As summer brings a refreshing change of pace, it’s the perfect time to highlight the achievements of Windsor students. One such student is Lyla Daly, who made a lasting impact during her time at Sage Park Middle School. On March 29, 2025, Lyla proudly represented Windsor Public Schools at the Connecticut State History Day regional competition held at UCONN. With support from one of her teachers Ms. Kimberly McGee, Lyla created an exhibit on "The Great Hartford Circus Fire of 1944," exploring the theme of rights and responsibilities. Her hard work earned her an Honorable Mention, allowing her to advance to the state competition on May 3, 2025.
At the state contest, Lyla competed in the Junior Individual Exhibit category alongside 19 other student projects. Lyla’s determination and enthusiasm for history remain strong, and she’s already looking forward to next year’s competition.
Lyla’s achievement and experience reflects the values of Windsor, where students are encouraged to explore important topics and engage with history in meaningful ways. Throughout her time at Sage Park, Lyla demonstrated a strong work ethic and a commitment to learning, making valuable contributions to her school community.
Congratulations, Lyla, on your hard work and accomplishments. We’re proud of what you’ve achieved and look forward to seeing all that you will accomplish in high school!
