Here’s a peek into how Achievement First does back to school! Over these last few days, our families showed up ready to have a great time and celebrate the start of a new school year together.
From face painting, balloon animals, and a live DJ at Legacy Elementary in Queens, to bouncy houses, delicious food, and family fun at Bridgeport Elementary in Connecticut, to games, dancing, and school spirit at Amistad Elementary in New Haven, our communities came together to kick off the new school year with love and excitement.
Here’s to another fantastic school year for all of our students and staff, filled with learning, laughter, growth, and unforgettable memories!
