To close out Read Across America Week 2026, our elementary schools welcomed some special visitors over the past two days. Forest Elementary was visited by the University of New Haven Football Team 🏈 and the Dance and Cheerleading teams from Southern Connecticut State University along with their mascot Otus the Owl 🦉. Mackrille Elementary also welcomed many guests including Mayor Dorinda Borer, Judge Cirello ⚖️, Superintendent Neil Cavallaro, and several other community members. We hope everyone enjoyed celebrating the joy of reading this week. 📣📚
