Dear ISD Parents, 

Our second and third graders, along with other students from the Greenwich schools, attended a concert given by the Greenwich Symphony this week.  The students came back very excited about their field trip.  In conversations I had with several of them, they really enjoyed the musical adventure, which for many students was a first time experience to attend a concert.  It serves as a good reminder that as educators and parents, we need to constantly be mindful that learning, whether the arts or academics, is vital in the development of the whole child.  

This was certainly evident in the students who were recognized at this week's Community Service Awards ceremony.  It was inspirational to hear of what some of the young people in Greenwich are accomplishing by turning their passions into helping others.  They serve as a wonderful example to the younger students, who represented all the elementary schools.  Our own grade 5 student representative, Jessica Marzullo, I am certain will follow in their footsteps.

If you have not signed up for one of the Science Nights on either Tuesday, 4/9, or Thursday, 4/11, please consider doing so.  Students, accompanied by parents, will have the opportunity to have a hands-on experience seeing science concepts come to life right before their eyes.  Thank you to the PTA for sponsoring this event.
