just happen. What happens at Nashoba Brooks is something we research, plan, iterate, and create together, built on dedication to our mission, a focus on our students and an unwavering commitment to continuous learning, growth, and improvement at every level. Ever wonder just how hard that duck is paddling underneath the surface to maintain that smooth presentation on the surface? Listen closely to teachers as they share the why and how behind what they do in the classroom.
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.

As Black History Month comes to a close, students and faculty alike celebrate diversity, acknowledging that a school is not only classrooms, gymnasiums, and fields, but also the people within these walls. Each year and at every grade level our students contemplate the presence and importance of different backgrounds, experiences and beliefs. And this month provides community members with an opportunity to reflect on what it means to be Black in America.
