Building One Community “B1C” – The Center for Immigrant Opportunity – took advantage of a rainy day and brought their homework club students on a field trip to the Bruce Museum.

The partnership between B1C and The Bruce Museum in Greenwich has bolstered B1C’s academic enrichment program for Stamford Public Schools students K-5th grade to receive hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

The homework club reinforces classroom learning through after-school sessions with volunteer tutors, helping 137 students in 2023 complete homework and build confidence in the classroom, so this weekend outing was an extra special treat.

The students gathered at 417 Shippan Ave with raincoats and chattering teeth. Their parents waved them off as the wheels on the yellow school bus went round and round all through the town to Greenwich. The excited students disembarked to start on the special project of creating their own kaleidoscopes.
