Elementary field trip to the Bushnell Performing Arts Center, Hartford Symphony Orchestra.

“We tend to think that the realm of music is the privileged area of some happy few. Experience has taught us, however, that if offered the right kind of education from a very early age onward, anyone is capable of entering the realm of music. Not everyone has the talent to practice music at an artistic level, or create new work, but everyone can reach a stage where they can enjoy it. ”

Maria Montessori

6th Years Host Game Night!

Dear Families,

Get ready for a night of fun, laughter, and community! 🎉 On April 10th, we’re excited to host a special Family Game Night at our school—and you’re invited!

From 5-7 pm, bring the whole family and enjoy an evening filled with pizza, board games, and plenty of time to connect and socialize with other families. In addition to the games, we’ll also have a delicious bake sale table and a Game Night–themed basket for a chance to win something fun!

This is a wonderful opportunity to come together as a school community and enjoy a relaxed, family-centered evening. Best of all, all proceeds from the event will go toward our 6th Year fundraising efforts.

We hope you can join us for this exciting night—we can’t wait to see you there!
