Nashoba Moves Beyond the Budget
By Ann Needle
With next year’s budget successfully voted in at all three Nashoba-member town meetings on Monday, the Nashoba School Committee continued to look toward next school year at their Tuesday meeting.
In a report on school council activity at Nashoba Regional High School, Principal Dr. Parry Graham focused on how the school has been working toward two major goals in its school improvement plan. Student Council Rep. Brendan McMullen outlined some of the steps taken regarding the first goal of better understanding and addressing safety concerns and perceptions. These included talking to the Bolton Police about the possibility of putting in a school resource officer, arranging an upcoming safety presentation for juniors and seniors by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, and collecting data from other high schools on their safety set-ups.

The Independent Clause
I’ve often said that one of the best things about small town government is that a resident can see the direct impact of their voice through their participation and vote at Town Meeting and Elections.

Girls Tennis Expands Program
By Ellen Oliver
The Nashoba girls’ tennis team is expanding – growing from eight players to twelve, from three courts to five. Another area where they want to expand: in the record books by forging deeper into the playoffs.
The season started with the Chieftains channeling energy from their new courts into wins. The girls started off the year with a 5-0 win home over Algonquin, followed by a 4-1 victory at Wachusett. Then the team ran into some trouble, losing to Shrewsbury 4-1 and Westborough 4-1.
Needle at Large: Mr. Nashoba
By Ann Needle
Unless you live in reality TV, the world isn’t much for beauty pageants anymore. But don’t tell that to the young men of Nashoba Regional High School. As Friday night’s annual Mr. Nashoba Pageant proved, shirtless sells.
Sponsored by the NRHS Student Council, the pageant was launched a few years back to raise money for the SC’s activities. This year, it was also announced by pageant emcee, Psychology Teacher Bob Griffith, that half the cash earned would be split between the two scholarship funds founded in memory of former Nashoba students Will Hurley of Stow, and Lancaster’s Alison Murphy.
