Today Connecticut State Treasurer Erik Russell visited Mauro Sheridan School in honor of Hispanic Cultural Heritage Month, Constitution Day, and our monthly theme, Great Expectations. Mr. Russell read to Mrs. Puglisi's kindergarten class. A great morning!
The New Haven Board of Education congratulated its new student member, Daniela McTiernan Huge (fifth from left), who was sworn in at last night's meeting.
Edgewood School held a meaningful morning announcement program to observe September 11th. Fourth-grade teacher Jacklyn Tolkin opened with a soulful rendition of "God Bless America," and our 7th graders led the school in the Pledge of Allegiance. Following a brief message on the bravery and compassion shown by everyday heroes, music teacher Hillyn Natter led students Mei Lin Perrone, Eliza Maeve Borne-Brennan, and Sekai Tengatenga in singing the National Anthem. We wrapped up our time with a moment of silence, remembering that kindness, bravery, and unity make us strong. ❤️

To kick off the new school year on a high note, Jepson School staged an assembly celebrating students who had achieved perfect attendance during the first week of school. The event brought the entire student body and staff together to emphasize the importance of showing up every day ready to learn.
Students with perfect attendance were entered into a raffle, with numerous prizes handed out throughout the assembly to reward their dedication and consistency right out of the gate.
Teachers took to the stage to compete against each other in a series of "Minute to Win It" challenges. The crowd cheered as staff members went head-to-head in a Pencil Grab; Rock, Paper, Scissors, a Free-Throw Contest, Cup Stacking, and the Mummy Wrap.
It was a great way to build community
