Educating Everyone Takes Everyone
Our continued thanks to all for working together as we close out our second full week of school. I am amazed by and grateful for how quickly students and staff returned to our routines for the year!
Our partners at Ballston Spa National Bank (BSNB), in cooperation with the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York is hosting its next drive-thru food pantry on Tuesday, September 28th, beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Through the work of many volunteers, it provides easy-to-prepare food for the weekend to students who may otherwise go without. Beginning in October, this will be the 6th year we’ll be offering the Scotties BackPack Program in collaboration with the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY.
The positions are ideal for parents of school-aged children or retired people who are looking for extra income. No prior experience is necessary
Thanks so very much to you all for working together with us to get us started on the new school year! From your patience and cooperation with arrival and dismissal to your communications with principals and teachers about various concerns, to having the trust in us and our processes to send your children to us for in-person instruction this year, we are grateful!
