Cutline: As part of Freshman Orientation at Nashoba Tech, freshmen had to work with Kick-Off Mentors to perform a dance routine in the Performing Arts Center, and these freshmen really got into it, showing their moves.

Three Chelmsford residents helped welcome Nashoba Valley Technical High School freshman this week as Kick-Off Mentors, or KOMs.

The three Chelmsford residents were Charles Clark, Michael Foley and Corey Henry.

Nashoba Valley Technical High School welcomed 186 freshmen to the school with a two-day orientation led by the KOMs.

KOMs are juniors who are trained to coordinate and run orientation and to act as mentors to the freshmen throughout the school year, helping them to acclimate themselves to the school, and being available at all times to assist and answer questions.

Students are chosen to be KOMs by staff at the end of their sophomore year.
