December Reflections from Mr. Geoghegan:
Looking Back to Look Forward
This has been one of the best school years I have ever been a part of. The students here at Nichols have been awesome this school year. They have been sensational.
Our 1:1 Chromebook initiative has been in a word, electrifying. To see our teachers, staff, and students attack their learning through this educational tool is outstanding.
In these first few months, the highlights for me have been seeing the 6th Graders come in and fall right into the routine of being middle schoolers.
Our second Fall sports participation in soccer was very successful, as our Girls' Team won the Massasoit League Championship and our Boys played incredibly well. Our first foray into Cross Country was incredibly successful with the number of students participating and competing.
"Bye Bye Birdie," our fall/winter musical, showed the abundant talent of our students. All of the NMS Student Council fundraisers for charities display our students' persistent want to help our community.
And probably one of my favorites from the start of this year has been our First Friday Spirit Days with our grade level T-shirts with our school-wide TIGERS culture-building initiative and our #PositiveSignThursdays.

In the grand scheme of things, these really aren't many "reflections" other than it has been a tremendous beginning to the school year; we remain steady in working hard to make NMS the best it can be; and we will be relentless in making sure we continue in this direction.
Enjoy the time with family and friends during this upcoming holiday break, and as teachers across the globe love to say on Friday, the last day before break, “See you next year.”
Have a wonderful, restful, and joyous holiday from everyone here at NMS; see you on Tuesday, January 3, 2017.
