PSAT Testing - October 12
As a reminder, any students in grades 10 & 11 that registered to take the PSAT will be taking the exam on October 12. The exam will begin promptly at 7:30am and will be completed before lunch. Students will know prior to the exam where they will report that day. The PSAT is representative of the actual SAT exam in content, scope, and design. It will help students feel confident and prepared when they take the SATs later in their junior year. If you have any questions you can email Ms. Towne at atowne@mursd.org.

Athletics Schedule for the Week
Lead Learner Workshop- October 18
This will be the first Lead Learner Workshop kick-off meeting for the 2022-2023 school year. These hour-long workshops are Nipmuc’s most important leadership opportunities in which students and teachers work together to design the future of our school. Lead Learner Workshops are attended by administrators and department chairs. In addition, they are open to any student and any teacher at our school. They encourage school-wide participation in the exploration of new ideas and the future of learning at our school. Since September 2017, these workshops have provided a platform for everyone in the school - including students, staff, faculty, and administrators - to work together in leading Nipmuc. Save the date for October 18 and there will be more information to follow.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS
“She Kills Monsters” will aptly be performed on Halloween weekend (October 28 @ 7pm and October 29 @ 2:30pm and 7pm). As scary as the title sounds this fun fantasy travels in and out of a Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) game written by a geeky girl, no less, in the 1990s at a time when girls did not do such things! Come see if she manages to kill all the monsters she faces in life or if she leaves the hard work for her sister to finish! Tickets will be sold at the door and online. Please stay tuned for more information.
Looking for parent volunteers
As usual, the Drama Guild is always looking for parents/guardians to help with costumes, painting, and set building. If you have any extra time on a few Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays we could use your help. Interested in helping? Please email Tam Johnson, Director, at tjohnson@mursd.org.
Nipmuc Halloween Tradition Continues This Year
Halloween became a tradition at Nipmuc over the years. It is a day where students and faculty can showcase their creativity and imagination with their costumes and have some fun dressing up and trick-or-treating. Start thinking of your costume now and join in on the fun on October 31. We know some of our faculty already have their costume ready to go!
