Nashoba Brooks School welcomed families, friends, employees, and alumni for Winter Weekend 2020, a three-day lineup of activities to celebrate winter and our incredible community.
The weekend kicked-off with an ‘80s Dance Party on Friday night. Participants enjoyed a pizza dinner and had the chance to show off their best retro fashion and dance moves while the DJ played a line up of favorites from the‘80s.
During Saturday’s Smores & More event, the hot chocolate bar, complete with homemade marshmallows and whipped cream, created by chef Sean-Michael Tantinarawat, and the S’mores station were a big hit! In addition to these delectable treats, families participated in several activities including coding, winter art, drama, storytime by the fireplace, and the ever-popular photo booth.
Middle School student leaders provided service learning opportunities and encouraged families to donate gently used board games, books, and Nashoba Brooks logowear to help support two separate drives, including SOS Children’s Village, an organization working to prevent childhood abandonment, build resilient families, and empower vulnerable youth through education initiatives.
The event ended with a performance by Nashoba Notes, led by Middle School music teacher Christel Michaud with Dina DeMayo accompanying on piano.
“This is one of my favorite days of the year, when students, families, and friends join us to celebrate community and the joy of learning,” said Head of School Danielle Heard. “It has become a wonderful tradition for our School, spreading warmth and positive energy during the cold winter months.”
The weekend ended on Sunday with an ice skating party at Middlesex School’s rink where current Nashoba Brooks School families and alumni relaxed and skated the afternoon away.

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.
