NAHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION DONATION ENABLES LIVE VIDEO STREAMING OF SCHOOL EVENTS Students at North Attleboro High School will soon have a new tool that will allow live video streams of performances and other events.

According to Association President Patrick Reynolds (‘14), the camera will be made available to not only the Music Department but other high school departments and classes for the purpose of producing professional-grade promotional materials, hype videos, and other class-related presentations.

NORTH ATTLEBORO HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES ELECTION OF OFFICERS There is a new leader at the helm of the North Attleboro High School Alumni Association. By a unanimous vote of its Board of Directors on August 5, Patrick Reynolds, a member of the NAHS Class of 2014, was installed as the organization's fourth president. "We couldn’t be more excited," said out-going NAHS AA President Tom Pirri (Class of 2002). "Patrick brings a new and fresh perspective that will almost certainly allow the Alumni Association to continue to grow and flourish. He has shown an amazing commitment to North Attleboro, and our alma mater, and has a remarkable track record of service and accomplishmentin our community, especially given his comparatively young age. We look forward to watching the Alumni Association having an even stronger positive impact under his stewardship." Reynolds is well-known to most residents. While still a senior at NAHS, he successfully ran for a seat on the town's Board of Selectmen. The youngest person to ever hold that seat, he quickly emerged as a leader, serving multiple terms, including two stints as the Chairman of the Board, which at the time was the highest elected office in the town. He has also been instrumental in creating positive change for the community, and specifically to the schools, as he played a driving role in the successful passage of a Proposition 2 & 1/2 Override which boosted badly needed school spending. Having completed his college undergraduate degree, and subsequent law degree, Patrick is also currently a candidate for the Massachusetts State Legislature in the upcoming primary and general elections. In accepting his new role with the NAHS Alumni Association, Reynolds thanked those who formed the group and have guided its launch since 2005. "I'm thankful for all the work that has been done the past 15 years," said Reynolds. "It's taken a lot of time, effort, and dedication to build a great foundation and momentum. I look forward to continuing that important work." Also elected to serve on the NAHS Alumni Association Board of Directors for the coming year were:

TECHNOLOGY DONATION - December 31, 2015 The NAHS Alumni Association is proud to announce a $6,200 donation for two 55" SHARP High Definition LCD televisions used for digital signage inside the High School. The televisions have a built in USB media player which supports a PC free playback of the displayed content. The televisions are mounted in the school cafeteria as well as in the Main Lobby and the system is setup to display slideshows of promotional or information content. CREATE OPPORTUNITY: GIVE TO THE NORTH ATTLEBORO ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TODAY The past five years have been a time of unprecedented growth at North Attleboro High School. As alumni, we recognize that an education from North Attleboro High School is a gateway to opportunity. North students continue to benefit from an exceptional educational experience that is both career shaping and life changing. There is no better way to continue North Attleboro's tradition of creating opportunity than by making a gift to the North Attleboro High School Alumni Association. The Association provides immediate support for one of the school's most important priorities — technology - because we realize that technology is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. We are happy to announce that the high school is now 100% WiFi, and the School Department is introducing the "Bring Your Own Device" initiative this year in order to accommodate the rapidly evolving nature of education; however, not all of our students have the technology to enable them to take advantage of this new reality. • Our goal is for every student to have access to a laptop so they can take full advantage of its wireless capability. • The current reality at NAHS is that students only have access to a limited number of school owned portable devices during the times that they are in class. The "Bring Your Own Device" initiative aims to integrate portable devices into actual classroom curriculum, enhancing lessons for both students and teachers. A quality education like the one our students deserve, and that North Attleboro Teachers are dedicated to deliver, requires considerable resources. That's why your generosity to North Attleboro High School is essential. The amount you give does not matter as much as giving back to your community, and brightening the future for countless students to come. Alumni support is a key indicator of a strong school system and sends a positive message to the students, showing them that they have a North Attleboro family even after graduation. Please join us in improving the education for thousands of present and future students through your generosity. Click here to download a donation form.

NAHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ESTABLISHES NEW CLASS AGENTS PROGRAM The newest initiative from the NAHS Alumni Association allows graduates to take a more active role in the group by volunteering to serve as a Class Agent. As the association grows and expands it's programs, it is aiming to establish more direct links and points of contact with at least one member of each of the school's graduating classes. In addition to serving as the liaison between the Alumni Association and their fellow classmates, Class agents will help generate news for the group's seasonal e-newsletters, suggest potential nominees for our annual Alumni Awards program, and maybe help identify potential donors who can help us meet our annual fundraising goals. Anyone interested in serving as a Class Agent is invited to e-mail NAHS Alumni Association Secretary Jack Johnson (Class of '80) at jjohnson@naschools.net ON-LINE DONATIONS The NAHS Alumni Association now has the ability to accept on-line donations.
