Welcome to Our School

The Margaret A. Connolly Elementary School was built in 1955 and was named for Miss Margaret A. Connolly who served as a teacher when the school opened its doors in 1955 (then called East School) and later as principal for 21 years. Her total years of service amounted to 25 years. The school is situated on 13 acres of land, and is located on Ridge Drive.

Currently, as part of the district's "Paired Plan," Connolly School serves Grade 3-5 students and is paired with Gribbin School (Grades K-2).

The Connolly School faculty and staff are dedicated to providing excellent opportunities for your child's educational and social growth. Our school's mission statement and instructional philosophy are supportive of these goals. Please feel free to contact the current principal, Ms. Julie A. Mullan, or any member of our staff at 801-7310

Fifth Grade STREAM Projects

As distance learning for the school year comes to a close, Connolly’s fifth grade students recently completed two STREAM projects, a marble run and a paper bridge building challenge, which focused on teaching critical thinking and problem solving and showcased their hands-on creative work.

For the marble run project, students created a three-dimensional, free standing marble/ball run of at least 40 centimeters. Students used recyclables, toys, paper products and several other items they had at home to design and build their run.

The paper bridge project challenged the students to build paper bridges and discover how changing the shape and folding paper would add strength. They tested three different ways to fold the paper, placed their bridge on cups and then added pennies to see how many pennies each bridge would hold.
