The Enrichment Committee finds appropriate performers and hosts them at the school. "We try to have a balance of age-appropriate, curriculum-enriching events for all grades and subject areas. In the past, we have enjoyed storytellers, raptors, wild animals, writers, mad scientists, singer/songwriters, actors, historical figures, drummers and guitarists at the school." according to enthusiastic former Committee Chair Allison Hansen.

ENRICHMENT IN FULL SWING

Author Susan Bosak spent a day and evening at Nelson Place on October 20 and was  well received by students, teachers and parents. Storytelling program, Big Ryan's Tall Tales, will be at school the morning of October 28 to do two presentations:  One to kick off the annual Books and Beyond program for the younger kids  and the other to kick off the TRIPP reading program for our older students (thanks to Jill Andros and Karen Naylor for organizing the special reading programs this year!)  Enrichment is happy we can  back them up with this programming!

As the holidays approach,  there are so many classroom activities and special celebrations that  Enrichment programming will be taking a break.  However, we will be back after the Holidays with some great events!  Keep your eyes open for future presentations.

DREAM DISCOVERY PROJECT DATE CHANGE TO OCTOBER 20TH
