CAIS SOAR students investigated why people migrated to Connecticut at the CT Museum of Culture and History. They enjoyed hands-on simulations and dove deep with critical thinking about all the reasons people from a variety of cultures would migrate to our state throughout different time periods, while building investigative research skills with primary source materials.
They were complimented by museum staff for their focus and level of engagement!

Hello CAIS families,
We are reaching out to share that the Penguin Patch Holiday Shop will return next week Monday, December 11- Friday, December 15.
It is a way for students to learn about the gift of giving while also raising funds for our student activities account. Items range in cost from $0.25 to $14.50 and we get a 25% profit.
Thus far this year our fundraisers have supported student player t-shirts in the staff vs. student basketball game, card games for use during lunch waves, and a bowling field trip for students that completed their math and reading summer assignments. We are excited to offer this opportunity to our students.
Check your email for more details!
Please reach out to Gail Jorden at gjorden@blmfld.org with any questions.
