Alana-Rose Bookal

Alana-Rose Bookal is a 3rd-grade scholar at Classical Studies Magnet Academy in Bridgeport where Carver provides after-school support. Alana’s 3rd-grade teacher, Georganne Stewart, who also manages our after-school program there provides this description of her wonderful student.

Alana is kind, respectful, and very helpful when interacting with her peers. Alana has incredible self-discipline and is very self-aware.

Alana has an impressive understanding and depth of knowledge about the things that interest her. She is a natural-born leader and is loved by her peers.

As a high-performing student of CSMA, the extended day program has become a second source of knowledge for Alana. She is a lover of science and a strong swimmer.

Alana has enjoyed attending The Discovery Museum STEM classes on astronomy and life science. Her most favorite class is scratch coding with Happy Code Club. The class she finds the most expressive is Mad Science, a “gross science” class, where she gets to conduct at-home experiments and learn about different forms of chemical reactions.

When she grows up, Alana wants to become a veterinarian. Alana has a cat named Twinkle, who she loves dearly and is always eager to share Twinkle’s latest mischievous doings.

We are very proud of Alana and her dedication to the program. She engages with the instructors, asks questions, and is always sharing the new things she learns each day.

We can’t wait to see what else the future holds for our shining scholar.

We celebrate Earth Day today and prepare for Global Youth Service Day this weekend!

Today, as we celebrate Earth Day and prepare for this weekend’s Global Youth Service Day, we recognize the remarkable leadership of young people across the country who are giving their time, energy, and expertise to work toward a better planet.

Here is the White House proclamation on Earth Day.

EARTHDAY.ORG’s mission is to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide. Growing out of the first Earth Day in 1970, EARTHDAY.ORG is the world’s largest recruiter to the environmental movement, working with more than 75,000 partners in over 192 countries to drive positive action for our planet.

Global Youth Service Day is the largest youth service and civic action event in the world and the only one that celebrates all youth ages 5-25. On April 23-25, the call is for everyone to engage all young people and adult champions to serve, advocate, join, celebrate, or build capacity.

COVID Update: A sort of miracle is materializing in the distance.

A sort of miracle is materializing in the distance. The pandemic siege appears to be lifting, and this time a full return to schools across the nation, while perhaps months away, is almost certainly not a mirage.

Published reports from the Centers for Disease Control suggest that the vaccines are doing their slow, steady work. Gov. Ned Lamont announced today that all public health restrictions due to the pandemic will be lifted on May 19, if improvements in vaccination rates continue.

The mask mandate will remain in place until further notice, but Lamont said at the Monday news briefing that at some point it will be up to individuals and institutions to determine if wearing masks is required.

Connecticut has been hovering for weeks at about 1,000 positive tests for COVID-19 a day. The state reached the milestone of 8,000 deaths from COVID-19 over the weekend. At the same time, the number of state residents who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 increases by about 10% each week, said the state’s chief operating officer, Josh Geballe. As of Monday, 61% of adults over the age of 18 had received at least one shot, Lamont said. At the current trajectory, we’ll be at 70% by the end of the month.

The mask mandate will likely continue in the state’s elementary, middle, and high schools through the end of the school year in June, and in crowded public places, Lamont said. But students returning to state-run colleges and universities this fall probably will not face a vaccination requirement, he said.
