Make Monday Matter

What an incredible way to start the day yesterday! 🐝✨I had the absolute pleasure of being at the Barack Obama Magnet University School (BOMUS) this morning for their inaugural Spelling Bee.

Huge shoutout and thank you to the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. for turning Principal Baker’s vision into reality for our students. But honestly? The absolute best part of the morning was watching the students cheer on their classmates and congratulate the winner. That’s what community is all about! 💙

Pastor Scott Marks spoke with young fathers at the Dr. Mayo Early Childhood Center about the importance of their role, not only in their children's lives, but in their community. #NHPS

PAL visited Nathan Hale School yesterday. Amazing experience for our entire school community to explore the trucks, police activity, therapy dogs, and K-9 units. The community came out to celebrate.

The Mauro-Sheridan P.T.O. hosted its annual pancake breakfast with pops, uncles, and guardians. Sweet!

Today the New Haven Adult and Continuing Education Center conferred high school diplomas on 151 adult learners ranging in age and background. Thirteen of the graduates achieved certification as nursing assistants, and one celebrated achieving U.S. citizenship. The students and honored guests who spoke cited the resilience the students had demonstrated in balancing jobs, families, and personal challenges while earning diplomas and career credentials. #NHPS
