      Fifth and sixth grade students at Nassakeag Elementary recently completed two vibrant murals that will soon be displayed throughout the school. These collaborative works of art reflect both the students’ creativity and the values celebrated within the school community.

      The fifth grade mural, inspired by artist Keith Haring, incorporates themes from Nassakeag’s C.A.R.E.S. initiative: Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self-Control. The sixth grade mural draws inspiration from 1970s New York City graffiti artists, showcasing bold colors and expressive styles.

      Both murals highlight the power of art to build community, express identity and leave a lasting impression. They will serve as a colorful reminder of the students’ hard work and artistic talent for years to come.

      Fifth grade students from Nassakeag Elementary recently wrapped up the school year with an unforgettable adventure at Long Island Adventure Park. The trip was more than just a day of outdoor fun – it was a chance for students to put their social-emotional learning (SEL) skills into practice.

      As they climbed ropes, crossed shaky bridges and zipped through the treetops, students demonstrated courage, perseverance and teamwork. Some faced their fears with calming self-talk and deep breaths, while others offered steady hands and words of encouragement to friends in need. Through every challenge, the students lifted one another up – literally and figuratively.

      The experience served as both a celebration and a send-off, marking their transition to middle school. By embracing new challenges and supporting one another, these young learners proved that strength comes not just from skill, but from a positive mindset and a caring heart.
