I'm thrilled to share a recent highlight from our school community! On March 28th, we ended the week on an incredibly positive note with our much-anticipated Attendance Breakfast. Nearly 200 families joined us, making the event a tremendous success and a reflection of the strong bonds within our school community. 

The atmosphere was filled with warmth, laughter, and plenty of delicious food! Our guests enjoyed a hearty breakfast spread, and it was wonderful to see families connecting and sharing moments together. The food and the company made the event truly special. 

We also achieved a new milestone—completing the highest number of family surveys to date! This accomplishment speaks to the dedication and enthusiasm of our families, staff, and students. It’s a powerful reminder that small achievements can create a ripple effect, leading to larger victories that strengthen our school culture. 

Events like this reinforce the importance of building connections and fostering open communication. Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and made this event unforgettable. Let’s continue working together to make every moment count! 

Ms. Alexis Charney - Pre K 4 Paraeducator - reads to our students during our Town Meeting.

On Friday, March 14th, during our monthly Town Meeting, students and staff wore green for Cerebal Palsy Awareness.  They were read a story about Cerebal Palsy by our Paraeducator, Alexis Charney.  In support of one of our fellow Barack Obama team members we collected and donated over $200 in an effort to give back to an organization that researches solutions and helps those who have Cerebral Palsy.

 We believe in nurturing creativity and imagination in students from an early age. That's why we partnered with the renowned New Haven Ballet to provide our first graders with an unforgettable artistic experience. For the past few weeks, our students have been stepping, twirling, and leaping under the guidance of a trained ballet professional, discovering the joy and discipline of dance. The program began with introducing our young learners to the fundamental principles of ballet, emphasizing the importance of posture, balance, and coordination. The New Haven Ballet instructor brings years of experience and a unique ability to connect with children, making the basics of ballet not only accessible but exhilarating. Every lesson is designed to accommodate all levels, focusing on developing the physical and cognitive skills that come through dance. Through the program, students learn: - Basic ballet terminology and positions - Simple routines that encourage memory and sequencing - The importance of teamwork and synchronization - Physical coordination and flexibility As they glide across the classroom, these young dancers are building more than just artistic skills—they're gaining confidence and learning to work together in harmony, valuable skills that transcend beyond the dance floor. At Obama, we’re proud to offer such enriched extracurricular programs that broaden our students' experiences and enhance their development. Dance is just the beginning; through partnerships like these, the possibilities are truly endless. Stay tuned for more stories about how our students are discovering their passions through incredible programs like this one!
