Class of 2028 Monthly Newsletter

Believe it or not, we're in the final stretch of the school year with less than 8 weeks left after we return from April Break! While it is exciting for students to grapple with the fact that less than 2 months stand between now and summer break, we have a lot of learning left to do in class. Reminding students to work hard and reinforcing strong study habits in this final stretch can go a long way in making sure students end the year with skills and grades that they are proud of.

We are excited to announce that they've released the results of several recent writing contests and a few of our very own received recognition:

Avi Bullock's submission was one of three winning pieces from the 9-12 grade band of the district-wide CREC Writes competition!

Aleya Joseph's poem earned "Silver Recognition" in the state-wide Connecticut Student Writer's competition!

Congratulations to both on the recognition, and another congratulations to all of the students who submitted pieces to both contests.

Even though our field trip to see Shaun Boothe's Unauthorized Biography Series ws unfortunately canceled, we luckily still had the opportunity to participate in the second half of the Bushnell's partnership, Day of Creativity. Ninth graders spent the day creating music and art in various creative sessions with teacher artist volunteers from around the state! Activities included puppet making, drumming, journal designing, pillow sewing, bracelet weaving, and collaging.

On Friday, April 4, ninth graders got to explore the CT Energize Bus to get their days off to an energized start! Thanks to Ms. Tenney for coordinating.
