A Fond Farewell to Carmen Arace Intermediate School 🖤🧡🐯

Last night, current and former staff, students, families, Board of Education members, and community members gathered to celebrate the legacy of Carmen Arace Intermediate School. Together, they shared memories, laughter, and stories from more than two decades of learning, growth, and community.

From the school’s opening in 2004 through its final year as an intermediate school, CAIS has helped shape generations of students while fostering its commitment to developing good humans and driven scholars.

As Bloomfield Public Schools prepares for the 2026–2027 school year, the memories, traditions, and Tiger pride that defined CAIS will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were part of its story.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to honor this special chapter in Bloomfield Public Schools history. Once a Tiger, always a Tiger!

Celebrating Excellence in Bloomfield Public Schools!

Today, we proudly honored the dedicated staff members who make a difference in the lives of our students every day at our annual Education Celebration. We recognized milestone years of service, retirees, Teachers of the Year, and our inaugural Paraeducators of the Year and Extraordinary Service Award recipients.

Thank you to all of our honorees for your commitment, passion, and service to the Bloomfield community. Special thanks to our JROTC Cadets, student performers, the Vo-Ag Center, and our Food Services Department for helping make this celebration so memorable. We also extend our gratitude to the Town of Bloomfield for its continued partnership and for presenting commemorative town coins to our honorees in recognition of their dedicated service to the community.

Congratulations to all who were recognized today!

Metacomet students had an amazing time participating in the Apex Fundraiser Fun Run on June 3, 2026! Apex is a high-energy, celebratory fitness event that spans two weeks. Students had a ton of fun as they challenged themselves to complete "laps" while moving to fun, upbeat music. Families and supporters helped make the event a success by pledging donations for each lap completed. The Fun Run was filled with energy, excitement, and school spirit, giving students a chance to stay active and work toward a common goal.

Thank you to our families, staff, and community members for your support of Metacomet School! 💙💛

Congratulations to our students at Bloomfield High School and Global Experience Magnet School who earned Industry-Recognized Credentials (IRCs) this year!

Pictured below is our first cohort of OSHA 10-certified students, proudly wearing graduation cords in recognition of their achievement. Earning an OSHA 10 credential demonstrates a commitment to workplace safety, career readiness, and professional growth.

Expanding access to IRCs is an important district priority as we continue to provide students with meaningful career exploration opportunities and real-world skill development. Credentials like OSHA 10 help students gain valuable, transferable skills, explore future career pathways, and distinguish themselves as they prepare for college, careers, and life beyond graduation.

We are incredibly proud of these students and all who earned industry-recognized credentials this year. Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence are helping build a strong foundation for future success. A special thank you to Mr. Mitchell for his leadership in leading this opportunity for our students!

Students in Ms. Baker's AP English Literature class brought their "Bricks and Voices" unit to life through a powerful blend of literature, art, and reflection. Each student selected a novel or play that had a meaningful impact on them during their four years of high school and transformed a literary element—such as symbolism, setting, character, figurative language, or point of view—into a unique brick design. With guidance from Art Teacher Ms. Ashborn, students created artistic representations that captured the essence of their chosen texts. To accompany their artwork, students wrote analytical papers explaining their creative choices and connecting them to key moments and themes from the literature. Students proudly shared their final projects with school staff and current sophomores in the library, showcasing the deep connections they formed with literature throughout their high school journey. The bricks will remain on display in the library, serving as a lasting celebration of student voice, creativity, and learning. A special thank you to Ms. Baker, Ms. Ashborn, and Mr. Staton for creating this meaningful interdisciplinary experience!

📚✨ Thank You, Bloomfield! ✨📚

Girls Capture Fourth Straight State Open Title
Congratulations to our Girls Track and Field Team and Coaches on their historic win on Saturday at the Connecticut State Open Championship.

Saturday’s dominant performance marks four State Open Championships in a row, something Connecticut has never seen. The girls earned 64 points, comfortably outdistancing the runner-up team. Bloomfield’s unmatched depth and performance secured another dominant year for our program as the best girls track program in the State of Connecticut.
