Hartford’s Capital Prep Magnet School Students Reaching for the Stars
August 6th, 2008 categories: Central Connecticut News & Information
We don’t hear a lot of good news from Hartford, especially from the schools. So when my husband, Assistant Principal at Capital Prep Magnet School in Hartford, sent this link to me this morning, I wanted to share it with you.
Some of Capital Prep’s sixth-graders spent yesterday at Starbase, “the Department of Defense-funded program that teaches lessons in science, technology, engineering and math near Brainard Airport.” The kids spent the day making and launching rockets, learning and having fun along the way. A Wonderful Day for Rocket Launching

This is just one of the many great things happening at Capital Prep.
While other kids are on vacation or hanging around the house, Capital Prep students, dressed in their school uniforms, work on getting the best education that will help them go to college. Even if I weren’t married to the Assistant Principal, I would be encouraged and proud of the work the kids, faculty and administration are doing.









We had a great time with the kids too!
