Third Grade Move-Up Day and Family Picnic
On Friday, June 12th, Taft celebrated our departing third graders with a memorable send-off. The day began with the Third Grade Clap Out, where students walked through the halls of Taft led by Tuffy the Tiger, cheered on by their younger Taft Tigers one last time.
From there, students made the walk up to Whitin School for a preview of what's ahead before returning to Taft for a festive family picnic. Mrs. Rapoza then led students in a few songs that made for some truly special and memorable moments. Thank you, Mrs. Rapoza!
During the picnic, Mr. L recognized Nathaniel Rivera for his winning entry in the 2027 Casella Calendar Art Contest, a regional competition for third graders across the Northeast focused on themes of reducing, reusing, recycling, and caring for the earth. Congratulations, Nathaniel, and thank you to Mrs. Mannka for supporting his work!

Second Grade Country Research Presentations
On Friday, June 5th, second grade students welcomed families to Taft to share the fruits of their hard work. Each student researched a country, prepared a presentation, and then showcased what they learned to visiting family members. To close out the event, students came together to perform songs from around the world.
Great job to all of our second grade students, and thank you to the teachers who made this experience possible. We also extend a warm thank you to the families who came out to celebrate their children!
