Next week, the Gloversville Enlarged School District will bid a fond farewell to one of our longest-serving and most beloved team members — Leonard “Lenny” Jones. After 22 years of dedicated service as a valued member of our custodial staff, Lenny is heading into a well earned retirement.
When asked what he’ll miss most after more than two decades at GESD, Lenny didn’t hesitate — it’s the scholars and staff who brightened his days and brought countless smiles to his face.
On behalf of the entire GESD community, we extend our deepest gratitude to Lenny for his years of service, kindness, and unwavering commitment over the last two decades plus.
Wishing you joy, health, and relaxation in this next chapter — glad tidings in retirement, Lenny!

Week 3 of Kindergarten Kickoff! 🎉
Today was an absolute blast as we dove into the math portion of our Kindergarten Kickoff program! Our future scholars got the day started by moving with some fun yoga warmups to get those brains and bodies ready for learning!🧘♀️📚
Our future scholars practiced counting with Ms. Wood, worked on writing our numbers 1–10, and enjoyed a series of hands-on, interactive math activities. To wrap things up, our friend Sonny from the Gloversville Public Library joined us for a lively counting book session that had everyone engaged and excited to show off their new fine tuned skills! 🔢✨
A huge thank you once again to Ms. Courtney Wood for her energy and dedication, as well as to Sonny and the entire Gloversville Public Library team for continuing to be such fantastic community partners!
We love seeing our young learners build confidence before diving into such an important year!

📚 Gloversville Middle School once again takes the extra step with the Read for Ronald McDonald House Charities program!
Gloversville Middle School is proud to participate once again in the Read for Ronald McDonald House Charities program, a wonderful initiative that allows our scholars to make a real difference for families with seriously ill children—just by picking up a book. This charity provides comfort and a home-away-from-home for those families during challenging times.
By collecting donations through their reading efforts, our scholars helped support children and families in our community during some of their most difficult times. We are incredibly proud of everyone who participated in this meaningful initiative.
A special congratulations to Brantley Lyons, who raised the highest total in donations! We’d also like to recognize Ava Case, Anthony Malagisi, Annabelle Muck, Jacob Robbs, Braylin Wood, and every other participant for their outstanding commitment and generosity to this cause.
We’re so proud and grateful to be part of such a special community, and truly honored to have such dedicated and compassionate scholars supporting a cause as meaningful and touching as this. 💛📖🏡

📅 Day 3 of Gloversville Girls Basketball Camp!
🏀 Today’s theme was Sportsmanship — and our young athletes showed up with respect, hustle, and team-first energy from start to finish! 💯
🔥 Our coaches John Person and Mike Hallenbeck led high-intensity full-court 1-on-1 pressure drills, challenging our athletes to handle the ball under pressure while maintaining poise and respect for their teammates.
🎤 We were honored to welcome today's guest speaker Kieonna Christmas, the Division III Rookie of the Year out of Morrisonville College!
Kieonna, a star from Fonda-Fultonville, brought her incredible story and energy to camp, as well as a stacked resume. In high school, she was:
▪️ Named MVP and Female Athlete of the Year
▪️ Featured on ESPN for a legendary Quintuple Double (11 pts, 20 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals, 10 blocks) 👏
Kieonna spoke about her journey and how sportsmanship helped her grow both on and off the court. After answering camper questions, she even jumped into drills and encouraged players during our closing 3v3s and 5v5s 🙌
🚨 One more day to go — let’s finish even stronger than we started!
