Fourth graders at Truman School became master architects! They ditched the pencils and picked up the peppermint to build these incredible gingerbread houses.

Check out the awesome details:
Candy Cane Pillars for that perfect holiday look.
M&M Roofs for a pop of color.
Marshmallow Snow to keep things cozy.

It was a day full of sticky fingers, big smiles, and amazing creativity. Great job, Mrs. Gordon’s class! #NHPS

🎁 Spreading Holiday Joy at Lincoln-Bassett Community School! 🎁

Today, every student at Lincoln-Bassett Community School went home with 2–3 toys, thanks to the incredible efforts of our parent engagement coordinator, Keith Young, and the generosity of our community partners.

This special day was made possible through a long-standing partnership with Ryan McFarland, who has served as president of the New Haven Police Emerald Society since 2014, Detective Brianna Sargent of the North Haven Police Department, Chief Christopher Massey of the Guilford Police Department, and the Della Ventura family through the Wishing Wheels Bike Drive.

Mr. McFarland, a retired detective from the New Haven Police Department, began this tradition 11 years ago with just a small van of toys donated to LBCS. Today, that generosity has grown into a 26-foot truck filled with toys, bringing smiles and joy to hundreds of students.

Thank you to everyone who continues to make this tradition possible and helps make the holidays brighter for our LBCS families! 💙✨

There’s no better way to head into the holidays! Truman School third and fourth graders in Mrs. Pasan’s and Mrs. Irizarry’s classes had a blast reading under their blankets with their favorite "reading buddies" (both the stuffed and human kinds!).

This cozy morning officially starts our Home Reading Challenge. The goal? Read every day during vacation!

Challenge accepted! Who’s joining us? #NHPS

Last Thursday, Metropolitan 10th Graders participated in a career-focused Shadow Day!

Students in the Business & Communications Pathway learned about the field of finance at Bank of America.

Digital Media & Technology students got hands-on experience in the field of broadcasting through activities at Make Haven and a visit to WTNH.

Education & Leadership students got to step into their "teacher" shoes as they led activities for elementary students at their sister school, Conte West Hills.

Students in the Law & Political Science pathway explored different aspects of careers in law through their visits to Carmody Law Firm and the New Haven County Courthouse.

Back at school, students reflected upon their experiences and excitedly shared their days with one another! A memorable learning experience for all!

After breaking their screen, a Metro student took ownership—buying a replacement and turning it into a hands-on learning moment in our Makers Space, installing it with support from Edris. Problem-solving, perseverance, and real-world skills in action. Let’s go, Metro!

📚 Metro’s GSA visited Possible Futures in New Haven, a community book space dedicated to amplifying voices from historically marginalized communities. Students browsed, read, and selected books that reflected their lived experiences, challenged dominant narratives, and identified meaningful additions to our school library—followed by thoughtful discussion about why these stories matter.

🌍 Multilingual. Multitalented. Metro.
In early December, Metro students fluent in 2–5 languages joined SCSU for a Seal of Biliteracy celebration. From exploring study-abroad opportunities to learning about careers in interpretation, healthcare, and beyond, our students saw more ways multilingualism opens doors—to college, careers, and the world. 🌎✨

🎨 Students in Metro’s African American/Black & Puerto Rican/Latino Course visited the Yale University Art Gallery to analyze art and artifacts spanning Ancient Africa through modern America. Through close observation, discussion, and sketching replicas—including Martin Wong’s La Vida—students examined how art reflects the perspectives, identities, and lived experiences of people across historical eras. #NHPS

K–4th grade bilingual students from Truman School took a special trip to the Bridgeport Cabaret to see the Santa Show, and the energy was incredible!

The students had a blast experiencing the music, the lights, and the joy of live theater. It was a wonderful day of community and festive fun for our young learners!

A HUGE thank you to the New Haven Public Schools Multilingual Department! They fully supported and funded this trip, making it possible for our Truman students to enjoy this amazing experience. We are so grateful for their ongoing commitment to our bilingual programs and our families!
