📍Our crew had an incredible in-service day at Lost in New Haven, diving into our city’s rich story from 1638 to the present. We spent the afternoon exploring immersive exhibits, connecting our own family histories to artifacts, and brainstorming ways to bring these living lessons back to our students.
🏛️ We cannot wait for our Conte Lions to experience this cultural hub and see their own place in New Haven’s ongoing story!
🦁 A huge thank you to Rob Greenberg for the inspiring tour, Ms. Rosa for connecting our crew with the museum, and Steff Smelser for the endless educational opportunities that the future will hold for our Conte Lions.
