Teacher Stefanie Chapdelaine shares about a visit by author Pegi Deitz Shea.

"She warmly interacted with our youngest learners, provided purposeful movement to our primary students, and made meaningful connections to research with our older ones.  We’re certain that this visit was just another way to encourage our students to love reading and writing!  The staff shared that it was a fun, interactive, and meaningful learning experience for our students."

Students at Aiken participated in the One School, One Book program where all students, families, and staff members read the same book at the same time. The school-wide book club program helped to promote literacy collaboration between the school and current families, while meeting the Common Core Reading standards throughout the K-5 curriculum. 

We just wrapped up the West Hartford's Cookin' Up Something New Take 2 fundraiser and raised more money for the upcoming grant cycle. Board members enjoyed greeting donors of $100 or more to distribute special curated gift bags that were filled with donated goodies.  We are grateful for a generous community and thank the in kind donors that contributed to the success of this fundraiser by providing items for the gift bags.
