New Canaan Chamber Music Concert on Main Street

The halls of Waveny were filled with the most delightful sound of music! Many thanks to New Canaan Chamber Music, Andrew Armstrong and his guest flutist Demarre McGill for performing a special concert on Main Street to the delight of our residents and families.

Mr. McGill has performed as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Seattle, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Grant Park, San Diego and Baltimore symphony orchestras and, at age 15, the Chicago Symphony.

Praised by critics for his passionate expression and dazzling technique, pianist Mr. Armstrong has delighted audiences across Asia, Europe, Latin America, Canada, and the United States. We were overjoyed to welcome both performers right here at home.
UBS Brings Gingerbread Houses and Holiday Cheer
Cheers to UBS and all the volunteers who came to bring the holiday spirit, company and fun to our residents with an afternoon of gingerbread house building on Main Street. We are grateful for the generous gift of supplies that enabled our residents throughout the continuum to participate in the sights, smells and creativity of this lovely holiday tradition.
Congratulations to the Wilton Public Schools for their #1 ranking by the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE)!

The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) released the results from its 2021-2022 Next Generation Accountability System, a system that awards points on a broad set of 12 indicators the state says help tell the story of how well a school prepares its students for success in college, careers, and life.

Wilton was the highest-scoring district in the state, with a total score index of 89.9, up from 85.0 in 2018-2019 when the index was last published. We are so proud of the Visiting Nurse & Hospice nurses who staff all four of Wilton's public schools as well as the administrators, staff, teachers and who all contribute to making Wilton the top district in Connecticut!
