Good morning Arace Families,
CAMS had a successful first field trip at The Big E! The weather was beautiful and students and staff enjoyed the entertainment, food, shopping, and games. Our kids represented Bloomfield proudly. Our climate theme for the month of September is Relationship and Community Building. Our students and staff created lasting memories that will foster stronger relationships throughout the school year and beyond. I have attached some photos of our day.
Thank you,
Ms. Serafino
