CREC School Participates in First Dragon Boat Race


(Hartford, CT) With the help of CREC staff, parents, and friends, Glastonbury-East Hartford Magnet School participated in its first dragon boat competition at the Riverfront Dragon Boat & Asian Festival in Hartford on August 15 and 16.


Although the 21-member team did not win, the team’s finishing times got better in each of the competition’s three races, and it placed second in its division.


“We rocked it,” said Arati Nair, a Glastonbury-East Hartford Magnet School parent.


The competition served as a promotional activity for the school’s Green Leaf Committee, which works to improve the health and wellness of students and staff in an environmentally conscious way. The race also helped to create a cohesive work environment among parents and school staff.


“I had a great time with everyone!” said Terry Wilson, CREC’s elementary school science coordinator. “Well done, Glastonbury-East Hartford Magnet School!”


The Riverfront Dragon Boat & Asian Festival, an annual event, was held at the Mortensen Riverfront Plaza in Hartford. It is a free event that celebrates Asian culture and highlights the sport of dragon boat racing.
