For years, these schools have been more than just places of learning—they have been vibrant centers of growth, connection, and opportunity. Generations of students have built friendships, discovered passions, and achieved important milestones within their walls. Dedicated educators and staff have fostered supportive environments where students could thrive academically and personally. Families and community members have played an essential role in shaping the strong, welcoming cultures that define both schools.
While this transition marks the end of an important chapter, it also offers an opportunity to come together and celebrate all that these school communities have meant to so many.
We invite all members of our community to attend the following farewell events:
Global Experience Magnet School Farewell Event
Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.
44 Griffin Road South, Bloomfield, CT
Carmen Arace Intermediate School Farewell Event
Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.
390 Park Avenue, Bloomfield, CT
These gatherings are designed to bring together current and former students, families, staff, and alumni to reflect on shared experiences, reconnect with one another, and celebrate the lasting impact of these institutions. Attendees will have the opportunity to revisit cherished spaces, share stories, and recognize the many contributions that have made each school unique.
Although these buildings will close, the spirit of Global Experience Magnet School and Carmen Arace Intermediate School will continue to live on through the people and stories they have shaped.
We invite all members of our community to join us in honoring and celebrating these remarkable schools and the legacy they leave behind.
