MERIDEN — In a report released this week, a New Haven nonprofit group finds that enrollment at magnet, technical, and charter schools across the state doesn’t reflect the population diversity of the cities and towns where they’re located. Locally, however, Edison Middle School, an inter-district Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES) magnet school, and H.C. Wilcox Technical High School, are more closely aligned to city demographics than other choice schools throughout the state.

The Connecticut Tigers Winter Guard is a team of special needs performers from towns throughout Connecticut who have a passion for the activity and a love of performance.  The group is funded by ACES along with donations from companies that supply band and winter guard teams, McCormick’s and Algy.

Every Monday evening, from early January through the end of the Guard season, thirty-four people gather to share their skills, their enthusiasm, and their dreams.This show is a culmination of these evenings, where “disabilities” are transformed into “abilities”.
