A Publication of Enfield Public Schools

Spring 2016
From the Office
of Academic
Achievement
Once again, inSights is dedicating the final edition of the
school year to highlighting
many of the special events
that have taken place
throughout
the
year.
Through their participation in
these different experiences,
our students are able to
showcase their learning,
character, and talent. Events
such as the ones displayed in
this issue allow the public to
see the extraordinary activities our students are engaged in both inside and outside of the school day. Many
of these events take a great
amount of commitment and
effort from teachers as well.
Without teacher involvement, most of these opportunities would not be afforded to students. We are proud
to exhibit the dedication of
both teachers and students
in this last edition of inSights
for the 2015—2016 school
year.
