Danny Sings About Everything!

Danny Sings About Everything!

Join us in the Kent Memorial Library’s Junior Room for this special performance by Danny Tieger at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 17. Since 2012, Danny has been performing in preschools across the country. His 35-minute music show is half improvised, half dance-along-songs, and one hundred percent silliness. Danny is an author, songwriter, teacher, and dad, though rarely in that order. Children of all ages are welcome to participate. Registration is appreciated. Please call or email kmljuniorroom@biblio.org to register, or register online.

Every year, Housatonic Valley Regional High School welcomes foreign exchange students to attend classes through the AFS Intercultural Programs. This school year, two students traveled to Northwest Connecticut to immerse themselves in American life and culture. Allegra Ferri, a 17-year-old from Italy, and 16-year-old Charlie Castellanos from Colombia sat down to reflect on their experience at HVRHS. As the academic year is coming to an end, they shared a few highlights of their time in the U.S. and offered advice to prospective exchange students.

What has been your favorite part of your exchange experience?

Allegra: “My favorite part of this exchange year was coming here and experiencing an American high school.”
