Our students and staff were treated to a show by “Surcari,” featuring traditional instruments from many Spanish-speaking countries in South & Central America, The Caribbean, Spain & Mexico. The students were thoroughly enthralled and participated in the experience. Incredible!

Today our Eli Whitney Elementary Student Council put together comfort bags for children with extended hospital stays through Bradys Smile. Although our amazing student council put the bags together, it was a whole school effort to fill the bags with donations! #WhitneyProud🐳

Our 5th graders are celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth2024 by sharing their learning of some of the many heroes and influential people of color with live wax museum! Such an inspirational day for all! Eli Whitney Elementary

Grateful for the professional learning happening at my kids’ school. This is the work that strengthens a school.

This is my why. Finding the joy of being with students and seeing their creativity in action and engaging in lesson observations! Big thanks to our Bunnell Bulldogs for helping judge Eli Whitney Elementary invention convention! CIC Stratford Public Schools

A big thank you to this dynamic team! Not only did they dedicate extensive time last year to training in Restorative Practices and climate initiatives, but they're also spending this summer updating our training materials to ensure we're ready for the new school year. You rock!
