Nashoba Brooks School welcomed current and prospective families as well as friends in the community for a festive roster of activities during Winter Weekend 2018: Friday, January 26 through Sunday, January 28.
The disco party for current families on Friday night started with a pizza dinner and continued with a DJ who played hits from all decades. Our students (and parents) dressed in retro attire and danced the night away.
On Saturday, a record crowd participated in S’mores & More. In addition to the S’more-making station and a photo booth with Brooks the Bear, activities included a community service project for Cradles to Crayons, coding, winter art, story time by the fireplace in Wallace Dining Commons, as well as a drumming session and mime workshop in Tucker Auditorium. Sports activities also took place in Achtmeyer Gymnasium.
Attendees also enjoyed a connection to Mexico City when they stepped into the Concord Portal. The session, orchestrated by Nashoba Brooks’ Director of Educational Technology and Innovation Hank Bryant, was a fun learning experience focusing on arts and culture in that region.
“Winter is a time of celebration for our community, and S’mores and More in particular is a highlight,” said Head of School Danielle Heard. “It is wonderful to open our doors to prospective families with activities that are hands-on and reflective of the experience we offer our students.”
The weekend ended on Sunday with a skating party at Middlesex School’s rink where parents and students enjoyed an afternoon gliding on the ice. Hot chocolate and good conversation brought the weekend to a warm close.
Nashoba Brooks thanks everyone who came out to make Winter Weekend 2018 fun, memorable, and festive.

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.
