‘A special place to be’ Somers Elementary named School of the Year SOMERS — The Connecticut Association of Schools has selected the Somers Elementary School as the 2025 School of the Year. The School of the Year award process begins with an application review by a committee of current administrators. Two finalists are then selected for on-site visits, which include classroom observations and interviews with parents, students, staff, and administrators. Winners are chosen based upon the outcome of the site visit as well as the strength of the written application.
