Students will continue to receive a free + healthy snack, work on homework/academics with support from a certified teacher, and will participate in enrichment opportunities.

We will continue to charge monthly program fees of $20/ month for the first student; $15/ month for the second student, and no charge for additional students.

Thrive Spotlight: O’Connell School

 

O’Connell Students “GEAR UP” For Fire Safety Month: The East Hartford Fire Department visited the Thrive Programs at O'Connell School to teach students about fire safety. Students learned about when to call 9-1-1, how to "STOP, DROP & ROLL" and even got to try on some gear.

O'Connell East Site Coordinator, Ms. Harris, planned this interactive event with the EHFD. Ms. Harris said, "The expressions on the students' faces were priceless when they saw the fire trucks. They were very excited to get hats from the Fire Chief! When they drove off with the sirens blaring and lights flashing, the kids excitedly clapped and cheered! This was a successful surprise."
