Creating Community:

  • Students organized a celebration for their parents before Christmas which included an original play with an original set and costumes, a dragon parade, an art exhibit, and a dance performance.
  • Staff organized a Papa Gino’s fundraiser and raised over $600
  • Students invited Uncas BRIDGES to play a basketball game in their gym- this was very popular and they won!
  • After achieving 10,000 minutes of reading as a site, the students and staff invited parents to a celebration with food from around the world and lots of good cheer.

Serving:

  • Students Sang and made cards for mentally disabled adults at the Arc of New London County
  • Organized a blanket, toy, and food drive and made their own blankets for animals at the humane society
  • Worked with a local artist on drawings of these abandoned animals at the humane society for an exhibit at a local art gallery. The exhibit will open March 12 at the NAC Gallery in downtown Norwich

Reading:

  • Every day the 30-minute homework period is followed by 15 minutes of silent reading for all students
  • At the beginning of the program, staff and students set a goal to read for 10,000 minutes as a group- this goal was accomplished within 2.5 months.
