ACES Students Have "The Write Stuff"

For the 14th year in a row, Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES), the educational service center that serves south central Connecticut, brought “The Write Stuff” to children from 1st – 4th grade students, and showed that “Math Does Count” for 5th – 8th grade students in schools participating in ACES Open Choice program.   
There is a North Haven ACES School at 60 United Drive.

Two hundred campers enrolled in the ACES Math Does Count and The Write Stuff Summer Camp programs. Campers hailed from Ansonia, Bethany, Branford, Cheshire, East Haven, Hamden, Meriden, Milford, New Haven, North Branford, North Haven, Orange, Wallingford, West Haven and Woodbridge.

Funded by the Connecticut State Department of Education and Interdistrict grants, these programs were provided at no cost to participating families.

The Write Stuff and Math Does Count ran from July 22 to August 2 and were held at the ACES Thomas Edison Interdistrict Magnet School in Meriden.  

“At The Write Stuff, children learned to use a range of creative strategies to craft cohesive passages and paint pictures with words.  At Math Does Count, campers learned math concepts and problem-solving skills to help them have fun with math and meet several Common Core Curriculum standards for their grade levels,” explained Carolyn McNally, director, program development, ACES.  

ACES is the Regional Educational Service Center for the 25 school districts in South Central, Connecticut.
