A MESSAGE FROM MR. D
It’s hard to believe, but this is the final edition of Cougar Tales for the 2022-23 school year! Only 3.5 days left of the school year, but still plenty of great things happening over the next few days!
Congratulations to our Connecticut Middle Level Scholar-Leaders, Sophia Gibson and Ava Pomerenke! They were celebrated along with other 8th grade students across the state at Aqua Turf. Ms. Gray and Mrs. Carlone were selected by these students to attend the dinner as the staff member of their choice. It was a great night!
If I don’t get the opportunity to see you before the school year closes, have a wonderful summer filled with family, friends, and outdoor activities. If there is anything I can do for you over the summer, please do not hesitate to reach out.
