Wintonbury students used their large muscles to pack and transport food donations to the bus circle. The bus stopped at all Bloomfield schools today to get "stuffed" with food for the Bloomfield Food Bank.
Students from across the district supported the Bloomfield Food Bank located at Leisure Services as part of the 3rd Annual Stuff the Bus Food Drive. Students from Carmen Arace Intermediate School, Carmen Arace Middle School, and Bloomfield High School helped to unload the bus.
Despite the delayed opening this morning, students in Room 204 had plenty of time to push and pull their friends in the snow.
Due to weather conditions, Bloomfield Public Schools will follow a 2 hour delay today, Monday, December 16, 2024.
We will continue to monitor the weather conditions and update you as needed.

Good evening,
We have been made aware of racist and derogatory text messages that have been sent to Bloomfield students and community members. It is our understanding that individuals across the country have received these hateful messages, and the Town of Bloomfield and the Bloomfield Board of Education stand united in condemning any and all forms of racism, prejudice, or hate within our community. We are deeply disturbed by the recent remarks involving this racially offensive language, which violates the core values of respect, inclusion, and equality that we hold as a town and school district.
Racist language, behavior, and rhetoric have no place in Bloomfield, and we are committed to ensuring that every member of our community feels safe, valued, and respected.
In conjunction with the Bloomfield Police Department, we are actively responding to these incidents and will work with local, state, and federal authorities to assist in their investigation.
The whole school community participated in a PINK OUT today to raise awareness and money for breast cancer.
