This was a great event! Not only did the kids love all of the fun lessons, the ESU students did a fantastic job! They were engaging, excited, and a welcomed presence in the building. Thanks for visiting our school! Come back anytime!
One of the first steps in connecting with a challenging student… is to LIKE them, rather than “put up” with them. It’s amazing how the attitude of the adult can affect the attitude of the kid.
Principals want teachers to be sensitive to the “WHOLE child.”
Well principals need to be sensitive to the “WHOLE teacher.”
Maslow’s theory was not just about kids; it applied to ALL humans.
Happy Friday CGE!!! Today is the first day of school for the second half of our Kindergarten students. Don't forget, it's a spirit day. Make sure to wear your CGE or Circle gear. #thrivein375#circlegreenwich
A special delivery of backpacks and supplies from Amazon made certain our students were ready for school this week.
Thank you, Amazon!

Strong relationships aren’t the only thing in a successful school.
But they do make everything else better.
Learning is far more likely when there is a sense of belonging, well-being, and personal engagement.
We work with professionals. They are professionals. They want to be trusted.
They really want to be trusted.
If you want to build culture, start with relationships. If you want to build relationships, start with trust.
Have a fantastic summer from all of us at CGE! We will miss you, but we hope you all enjoy some well deserved time off. Thank you for a successful year despite all the challenges! #Thrivein375#TogetherAtGreenwich#SummerBreak
