Class of 2025 Senior Portraits:
How do senior portraits work?
Our school photographer O’Connor Studios will be scheduling portrait sessions at Nipmuc this summer and into the fall. All members of the Class of 2025 are required to attend their scheduled sessions, even if they plan to do a photoshoot with another photographer. There will be no charge for O’Connor’s “Basic” package unless you decide to purchase pictures. You also have the option to pay for a higher level package.
After your session, you will be able to see your photos online and select which one you would like in the yearbook for your formal portrait. You may also use a photo from your O’Connor session for your “Second Photo,” if you’d like.
Any questions, contact O'Connor 's Studio: https://www.oconnorstudioseniors.com/contact.

Today is the Civics Symposium from 8:30am-10:30am. Juniors in the US II classes have spent a large portion of their year researching a topic of concern in their communities, state, or world and then creating an action plan to address that issue. The Civics Symposium gives students the opportunity to showcase their work and results to the community. Stop by Nipmuc this morning and see some of these great projects and ideas for action and change. #nipmucpride

It was a day to remember for our district Best Buddies Chapters who participated in the Best Buddies Friendship Walk this past Saturday at Polar Park.

Watch the link below and you will see some familiar faces at the beginning and right around 1:12. Congratulations to all of the staff, students and families that participated. #nipmucpride #MURSD

Mr. Gorman and some of the Engineering 2 students were busy capturing data during the rare solar eclipse. Students monitored air temperature, ambient light (lux), uv index, air pressure, and humidity during the eclipse yesterday. Jorvan Uppal is pictured monitoring on of the devices used to capture this data to study. They even had some help from the NASA Astronaut Monkey they received from a previous school trip to collect data. What a great experience for our students to witness and learn from. #nipmucpride #MURSD
