Thank you Representative Jim Himes for your visit!

💕 Thank you to Congressman Jim Himes for visiting Brookside Elementary School to host his annual “Valentines for Veterans” initiative. Students loved the opportunity to share their creativity by making Valentine’s Day cards to honor our military veterans.

🇺🇸 We’re also grateful to the veterans who joined Congressman Himes, sharing their service stories and answering thoughtful questions from students. Their time and service made this experience especially meaningful.

Thank you as well to Mayor Barbara Smyth for joining the visit and celebrating the incredible artistic talents of our young students. It was a memorable day of learning and community connection.

A volunteer committee of NPS school counselors were hard at work this June, helping to write the district’s Developmental Guidance Curriculum in Workforce Development for Grade 2.

This work will be implemented through monthly classroom lessons co-taught by our school counselors and the classroom teachers in Grades K-2 across the district and focus on the following state standard for Workforce Development: Identifying personal values, personality, abilities and work interests in relation to career options and the world of work.

Scholars will explore and identify their likes and dislikes, their hobbies and favorite leisure activities. They will learn the reasons that people choose a particular job or career, and they will define personality and how it influences a person’s career choices.

Thank you to our Workforce Development School Counselor June 2024 Committee Members:

Ayesha McFadden-Harris from Fox Run Elementary School
Fabiola Estevez-Artiles from the Kendall College and Career Academy
Grace D’Onofrio from Future Ready Programs
Lilliana Murillo from the Center for Global Studies
Poliana Coelho from PTECH-Norwalk
