Community

The Westport Public Schools deeply value the opportunities the greater Westport community provides our students. Opportunities abound for students to engage with and to learn about the rich fabric of our town - a community of great vibrancy and spirit, welcoming to peoples of all kinds, appreciative of its artistic and cultural heritage – and actively engaged in collective decision-making about its future.

In turn, many opportunities arise for Westporters to participate in our school community - through attendance at sporting events, drama productions, art shows, or band and orchestra concerts.

The links below will help to facilitate your access to those opportunities. We welcome and value your support and participation.

National Geographic Producer and Volcanologist Visit Sixth Graders

Mr. Bengt Anderson, a National Geographic producer and CMS parent, visited in person to speak with our sixth-grade students and connect them with his colleague, volcanologist Dr. Emma Nicholson, who joined via Zoom from New Zealand. Dr. Nicholson, featured in Lake of Fire, shared her experience exploring a remote, uncharted volcano. Students had previously viewed the documentary, which follows a team’s expedition to uncover when and why volcanoes erupt. During the visit, students asked thoughtful questions about lava lakes, how Dr. Nicholson travels to volcanoes, and how ideas for National Geographic films are developed, among other topics. This engaging experience brought the sixth-grade science curriculum to life in a truly memorable way.
