🏆 PTA REPOST*🏆
To celebrate National PTA Founders Day, our board spent the day touring around Gloversville Enlarged School District celebrating those members of our school community that make an impact on the lives of children every day and have gone above and beyond to give their time to helping the PTA this year. This year's recipients were as follows:
🎖 National PTA Life Achievement Award: The highest honor that can be given by the nation's largest child advocacy organization. Units like ours can nominate and award this honor to a person who daily lives out his or her commitment to children; their education, health, and well-being. Our financial contribution for this award has gone to the National PTA Endowment Fund, ensuring longevity of the association. This year, we have chosen Mary-Jo Lomanto
🎖 NYS PTA Honorary Life Member Award: This award recognizes individuals for their contribution to the welfare of children and youth. Our financial contributions for this award have been split evenly between the NYS PTA Teacher Fellowship For Graduate Study Fund and NYS PTA Scholarship Fund For Teacher Education. This year, we have chosen Lashawn Hawkins
🎖 NYS PTA Community Service Award: This award is given to a group of individuals in thankful recognition and gratitude for what they have achieved, giving their time, energy, and resources, on behalf of the children and youth in their school, community and/or state. This year, we have chosen Jen Hazzard and The GHS Key Club
🎖 Gloversville Elementary PTA Super Star Award: This award recognizes an individual who has gone above and beyond this year to volunteer their time. This year, we have chosen Lisa Gutta
🎖 Gloversville Elementary PTA Spirit of PTA Award: This award recognizes an individual who embodies the spirit of PTA; lending a helping hand enthusiastically and without hesitation. This year, we have chosen Jennifer Frasier
🎖 And we honored one of our own, Amanda Teetz, who has been involved in PTA for many years and has spent countless hours making magic happen all around the district in her various roles within PTA and serving on committees throughout the school.

📚🔍 Unlocking Knowledge in the Library! 🔍📚
Mrs. Codding’s ELA 9 and ELA 10 scholars had an exciting day in the school library, diving into a Breakout EDU activity! 🎉 The scholars worked together to read clues, think critically, and solve puzzles—all in an effort to "break out" by unlocking the boxes. 🏆
🔹 ELA 9 scholars put their knowledge of John Steinbeck’s classic Of Mice and Men to the test.
🔹 ELA 10 scholars investigated key themes from George Orwell’s thought-provoking Animal Farm.
These dedicated scholars wrapped up their readings of these iconic works this week, and today’s activity was a fantastic way to bring literature to life! Mrs. Codding is so proud of their hard work, collaboration, and enthusiasm.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Bengle-Mackey for organizing this engaging and interactive learning experience! 📖✨

📚✨ Hard at Work in ELA 10! ✨📚
Check out this amazing group of scholars in my ELA 10 class! They are deeply engaged in close reading of Animal Farm by George Orwell, following along with the audiobook while taking detailed notes. 📝🎧
