FRIENDS OF DRAMA NEWS “It was the best show I have ever seen here in 22
years,” remarked one former faculty mem-ber. “The costumes were amazing…Broadway quality!” hailed another fan. Yet another was astounded and asked “how did they do that?” in regard to the special effects that enabled Fester to float in space while he sang to the moon. On the weekend of March 18, 19, and 20, audiences were wowed by Nashoba Drama’s Spring Musical, “the Addams Family,” under the direction of Mr. Bill Grady. Near sell-out crowds filled the house as the “creepy, kooky” Addams Family members and their ancestors came to life. Kudos also to the combined success of many parents committee members for their time and tremendous effort in coordinating and exe-cuting those amazing tasks such as publicity, ticket sales, front-of-house décor, hair and make-up, costumes, props, set construction and painting, to name a few. We hope you were among those who had the opportunity to enjoy this spectacular show!
The Friends of Drama Board would like to extend their most sincere thanks and gratitude to all the parents, administrators, custodians, tech-nical crew, and our amazing actors who made this production possible. We would like to especially thank Bill Grady, our Director; Rob Nierintz, our Artistic Director; Melissa Lynch, our Choreographer; and Mike Hoffman, our Music Director for sharing their time and talent. The next Friends of Drama meeting will be held on Wednes-day, April 5th, 2016, at 6:00 pm in the auditorium lobby. All interested parents are welcome to attend. The FOD board is looking for a new co-secretary as well as some new committee chairs for next year. Please contact Kim Storey at [email protected] if you would like more information about volunteering your time to support our students.

An Introduction to the Transition Planning Process Wednesday, April 27
from 7 – 9 PM Room 216, Nashoba Regional High School
Massachusetts law requires Transition planning must begin at age 14 and continue throughout the high school years as students prepare to journey into a full and inclu-sive adult life. Coordinated and continuous transition preparation promotes better post-school outcomes for students with disabilities. This introductory transition workshop, presented by the Federation for Children with Special Needs, will address:
The development of self-advocacy and self-determination skills to support a student’s vision
How Transition Assessments identify students’ strength
How the Transition Planning Form guides planning for meaningful opportunities in education, train-ing, employment and independent living.
This program is appropriate for anyone with a child who will require special education transition planning within the next two years. This FREE workshop is open to the public.
