🚨 Future in the Trades! 🛠️✨
Last week, about 30 juniors and seniors from GHS had an amazing opportunity to visit Crisafulli Brothers' Albany office!
These scholars got a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep the Capital Region running—touring the office, training facility, warehouse, and busy loading dock.
After the tour, they headed to the training room, rolled up their sleeves, and dove into some hands-on activities to experience the trades in action 💪. And of course, they refueled with some delicious pizza 🍕!
A huge thank you to Crisafulli Brothers for sharing your passion and opening your doors to the next generation. You’ve truly inspired our scholars and shown them the exciting opportunities in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical careers! 👷♀️👷♂️🔧💡🔥

🌎🎉 Spanish Scholars Take on UAlbany! 🎉🌎
Mrs. Barranco’s Spanish 4 and Spanish 5 scholars (SUNY college-level courses) had an exciting opportunity to participate in Spanish Day at the University at Albany!
During the event, scholars put their Spanish language skills to the test, deepened their understanding of Hispanic culture, and even learned some lively Latin dance moves! 💃🕺 It was a fun, educational experience that brought language and culture to life outside the classroom.
¡Qué experiencia increíble! 🇪🇸🌟

📢 Celebrating Creativity and Emotion Through Art
Ms. Krause is proud to share the nearly completed diptych paintings that the scholars have been passionately working on for the past three months. This year’s prompt was to convey emotion through color, and the team chose to explore the contrast between the innocence and brightness of childhood and the depression and dissociation of adulthood.
When positioned together, the paintings create a powerful scene — an adult woman looking back on her childhood self.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported and encouraged these scholars, offering time and space for them to bring their vision to life. Their dedication and talent truly shine through these remarkable pieces! 💛🎨
