The Program
ALPs is a program for all 5th grade students in Newington Public Schools. It helps students learn about important topics they may face as they grow up. The program focuses on building self-confidence, making good choices, solving problems, working as a team, and understanding peer pressure.
ALPs is part of the 5th grade Health class at both middle schools and is led by staff from Human Services. Students take part in activities both in the classroom and outside, including a special “Final Challenge” day on the ropes course.
