Greetings!
Come join us for the annual May Day Celebration in Nelson on Sunday, May 1st.
Hale and hearty residents can begin the May Day festivities as early as 5:30 am on the Nelson Town Common. Greet May Day morning with the Harrisville Morris Women and Jack in the Green as they dance the sun up over the hills of Nelson. Later, we'll come together at about 10:30 am on the Town Common, some to dance and others to visit with those we may have not seen since the first snowflake fell. The children are delighted with the bright colors of the May Pole ribbons, waiting their turn to help weave the ribbons when it's time for the May Pole Dance. But first, we are treated to the trumpet sounding of Jack In the Green as he heralds the arrival of another beautiful Spring in Nelson. Read More >>>

If you can pack a lunch but can't deliver it, arrangements can be made. Thank you!

| Show Your School Spirit!
| Every year the students at Nelson Elementary School compete to have their drawing adorn the school's T-shirt for the year.
This year's winner is 2nd grader Fallon Smith, daughter of Joy and Peter Smith. Of course, the theme this year has to do with gardening! And Fallon's imagination really shines through. Congratulations, Fallon!
Fallon's design will adorn a T-shirt, either a short-sleeved T-shirt or long-sleeved T-shirt in sizes children's small through large, or long-sleeved or short-sleeved T-shirt for adults in sizes small through 2X. The shirts are yellow with green lettering.
You can download an order form here: Order Form
The T-shirts cost $10.00 for short-sleeves, or $15.00 for long-sleeved. |

| These Houses Need a Home! |  Recently Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Castor visited the children at the Nelson Elementary School to help them with a wood-working project. Under their watchful guidance, the students were able to construct many beautiful (and now colorful) birdhouses.
Now the students would like to send them out into the community. Since they are so beautiful, they are hoping to have them used in places that lots of people (as well as birds) will see.
 Do you have a home for a free and colorful birdhouse?
Contact Kristin Mullins at the school: 603-847-3408
