Near & Far

A special thank you to Near & Far Aid for their generous support to SPEF. Near & Far Aid is an all-volunteer organization that makes a positive impact on thousands of people in Fairfield County by granting over $1 million a year to well-vetted local agencies targeting poverty and changing lives. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership!

UConn Trip

Last month, SPEF took a group of Career Connected Mentoring students on a memorable visit to the University of Connecticut’s Stamford campus. The trip provided a valuable opportunity for students to explore the campus, interact with current students, and learn about their experiences as first-year college students. Additionally, the students heard from members of La Comunidad Intelectual and Dr. Sealey-Ruiz on career paths in education. This is just one of the many ways SPEF is helping students prepare for their post-secondary futures.

 

Pi Day

We had an amazing time celebrating Pi Day at Rippowam Middle School! The students were treated to a captivating science presentation featuring bubble experiments, where they got to see science come to life. After the show, everyone enjoyed delicious pizza pies! It’s always wonderful to see how mixing learning with a bit of fun can spark curiosity and create lasting memories. It was a fantastic way to highlight the special day.
