🎊Cheers to Another Year!🎊⁠ ⁠ One week ago the enti 🎊Cheers to Another Year!🎊⁠ ⁠ One week ago the entire #AJLAcommunity gathered to celebrate a year of learning in our annual "Moving Up" Ceremony.⁠ ⁠ We recognized outstanding faculty members and students with three very special awards and the entire audience thundered with applause. ⁠ ⁠ All of our teachers gave moving speeches to their classes, as they lovingly passed them on to the next grade. However, the most exciting "move up" was that of our 7th grade cohort of students who are now officially part of AJLA's first-ever eighth grade class! Next year promises to be an exciting one for them and all of us.⁠ ⁠ It was a moving morning, and we could not be more proud of the hard work of every AJLA student this school year. Congratulations to all!
🌎 Taking on the world 🌍⁠ ⁠ AJLA students have been 🌎 Taking on the world 🌍⁠ ⁠ AJLA students have been out and about these last several weeks on field trips to several different places.⁠ ⁠ For each of our grades, these kinds of trips often serve as a culmination to a year of thematic units, and our students are thrilled to be immersed in what they've been learning about. From trips to NYC to visit the Met and the Statue of Liberty to CT local aquarium and museum visits, AJLA's students have been on the go!⁠ ⁠ Field Trips are such important experiences for our students. Right now we are in the midst of our AJLA Spring Fundraiser: Supply our Success (link in bio), and you can help us fund more of these meaningful moments. ⁠ ⁠ On our fundraising website, you'll find this and a variety of other opportunities to give. We invite you to support the areas that resonate most with you. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity.
🎣 Teach a child to fish... 🎣⁠ ⁠ This semester, AJL 🎣 Teach a child to fish... 🎣⁠ ⁠ This semester, AJLA partnered with the Trout in the Classroom program to raise our very own brown trout. Through studying their life cycles in STEAM classes, students practiced observation and data-recording skills while caring for the fish over the past five months. ⁠ ⁠ Representatives from Aspetuck Land Trust helped coordinate the trout’s release into the wild, and our second graders joined for this special final step in the process. ⁠ ⁠ Students also learned basic fishing skills from volunteers with CT DEEP and thanks to a generous donation from Trout Unlimited and Bass Pro Shops, each child received a brand new rod and reel. With their new skills and equipment in hand, second graders spent a beautiful spring afternoon fishing with family members before finally releasing the brown trout into Bunnell Pond here in Bridgeport.⁠ ⁠ Partnerships like these are part of what makes AJLA so special. Right now we are in the midst of our AJLA Spring Fundraiser: Supply our Success (link in bio), and you can help us build more of these meaningful connections that lead to important experiences for our students.⁠ ⁠ On our fundraising website, you'll find this and a variety of other opportunities to give. We invite you to support the areas that resonate most with you. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity.⁠ ⁠
