The Connetquot Foundation for the Advancement of Children recently hosted its first CFAC Showcase in the atrium of Bosti Elementary School, inviting district staff, personnel and administration to learn more about the grants that have been provided through the district in an effort to further students’ educational and extracurricular experiences.

Throughout the course of the afternoon, presentations were set up around the perimeter of the room and attendees were encouraged to interact with each grant recipient’s representative to learn more about their individual effort.

Several grants could be viewed throughout the room including the Recycling Rangers project which was brought to Duffield Elementary School in an effort to get students thinking in an eco-friendly fashion; Stand Up Desks at Slocum Elementary School to promote healthy activity in the classroom; and an elementary-level foreign language night to introduce young students to the many opportunities and languages the world has to offer.
