Middleschool 51

We made it! 🎉
Our 7th grade students had a small bump in the road—a flat tire—but thanks to the calm, quick action of our amazing chaperones, everyone arrived safely in Mystic and with smiles intact! 😊
Now they’re settled in and enjoying dinner as the adventure begins. A special thank you to our wonderful chaperones for keeping spirits high and the trip moving smoothly. We appreciate all you do! 💙

In case you missed it, here are some highlights from our Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band performances! Congratulations to our talented MS51 musicians and Director Mr. Gozzo on a fantastic season. What a great way to end the performance year—thank you to everyone who supported our students and celebrated their hard work and dedication. 🎶🎷🎺👏

🎶 Bravo to Mr. Gozzo and our incredible instrumental music students on a spectacular end-of-year showcase! Their hard work, dedication, and growth throughout the year shined through in every performance. Under Mr. Gozzo’s leadership, the students delivered a truly memorable concert and a fitting finale to MS 51’s performance season.

MS51 proves that collaboration works! 👏 Students in Ms. Arax’s classes created surveys and shared them with teachers to gather data for their mock trials. Using the results, they developed evidence exhibits and built strong arguments to support their claims. The experience culminated with a trip to court, where students presented their findings before a real judge! ⚖️ What an amazing opportunity to showcase their hard work, research, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.
