Drop and give us five - cheers for Mr. Jesse! 🏋🏻♂️ Mr. Jesse teachers P.E. in Milford during the year, and was our Horizons P.E. teacher this summer. Students in all grades work with Mr. Jesse, engaging in everything from races to basketball to our favorite parachute games. Another fun fact about Mr. Jesse is that everyone should follow him on YouTube - his channel Coach Cala @ JesseCala is filled with fitness tips & fun! 👏🏼👏🏿 #HorizonsAtFoote #NewHaven #NewHavenCT #ExpandingHorizons #HorizonsSTRONG #HAFTeachtoberFest #Teachers

Trick or Treat! 👻🍫 Our third annual Trunk or Treat was a fa-boo-lous good time! HAF students, families, Board, alumni, teachers, interns, volunteers - we all gathered in the Foote School parking lot for an afternoon of candy, costumes, games - and practicing our nouns & adjectives with Halloween madlibs! 📝🎃 Thank you to everyone who made this a frighteningly fun fiesta, and to our JAC for your hard work planning, setting up & more! 🍬🚙 #HorizonsAtFoote #NewHaven #NewHavenCT #ExpandingHorizons #HorizonsSTRONG #HAFTrunkorTreat

Did you know it's #NationalColorDay? 🎨 We love color at Horizons at Foote. We chart our feelings in colors on the mood meter, we represent our teams on HAF Colors Day - and we love to use color in art to express ourselves, to convey emotions, and so much more. Shout out to Ms. Jasmine for helping our students tap into their creativity! 🖼️ #HorizonsAtFoote #NewHaven #NewHavenCT #ExpandingHorizons #HorizonsSTRONG

Three cheers for Ms. Tonya, our summer 2024 3rd Grade A teacher! 👩🏾🏫 Ms. Tonya teaches 5th grade at Troup during the year. This summer, her Horizons class' final project was "Influential Women Leaders," where each student researched and presented on an inspiring woman. In addition to being our 3rd Grade A teacher, she was also one of our commencement speakers at this year's Graduation, celebrating the class she first taught six years ago. Thank you, Ms. Tonya! 🌟 #HorizonsAtFoote #NewHaven #NewHavenCT #ExpandingHorizons #HorizonsSTRONG #HAFTeachtoberFest #Teachers
