On Monday morning, a parade of yellow school buses formed in front of the Nashua Center of the Arts on Main Street. They were there to deliver hundreds of second-grade students from each of Nashua’s 12 public elementary schools.

The 900 students were guests of Nashua Community Arts. The non-profit, in coordination with Spectacle Live, organized this one-of-a-kind school trip to see the “Pete the Cat” musical. Buses and tickets, and two performances were provided free of charge to the children. The funds were raised at the charity gala held last summer.
