Dear Families:

A reminder that our Winter Sports Informational night is being held on November 15th at 6:30pm at the Nipmuc Auditorium.

This season we are doing things a little different as we are bringing in a guest speaker to speak with Nipmuc families this season. We are proudly partnered with the Positive Coaches Alliance, a non-profit organization who works to grow the capacities of coaches, parents, and athletes. This is the first of three speakers (we will have one for athletes and coaches as well) working with the Mendon-Upton community over the next year. Since we are bringing in a guest speaker we are asking that all winter athletes bring at least one caregiver to informational night.

We are pleased to introduce Brian Swan. Coach Brian Swan has experience coaching football, basketball, and baseball at the high school level. He is a former Lead Instructor for Doyle Baseball/Softball Academy, which started in Winter Haven, Florida and is currently in Acworth, Georgia. With Doyle, Coach Swan traveled the country teaching baseball/softball to players ages 5 to 18, as well as certifying coaches on teaching the fundamental skills of the games. Coach Swan currently trains coaches for local youth baseball organizations in the Minneapolis/St Paul area and is a Youth Field Instructor for the Minnesota Twins Community Fund, leading baseball/softball clinics in the five-state area of Twins

Territory. Brian has 25 years of experience in Talent Management and Leadership Development, most recently with Life Time. He has been a workshop facilitator with PCA for the last 10 years, delivering workshops for Coaches, Parents and Players.

Miscoe Hill Youth Theatre presents, “NIght at the Wax Museum” by Craig Sodaro.

The hysterical meets the historical in this comic romp through the wackiest wax museum in history. School’s out for summer but not for six unlucky students who don’t know much about history — they have to re-take history class in summer school. First-year teacher, Heather Fairchild has arranged for them to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project. Though the students’ eyes glaze over with boredom, there’s a twinkle in the wax figures’ eyes when a mysterious incantation brings them to life. King Henry VIII, Cleopatra, Anne Boleyn, Butch Cassidy, Calamity Jane, pirates galore and, Lizzie Borden are just a few of the characters featured. Look out for all of these historical characters coming to Mendon on December 1 & 2 at 7:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased at the door or on click here to purchase tickets online.
