Greetings CAMS Families:
Please join us in celebrating our six History Day participants who worked on their projects for several months and showcased their hard work at the Mansfield Regional Contest. The contest took place at the University of Connecticut on March 29th. We are so very proud of their dedication and perseverance!
Not only that, but we are home to the first place winners under the Junior Exhibit Board category! Congratulations Javen Gamble and Lenny Reyes for a job well done!
Javen and Lenny will be headed to States in May at Central Connecticut State University (date will be announced this week). If you’d like to support the boys or the SOAR Program in preparing for the State History Day competition please reach out to the SOAR teacher, Ms. Richardson at jrichardson@blmfld.org.
We also ended last week with Parent-Teacher Conferences. The goals were to review your child’s progress and plan for improvements in the fourth quarter.
Our goal is to keep you informed and partner with you to raise student achievement.
Thank you, parents and guardians for all you do!
