Extracurricular activities are a cornerstone of a well-rounded education, playing a vital role in student success and overall satisfaction. While academic excellence is crucial, involvement in activities outside the classroom helps students develop essential life skills like teamwork, leadership, time management, and problem-solving. These experiences provide a practical application for classroom learning, build confidence, and offer a valuable opportunity for students to explore their passions. By actively participating in the school community, students are not only enriching their own lives but are also taking a crucial step toward fully achieving the East Haven Public School Vision of the Graduate.

Our school offers a wide range of extracurricular opportunities designed to appeal to diverse student interests, ensuring there's something for everyone. Whether you're interested in the fast-paced action of sports, the leadership challenges of student government, the supportive role of peer mentoring, or the rewarding work of community service, you'll find a place to thrive. We strongly encourage all students and families to explore these options and get involved. Participation in these activities is an investment in your future and an excellent way to make lasting memories and friendships.

At Ferrara School, students have a world of opportunities to explore their passions and make their mark. Aspiring leaders can take on responsibility by joining the 5th-grade student council, helping to shape school life and represent their peers. For those with a flair for the dramatic, the annual school-wide talent show provides the perfect stage to showcase their unique gifts, whether it be singing, dancing, or a spectacular magic trick. The school year is also sprinkled with friendly competition through various contests, from the whimsical Pumpkin Decorating and hilarious Ugly Sweater contests to the creative 3rd-grade Snowman contest. Students can also let their individuality shine during our uniquely themed school spirit days. And for the budding journalists and storytellers, there's the chance to contribute their voices to our school newsletter, The Soaring Times, capturing the vibrant energy of our school community one article at a time.
