Congratulations to Alejandra Reyes and Rocio Hogan-Perez who were among the 48 winners from across Connecticut to be winners in the CHET Dream Big essay competition. Both students from Mrs. Brunson's class won a financial contribution to a college savings accounts. CHET received 3,000 entries. What an amazing achievement.
During the 2016-2017 school year, the art department worked with Debe Sham, a Yale Fellow from China on a project called "New Haven Green and i". Students in grade 1 were asked to brainstorm with students in grade 6 to build a miniature prototype of a structure that would benefit the people of New Haven. Selected prototypes were then displayed on the New Haven Green for all to enjoy. Upon Debe's return to China, Burger Collection sponsored her to do a solo exhibition in Hong Kong and to publish a booklet about "New Haven Green & i 2017." This work is now being featured on the Asia Art Pacific in Issue 107 Mar/April 2018 and features some of our talented Davis Street School students.

From art work that represented Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas, to all of the outstanding performances, it was truly wonderful. Please enjoy some pictures from the day! Select Choir students grades 2-8 went to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular Show in NYC on Wednesday, December 6, 2017. Following the performance, they dined at Ellen's Stardust diner which features singing waitstaff. The dancing Rockettes, the orchestra, and singers were amazing. The digital backdrop and sets, as well as the 3-D scenes were impressive!  What will the city of the future look like to you?" 4th and 5th grade students are working with community partner, Arts for Learning Connecticut, envisioning the New Haven of the future. Each week students are working with visual artists, Jennifer Rae Cherrington and Gerald Moore, or spoken word artists, Versatile Poetiq, and Carol Glynn, to think about their place in the city as people and how it might be designed in the future. Here students are creating a sculpture and discussing the future of New Haven.

Davis Street students received a visit from Ellie the Elephant this week. Ellie spoke to K-4 students about how they can help animals suffering in captivity at places like circuses and marine parks and teaches students to have empathy and respect for all living beings. They were all quite impressed to meet a talking elephant!
School officials and volunteers got the school year started early, with the hope of giving kids a good early start to their academic careers.
The crew spent Saturday knocking doors during an annual canvas of city neighborhoods to speak with families of kindergarteners about the importance of attending school regularly, of setting aside family “talk time” each day, of making time to read as well.
In addition to talking to (“engaging” with) parents, the canvassers left packets with families. The packets included an English-language and Spanish-language children’s book, an “Art of School Success” bookmark along with a New Haven Youth Map bookmark, and a public-library-card application.
This was the fifth year of the canvas, organized by the public schools and United Way of Greater New Haven with the help of Comcast. (read about a prior year’s canvas here.)
Two hundred volunteers signed up this year, according to United Way’s Peter Schaller. Half hit the streets on Saturday; the other half plan to conduct another canvas Monday afternoon.
