Reflections from Katie
One thing that makes Cambridgeport a special learning environment for children is that our teachers are life long learners. It is always something that I look for in candidates who apply to teach at Cambridgeport, and also something I seek to support and expand as teachers move through their years as educators here.

LOST & FOUND
Thanks to Jenny Bermudez and JoJo Rosario, our lost and found bin has been emptied, children's clothing folded, and now everything is waiting to be claimed. The lost and found is located before the cafeteria and down the stairs. Please stop by and claim what’s yours before they’re given away. After they’re given away – “No backsies” (That means you won’t be able to get them back).
