Cloonan Literacy and STEM Night 2013

Cloonan MS offered a literacy night at their school with a STEM theme! This innovative idea connected both topics and allowed for a discussion of the role of the CCSS ELA standards for SS, Science and Technical subjects to be combined with a good 'ol family fun night!

Special thanks to the behind the scene team who pulled this off of Nancy Louth and Emily Korn.

Great job to all of the teachers who dedicated their time to preparing for and presenting at the evening's 11 workshops!

Also, kudos to the PTO for adding to the fun and excitement.

Way to go Principal Dave Tate and Asst. Principal Laureen Mody for assisting with, encouraging and participating in this kind of evening!

Cloonan Literacy and STEM presentation tonight!

WFSB features the "Awesome" Davenport LEGO WeDo club

The Awesome Foundation provided the $1000 grant that allowed for the purchase of the Lego WeDo gear for Davenport. WFSB is covering the work of the Awesome Foundation and their work. As a result they may use a couple of photos from Davenport on a TV segment called Better CT. Below was the blurb from Andrew Bangser of the Foundation and attached are the two images they selected.

“Better Connecticut (WFSB) is interviewing the Awesome Foundation tomorrow (Tuesday 1/29). As past grantees, I wanted you to see the photos I've sent them - pictures that may or may not be used during the 5 minute segment. Since these pictures have previously appeared on our or your website(s), I assume you're ok with them.”
