Last Friday, the Mauro Sheridan Band had the incredible opportunity to work with Perry So of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra.

He spent time mentoring 8th grade trombonist Gabrielle Hilton, who will be conducting a piece in our Spring Concert (May 20). Gabrielle has been preparing through full score study, learning every part in piece, and developing her skills as a student conductor.

During the visit, Perry guided her on how to communicate with the ensemble through gesture, presence, and expression. No words

A powerful example of student leadership and musicianship in action at Mauro Sheridan.

Martinez fourth graders took learning beyond the classroom and into nature! On their trips to Common Ground High School, students explored West Rock State Park, hiking and discovering how water flows through our ecosystem all the way to Long Island Sound.

Future environmental leaders in action!

Former New Haven Fire Chief John Alston visited Mauro Sheridan School and presented on life skills! He now works with Global Youth Initiative Worldwide. Grade 6 classes learned the importance of education, values, critical thinking, leadership, proper behavior in school, and community. Mr. Alston reminded students to stay focused, reflecting our monthly theme. #NHPS

Our Nathan Hale 8th graders got a front-row seat to the future of science with special visits from the experts at Medtronic and Halda Therapeutics. From exploring biomechanics and medical devices to diving into the science of DNA and protein interactions for cancer research, our students saw exactly how their classroom lessons come to life. It wasn’t just a science lesson—it was a career preview! Students got to learn about the pathways into biomedical engineering and biotechnology, proving that the next big innovation could start right here. Huge thanks to our guest speakers for inspiring the next generation of innovators and to school counselor, Fidelma Keogh, for organizing this career awareness experience! #careerawareness #medtronic
