Welcome!
Dear Students & Parents,
Over the course of the last few years, it became evident that choir and band/music ensembles should be one booster organization. After all, there are many kids and parents who overlap with both groups. This decision was reached after many meetings and discussions around what would ultimately be best for our students and the health of
the booster organization and its function. We want our kids to have the best opportunities to fundraise for trips, be given opportunities for performance and grow overall as one music organization.
Nutley Music Boosters Association (NMBA) announced that effective July 1, 2022, all vocal music operations will be merging into Nutley Music Boosters, once again, creating one music boosters organization that will be supporting all of our vocal and instrumental music ensembles.
The support that FONS previously provided to the NHS and JWMS theater programs will now be known as the Nutley Schools Theatrical Society (NSTS). This is a booster club to support the theater endeavors in our schools.
Theater is a unique opportunity to bring together many forms of art; singing, acting, musicians, lighting, sound, set design, set building, videography, photography, graphic design, stage management, front of house operations. It was necessary to form a booster club that could support this and only this because of the sheer size of the projects associated with it.
We are always looking to improve and build upon the production values we have already seen. This will take the help and support of our parents and students.
The hope is to have our students doing most of the hands-on work with parents providing the support necessary to make it all happen.
The Board of Directors of the the Nutley Schools Theatrical Society (NSTS) will be as
follows:
Jenine Grzywinski, President (jenine.grzywinski@gmail.com)
Gina Papeo, Vice President (ginapapeo@yahoo.com)
Andrea Prince, Secretary (broadway93@aol.com)
Amber Duca, Treasurer (alduca@aol.com)
Robin Duffy, Treasurer (pinkapalooza159@gmail.com)
Maria Hamlin, Fundraising (mhamlin346@gmail.com)
If you have a student who is interested in theater arts, whether on stage or behind the scenes, and you would like to become involved with the Nutley SchoolsTheatrical Society, please contact Jenine Grzywinski at Nutleytheatre@gmail.com.
Very truly yours,
The NSTS Board
NSTS
Our NSTS is the organization that supports our Theater students and includes ALL parents. It allows the Directors to focus on developing the talent of our students by coordinating activities and by providing additional resources where necessary. We work closely with the directors, who are also members of the Boosters Board, to assist them in whatever way possible.
