Students! Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 21, NPS has a scheduled half-day. That means Our House will be opening and closing earlier than usual! We are open from 12:00-5:30, offering rides from NHS around 12:15, serving a special lunch around 1:00, and giving rides home around 5:00. We look forward to seeing you for our second half-day of the year! Come on your own or bring a friend.

Is someone you know new to Our House and curious about our programs? Bring them by and give them a tour. Even though half days are different than our regular Wednesdays, it could be a great time to see the House in action while accommodating after-school schedules that could be conflicting during a typical evening. As a reminder, we offer our programs to high school students on Nantucket. Find out more on our website:

Good afternoon, students! We hope that everyone has enjoyed their long weekend so far. Please note that tomorrow, Monday, October 12, 2026, Our House will be closed in honor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. We will resume our regular hours on Tuesday from 2:30-7:30, and look forward to seeing new and familiar faces. Today and every day, we would especially like to recognize the Wôpanâak Tribe, the people who are indigenous to Nantucket Island, other parts of Southeastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The Wôpanâak people are a central part of Nantucket’s intricate history, and we encourage and support making reparations and fighting for the liberation of all people Native to occupied land worldwide. Please reach out if you would like to learn more!

Understanding the real risks of caffeine consumption can be life-saving for people of all ages, especially teenagers. With energy drinks such as Monster becoming more and more popular amongst young adults, there has been a significant rise in caffeine-related deaths in otherwise healthy teens. Parents and health-care professionals have begun to speak out against the huge and sometimes fatal risk that uncontrolled access to this much caffeine can have on developing bodies, including heart and brain health. Students, please be aware of the risks of caffeine consumption and limit your daily caffeine intake to the recommended 100 mg.

Have you heard about the Dinner Program at Our House? At 6:00 PM, Monday-Friday, students and mentors join one another around several tables and enjoy a nutritious meal, conversations without the distraction of screens, and find community in each other’s company.

Group dinners, which once fit well around one large table, have now grown by over triple in attendance, and this year, Our House has gone from offering dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, to offering dinner 5 nights per week. Last school year, we served over 1,334 meals from September to June. This would not be possible without the dedication of our donors, Tom Proch, the Community Foundation of Nantucket, Nourish Nantucket, and The Fairgrounds.

Not only do our nightly dinners offer practical life skills such as table etiquette, sharing responsibility, the importance of nutrition, and face-to-face socialization; they encourage social-emotional skills, a kind of security that comes from finding commonality in diversity, strength in differences, and joy in community.
