The students from Nelson School will be performing an original musical adaptation of Oliver Twist at Keene High School at 6:30 pm on Friday.   Admission is free (donations gladly accepted).   Oliver Twist is an original musical adaptation of the classic Dickens tale of the orphaned boy whose good and sturdy spirit support him through the difficult and exciting times of growing up in Victorian England.

The one hour performance is the culmination of a week long residency with Children’s Stage Adventures.  The play was cast on Monday, rehearsals take place all week, and they will be production ready by Friday evening!  Nelson School has worked with Children’s Stage Adventures in previous years and it is always amazing how much the students can learn in one week and what a good production they produce.

If you cannot attend the evening performance, please feel free to join us for the dress rehearsal at 10 am Friday at Keene High School.

The Nelson School would like to thank all of you who were able to attend as well as our dedicated volunteers: Fallon Smith, Megan Schillemat, Angela Creasey, Lauren Lucas, Marcus Bean, Earl Creasey, Mark Bean, Linda Bean, Charlie Lang, Joy Birdsey, and Vicki Dowley.

This past Saturday, January 2nd, the Nelson School was filled with conversation, good cheer, and delicious edibles.  Charlie Lang was once again our Master Chef, making his fabulous pancakes.  Ham, breakfast potatoes, granola & yogurt, and fruit salad rounded out the meal and both children and adults alike enjoyed a variety of beverages, including the apple juice fountain.  Gluten Free options were offered as well and these were heartily appreciated.  The Nelson School would like to express their thanks to all of you who were able to attend.  We ended up serving 72 breakfasts and making a profit of a little over $550 for the 6th Grade Trip Fund.  It couldn’t have happened (and wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun) without the following enthusiastic volunteers; Fallon Smith, Kody Gray, Molly Gray, Mirela Weis, Megan Schillemat, Nicole Schillemat, Caitlyn Schillemat, Amber Schillemat, Ryan French, Cody Kendrick, Paige Brnger, Charlie Lang, Maury & Martha Collins, Joy Birdsey, Cheryl Schillemat, and Rhonda Gray.
