District Administrator's Message
In past weeks, there has been a lot of conversation about what makes a school district successful. The definition is likely unique to each respondent, but the foundation of any success relies on students, families, employees of the district, the Board of Education, and community members working together toward a common mission. It is important to celebrate efforts that have, and continue to be made in an effort to ensure Success for All Students.

We continue to work to spread the word about the great things that are happening every day. Please 'like' our district's Facebook page, subscribe to our eNewsletter, and watch for the publication of the Bulldog Bulletin. Community members are always welcome at Board meetings which take place on the second Monday of each month. If needed, Special Board meetings are held on the fourth Monday of the month. These meetings typically take place at the District Office, but sessions are also held at other sites throughout the year, so please check agenda postings which can be found on our district's website, in our schools, and at the Public Library. Meeting topics include, but aren't limited to, budget, curriculum, technology, policy, facilities, maintenance, staffing, and legislative updates.
Achieving the mission of the School District of New London is a responsibility that we all share. Although we will always address challenges head-on and recognize the need to continually improve, it is equally important to celebrate successes...there are so many. We couldn't do what we do without you. Go Bulldogs!
Sincerely,
Kathleen Gwidt, Ph.D.
District Administrator

Help Create a World Without Type 1 Diabetes
High School Student Makes Tremendous Impact
|
Over 470 people attended the 13th Annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Celebrity Gala which raised over $460,000 for diabetes research, and New London High School student, Spencer Faulkes, helped to make this remarkable occasion the success that it was.
Spencer was asked to speak at this esteemed event where he shared his commitment to fight for a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. He was the first student ever asked to participate at this level in the Gala. Spencer provided awareness through his story of diagnosis and dedication to seek a cure.

Encouraging Participation
Band and Chorus
|
|
Fifth grade students traveled to each of the elementary schools to encourage participation in band and chorus. This group gave a mini concert, demonstrated a variety of instruments, and shared the benefits of participating in this program.
This was a great opportunity for fourth grade students to learn from their peers. We look forward to seeing many of these youngsters in future performances.

Destination: New York
High School Music Students Travel to NYC

Seventy-four NLHS students recently returned from New York City with memories they will never forget. The trip included Broadway musicals, a backstage tour of Radio City Music Hall, a river cruise, and stops at Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and much more. Check out photos on the School District of New London Facebook page. Some students shared they would welcome the adventure of living in New York, but most admitted, 'there's no place like home'.
Watch for updates of the eighth and ninth grade trip to Washington DC which will take place this week.
