Honored to represent Bloomfield Public Schools last week at Friday CAFÉ, a dynamic event focused on Community and Family Engagement. Alongside colleagues Anjanee Wright and Stacy Wylie-Arthur we were inspired by keynote speaker Erik Clemons CEO of ConnCORP. His story of overcoming challenges with resilience highlighted the importance of storytelling in bridging cultural gaps and fostering connections.
This event reinforced a vital insight: the engagement of fathers and family men in education is crucial. Their often-unheard stories play a key role in building community trust and enhancing student success.
CAIS students created dioramas depicting influential Black Americans. Take a look at a few of the examples above- well done!
