A little less “Where do I start?” A little more “Who can I talk to?” 💼

Students from Mrs. Edie’s CNA class and Dr. Nancy’s class visited a job fair at the American Job Center in Montville.

They practiced talking with potential employers, learned how to navigate a job fair, and picked up resources for finding current job openings. They also explored the American Job Center’s services and how to access support beyond the event.

The connections don’t stop at the door: Mrs. Edie is there on Friday mornings to support our students as they take their next steps.

Real conversations. Useful resources. Practice they can put to work.

No spare coat? You can still bring the warmth. 🧥

Along with collecting coats, NRAE has a One Warm Coat donation page where you can make a financial contribution to help provide warmth for people who need it. And today, your dollars can do double duty!

For National Share the Warmth Day, One Warm Coat’s Board of Directors is matching financial donations made through coat drive pages, up to $30,000 across the campaign. According to One Warm Coat, every $1 donated during the match helps warm TWO people.

Give here:
https://onewarmcoat.rallybound.org/communitydrives/NorwichRegionalAdultEdu

Financial donations continue into November, but the match ends today, October 20. There’s still time to give—and sharing this post helps spread the word! 💛

Civics, straight from City Hall. 🏛️
Mayor Singh brought the zing—and plenty to talk about.

During his visit to NRAE, Mayor Swarnjit Singh shared the work underway across the city, discussing projects and initiatives highlighted in his nine-month report from the Mayor’s Office. He brought a firsthand look at the changes he’s driving forward, his enthusiasm for Norwich’s future, and what that progress could mean for the people who call it home.

For our ESOL civics students, that future is personal. Norwich is where they live, work, raise families, and build their next chapter. Connecting with the mayor brings local government within reach—and helps students connect what they’re learning with how they can participate.

That’s a big part of our work at NRAE: helping students build the English skills and civic knowledge to pursue citizenship, participate in their community, and have a voice in its future. Visits like this connect that learning with the people leading the work.

And that connection goes both ways. Our students got a closer look at the possibilities ahead for Norwich, while their curiosity and enthusiasm for civic engagement gave the mayor another reason to feel hopeful about its future.

Thank you, Mayor Singh, for sharing the progress, the possibilities, and the energy behind your work for Norwich!

A little stuffing. A lot of school spirit. A good cause. 🍂

Our ESOL students put their creativity to work decorating scarecrows for the Leffingwell House Museum’s October Scarecrow Garden—a fundraiser that helps cover the historic house’s winter heating costs.

Leffingwell has welcomed NRAE students for tours year after year. This project gave our students a chance to give something back to a place that helps bring Norwich history to life.

Teacher Julie Feindt-Cagle, who regularly connects her civics students with local history and community guests, helped bring the project together, with classes contributing decorative patches.

Learning about your community. Taking part in it. Helping preserve it. That’s civics with a little extra personality!

Saturday closet check: if you’re not wearing it, let’s put it to work! 🧥

That winter coat hanging in the back could be just what someone in our NRAE community needs. We’re especially looking for adult-size winter coats and heavy jackets—new or gently used, clean and in excellent condition.

Set it aside this weekend and bring it to the NRAE Main Office or Jessica Deary’s School Social Worker Office during the week.

We’re collecting through November 16. Check the closet. Pass on a coat. Share this post!
