Page 6 Local Town Pages www.norwoodtownnews.com October 2016 Crafting in Norwood is a Community Event! by Bella Caggiano Craft fair enthusiasts, mark your calendars! One of the best craft fairs in the area will again be hosted at Norwood High School, 245 Nichols St., on Saturday, October 15, 9 a.m-2:30 p.m. Every October, the town of Norwood hosts a favorite fall shopping stop for crafting fans at the Annual Craft Affair at Norwood. This event, however, means a lot more than just a fun and successful shopping day. In addition to developing into one of the premier craft venues in the state, it is a very successful fundraiser for Norwood High School and local organizations. The 'Affair' includes approximately 70 crafters who travel to Norwood from all over New England to showcase their creative wares. In addition to sewn, crocheted and knitted pieces, there will be chocolate and honey, items for pets, jewelry, holiday decor, wreaths, stained glass, jams and jellies, mirrors, paintings, 3-tiered plates, bags, scarves, soap, wooden toys, painted glass, quilts, ornaments, hats and mittens, cards, plastic canvas, hand towels, hair bows, hen houses, ceramics, puzzle lights, decoupage plates and doll clothes, and much more! The huge assortments of raffles are always a popular corner with chances to win many handmade items, gift certificates and Mustang memorabilia! The history of A Craft Affair was a brilliant concept created by former Norwood High School teacher Paula Pelaggi as a fundraiser for the Norwood Post Prom Party. Because of its economical success, however, it has grown to not only aid its original beneficiary, but also provides donations to numerous Norwood school organizations. In addition to its positive attendance figures, crafters enroll in A Craft Affair because the day is truly a community event. Norwood students and athletes offer their services preparing the gym and setting up tables and assisting crafters carrying their items from and to their cars and providing their breaks throughout the day. They also help run the raffles and bake sales. While a large amount of the proceeds go towards the Post Prom Party, any group or team that has students helping at the craft fair is eligible to apply for funds for their club from the day's profits. Past organizations have included, Norwood sports teams, the drama club, cheerleaders, SAAD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and the fine arts department after school programs. What is considered one of the leading craft fairs in the area, A Craft Affair at Norwood sees an average of 700 customers walk through the door, while in years during a stronger economy, as many as 1,000 to 2,000 have bought tickets. With that kind of popularity, the craft fair is considered the largest Norwood High School fundraiser and is typically able to donate $4,000 to the Post Prom Party Committee and up to $300 for each school organization that applies. Tickets are $3 for adults, and $2 for seniors and children under 12 and are available at the door the day of the event. Purchase hostess gifts and decorative items for the holidays, or come by and pick out something handmade and beautiful as a personal fall present!

October 2016 Local Town Pages www.norwoodtownnews.com Page 7 Last Paige, Tutoring & Test Prep Practice, Opens in Norwood Lisa Paige, PhD, is happy to announce the opening of her new tutoring and test prep practice in Norwood Center on Washington Street. Lisa, who holds degrees from Harvard University and Bryn Mawr College, formerly worked at the now closed Chyten/4.0 Educational centers in Millis and Westwood. “Tutors and families were sad to see 4.0 Education close,” Lisa says. “It was the only locally owned test-prep and tutoring center in the area, and was staffed only by tutors with higher degrees.” Lisa says that although her practice is rapidly filling, at the moment she is still accepting new students. In addition to complete test prep (SSAT, SAT, ACT, ISEE), she also offers subject tutoring in writing, English lit, pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry, as well as coaching on the college essay, Common App and individual college supplements, and college interviews. She partners and shares mutual referrals with local college counselors and top-quality educators with expertise in areas she doesn’t teach (calculus, chemistry, biology, physics, Spanish, and French). Lisa urges parents to help their teens avoid stress by starting them early with the New SAT prep. “With the advent of the New SAT, students need to start prepping well in advance, especially for the reading comp and math sections,” she says. “The reading selections in particular can be murder.” For that reason, she is offering free diagnostic tests and consultations to parents of sophomores and juniors. “Many of the SAT readings are from literary fiction and historical documents students should be reading anyway,” she adds. “High school English and history teachers are doing a great job, but there is only so much they can assign. Students need to augment that with independent reading or they will be in shock when they take the New SAT.” Lisa also consults with Open Door Education in Acton and Signet Education in Cambridge.
