This week’s adventures took our Yellowjackets all over the map! 🌎💙💛 From magical days at Disney World and Universal Studios to summer band practice, our students and staff have been staying busy all summer long.

We also spotted Yellowjackets at the Torrington Car Show, the Farmer’s Market at the American Museum of Tort Law, where three of our students are spending the summer as interns, and at the Annual AP Conference in Las Vegas, bringing back new ideas for the school year ahead!

We love seeing how our Yellowjacket community is making the most of summer. Thanks to everyone who shared their photos this week! ☀️🐝
