From portfolio strategy to boardroom pitches, our Investment Club stepped into high finance during an incredible field trip to Merrill Lynch!
With guidance from Miss Gina, students took a deep dive into their Schwab portfolio and learned an important lesson: diversification matters. After identifying gaps in sectors like industrials, materials, utilities, energy, and real estate, students researched emerging companies, presented their findings, and defended their picks in a real boardroom setting.
Students selected six standout stocks they plan to invest in by year’s end and presented them at Merrill Lynch to Miss Gina and Mr. Tom.
A special thank you to Maya’s mom, Miss Makeba from for joining us for this exciting experience!
This is only the beginning… stay tuned! 📈

Beloved Community Night finally made its way back to us after a season of snow delays!
The evening began with our 6th graders’ powerful recital of Martin Luther King Jr.’s I Have a Dream, bringing the entire school together to close with its final verses. From there, the stage came alive with performances across every grade!
Students performed to songs like Can’t Stop the Feeling, Dynamite, and Can’t Stop Us Now, while Grades 4–6 sang in English, Spanish, Swahili, and Sign Language. We were excited to have Chris Love share the Eastern War Dance of the Narragansett tribe, and to see Mr. Figz and special guests showcase the art of breaking. The CP Dance Club also brought incredible energy with their own take on the !
This is what Beloved Community looks like! ❤️✨
