I am incredibly proud to congratulate Great Oak Elementary School on being named one of only six 2026 Connecticut Blue Ribbon Schools.

This prestigious honor reflects the dedication and hard work of our students, teachers, staff, Board of Education, and families. A special thank you to Principal Aimee Misset, Superintendent Dr. Ralph Marino and the entire Great Oak team for their outstanding leadership and commitment to excellence.

As First Selectman, I was honored to attend the ceremony celebrating this achievement. To have Great Oak recognized among just six schools statewide is a tremendous accomplishment and a source of pride for our entire Oxford community.

Congratulations, Great Oak—we are so proud of you!

Arnie and I had a great time at BHcare’s Chance to Shine event at Quarry Walk today! The band was fantastic, and the bicycle parade with Joe Furey from Channel 8 was a lot of fun.

Thank you to BHcare, The Haynes Group, and everyone who helped make this great community event possible!
