 #Seymour KINDNESS WEEK

 #Seymour Seymour School had an exciting time celebrating the Great Kindness Challenge! We kicked off the week with a lively all-school meeting, where our poetry winners—Aniyah, Zoe, and Lily—shared their beautiful poems. The energy soared as teachers surprised everyone with a flash mob dance, and Mrs. Olechna's class led the charge with a powerful cheer to inspire kindness throughout the school. It was a week full of creativity, fun, and spreading positivity!

 #EGMS January Student of the Month!  Grade 6 Emma D.

 #EGMS Many thanks to East Granby Youth Services (EGYS) for visiting our students during the lunch waves. During the recent "Reset" program workshop, EGYS worked with students on our continued social media safety initiative that we've been working on this month, and there are so many  "do's" and "don'ts"  with  social media behaviors that our middle level students need to learn .  There was the EGYS Booth, a spinning wheel, situational dialogue, and a "post it  note" board about (ironically) what to post and what not to post on social media!  It's important for our whole community to imbue a sense of social media responsibility in our students, and were thankful for EGYS's dedication and involvement on this.  

 #EGMS During International LEGO Day on January 28, students in Mr. Tomala's sixth grade Social Studies class had an exciting opportunity to create scenes using LEGO that reflected their learning about ancient India. The students built impressive representations of Hindu Temples, geographical features of the region, watchtower forts, and Harappan homes. I am proud to say they did a phenomenal job of collaborating, showcasing their creativity, demonstrating their knowledge of the content, and most importantly, having fun.

 #EGMS "Gooooooooooooood MORNING EGMS!!!!"  Many thanks to Kenzie Cormier and Ryan Hamilton for starting off our mornings right everyday in the second quarter.  Nice work!

 #EGMS 160 EGMS Students (...160?!?!  Wow!!!) stayed after school and left some buses relatively empty at dismissal for a Friday!  We had a BLAST!  Great music, lots of food and pizza, and good times had by all!  Special thanks to our Mr. Tomala, Mrs. Petersen, EG Youth Services, and the EGMS Student Government for putting this thing together!  Strobe lights, photo booths, cotton candy, and even some good music going as far back in time as the 1960's!  Many thanks also go to our EGMS Faculty and Staff for joining us and for getting out on the dance floor!  An administrator may have even been out in the big circle doing a Ted Lasso running man at one point... so I heard...

 #EGMS Our teachers and students were reflecting on our own practices with social media and devices as a follow up to our schoolwide lesson with Trooper James White.  To the point, I think we can all agree that "unplugging" is the right thing to do sometimes... even if it's really difficult to do!

 #EGHS #EGMS Musical! Mrs. Mullane and Mrs. Gilbert and their students from EGMS and EGHS are preparing for the Drama Club's "Rock of Ages" musical taking place in late March!

 #EGMS Congratulations to Bartlett Clark, Everett Lowman, Spencer Namnoun, Lacey Payette, Lylah Jones, and Kiele Lizon for participating in the "100 Word Suspense Writing Contest" and for being selected by Young Writers to be published in  Fright Club - Creeping Shadows !   Awesome job!

 #EGMS We had our annual EGMS Winter Concert on Wednesday, January 15, and WOW, not only did the students put on a show, but the house was PACKED!  Special thanks to Ms. Chaloux (Band) and Mrs. Gilbert (Chorus) for leading and teaching these wonderful singers and musicians across the grades in our school.  

 #EGMS Clubs Mr. Fusco, the head "dungeon master" (okay... "advisor") is "supervising" (okay... "playing")  Dungeons and Dragons in D&D Club!  We're happy to see the smiles on all those faces while working their brains off the clock!

 #EGMS Clubs The Starbase Program is back in action at EGMS this year with a very popular club called "Infento".  In this club, students will work with Ms. Zils and Mr. Garner and put their engineering caps on to make actual working scooters.

 #EGHS Representing in Killingly!

 #EGHS East Granby wrestlers Ben, Hendrix, Madeline and Brock at the Killingly Duals.

 #EGMS M any sincere thanks to  East Granby Youth Services (EGYS)  for putting together   this  awesome assembly!  Students convened in the auditorium with their Chromebooks and had an interactive learning experience about social media usage and the digital footprint.  Trooper White brought a positive vibe that was perfect for our middle schoolers, and they had some fun while digging deep into some of the do's and don'ts of social media usage.  The main takeaway: NOTHING is private, and EVERYTHING is permanent... so be kind, safe, and responsible with your technology!
