Our talented art students have filled our lobby with their creations. Students focused on the proportion of the human head (Dia De Los Muertos.) The other project was looking at the work of Tim Burton (artist/animator/film-maker: Beetlejuice, Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, etc.) Students worked in groups and chose a Burton quote from several articles, then illustrated that quote in a poster using Tim Burton's style and imagery. #nipmucpride

This Thursday, October 6, Nipmuc will host the Rockin' for a Reason Concert. This annual rock concert will feature student musicians from Nipmuc, Miscoe, and surrounding towns, with all proceeds going to the SuperTy Louis Campbell Foundation to fund pediatric cancer research.
Tickets are $15 at the door or $10 in advance and will be sold at all Nipmuc lunches this week. There will also be plenty of food and awesome merchandise on sale at the show, as well as a 50/50 cash raffle. Doors open at 6:30pm and the concert starts at 7:00pm.
“She Kills Monsters” will aptly be performed on Halloween weekend (October 28 & 29 @ 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.
