Just a reminder that this is not a "trick" it is a "treat" that our students will be dismissed at 10:45am tomorrow to allow for our teachers to have professional development time.
The Nipmuc Drama Guild presents Puffs this weekend.
Puffs, or: Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic is a comedic play that retells the story of a famous boy wizard from the perspective of the often-overlooked "Puffs," a group of well-meaning misfits at a magical school. The play follows Wayne Hopkins and his fellow Puff classmates as they navigate school, spells, and the chaos surrounding the Chosen One—trying their best just to survive. With heart and humor, Puffs celebrates friendship, identity, and what it means to be a hero in your own story. We hope you will join us next weekend for one of the three shows listed on the below flyer. Tickets will be sold at the door and are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors (65+).
The weather is getting colder. Don't miss out on ordering your blanket and support the Class of 2027. Order online through the link until Friday, October 31st. Blankets will be delivered to the school and distributed to you at that time. If you have questions please see Ms. Reardon or Mrs. Blackburn.

On Wednesday last week we hosted over 100 international fellows from the National Defense University (NDU) in Washington, DC. This marks the tenth time that this group of future diplomats from across the globe visited Nipmuc to get a taste of American education and to have the chance to meet with and shadow American teenagers during the school day.
The National Defense University is an extension of the National War College. Students who attend this Master's degree program have been sent by their home countries in recognition of their potential for future diplomatic roles. Graduates of the NDU include many top diplomats and elected officials from nations across the globe. Over the course of recent years, students have built meaningful connections with this group of global leaders in an exciting exchange of cultures and this year was no different. It was a wonderful day filled with curiosity and gratitude at the end of the day for having the experience.

Soto for organizing this again this year as well.

The DECA Cookout and Club & Activities Fair was a success and the weather couldn't have been better this year. We wanted to thank DECA and the Upton Police Department for putting this annual event on again this year for our students and faculty.
