EL Family Night
On November 6, Mansfield Public Schools, in partnership with the Mansfield Public Library, hosted an English Learner (EL) Family Night at the public library. MPS EL Teachers Sofia Constantino, Sue England, Elsbeth Finucane-Albert, Mark Krikorkian, and Nicole Lynch talked to families about programs and resources offered in the schools, including translation and interpretation services. This was also an opportunity for families to meet their children’s EL teachers.
Representatives from the library offered a tour of the facility and helped attendees apply for a library card.
The district has been holding this event for several years, and this is the 2nd year we have partnered with the Mansfield Public Library. The night was attended by over 25 families from Haiti, India, Pakistan, Syria, China, Algeria, Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, Egypt, El Salvador, and more.
“Events like this reinforce the district's vision and mission of building relationships and connections between families and educators and the Mansfield community,” stated Michael Connolly, Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning.
Thank you to Ms. Constantino, Ms. England, Ms. Finucane-Albert, Mr. Krikorian, Ms. Lynch, and QMS Assistant Principal Jim Schliefke for their support and attendance at this community event.
A heartfelt thank you to Robinson Elementary School 1st-grade teacher Mrs. Sullivan, and her students, for making beautiful Veterans Day cards which were sent to the Veterans Home at Chelsea, formerly the Soldiers’ Home at Chelsea. This is the 5th-year Mrs. Sullivan has organized this school-wide event. Established in 1882, the Veterans Home at Chelsea, formerly the Soldiers' Home at Chelsea, offers residential and long-term care programs to eligible Massachusetts veterans. Thank you to all of our students and teachers who supported this activity!
