🌦️✨ Exciting Weather Visit at Kingsborough! ✨🌦️

Our second graders had a special visit from Meteorologist Jordan Due from WTEN Channel 10 this week to celebrate their CKLA Cycles in Nature unit! Jordan taught our young scholars about different types of weather and how it forms, what it’s like to be a meteorologist both on and off TV, and even showed us how the Storm Tracker works with all its tools.

The fun didn’t stop there — we had weather dances, played weather Pictionary, and learned so much while having a blast! Thank you to Jordan and the WTEN crew for coming by and showing our scholars the ropes of being meteorologists. ☀️🌧️

🎅✨ Spreading Holiday Cheer: The Santa Project with the Class of 2026! ✨🎅

Each year, as part of this annual GHS tradition, our seniors bring the magic of the season to life. They visited all 5 of our schools — and a few other treasured community spots — to drop off brand-new books for our scholars, sing Christmas carols, and spread holiday cheer across our community!

A huge thank you to:

The Cubby Faville Memorial Fund for making it possible for our seniors to deliver books to all students Pre-K through 5

The Berkshire Fire Department for hosting lunch and Bingo

Kelly DeMaio, Jacob Perron, and Stephanie Boger for their incredible help making The Santa Project a success

Rainbow Play School, the Gloversville Police and Fire Departments, and City Hall for welcoming our holiday cheer

Everyone in the GESD community who helps make this event possible every year!

We’re so grateful for the support that allows our seniors to share joy with the community each holiday season. 🎄📚❤️

🎄 Operation Holiday Cards 🎄

Operation Holiday Cards was born from an idea by Ms. Bombard, who invited Ms. Tracy’s and Mrs. Meher’s Privilege Park Terrace groups — scholars who consistently give their best and earn special opportunities through enrichment with our Specials team — to take part in this meaningful holiday project.

These scholars created heartfelt holiday cards for residents at Wells Nursing Home, helping to brighten their days and share holiday cheer with others in our community.

A simple act of kindness that carries a powerful message — our scholars learning that giving back is one of the greatest gifts of all this season ❤️✉️

Today is "Ribbons and Bows" spirit day at Park Terrace.

🎄 Kingsborough Giving Tree 🎄

What started as a simple idea has quickly become something special at Kingsborough. After discovering a supply of handmade, knitted wool hats, Principal Martin saw an opportunity to spread warmth and kindness during these cold upstate winter days — and the Kingsborough Giving Tree was born.

Our young scholars are invited to choose a hat to help keep them warm, and the response has been incredible. Since launching on Friday, the tree has already been refilled three times, a moment that shows how even small acts can make a big difference for our scholars.

A simple gesture, a big impact — keeping our scholars warm and supported this winter ❄️🧤

Our Spanish 4 & 5 and Latin 4 & 5 scholars (University in the High School classes) were invited to a very special Taylor Swift–themed basketball game at the University at Albany’s Broadview Center on Saturday! 🏀✨
Scholars were welcomed with pizza, popcorn, and drinks, and enjoyed preferential seating in a VIP section for an unforgettable experience.
A special trip our scholars will remember long after the final buzzer. A sincere thank you to UAlbany for being an incredibly accommodating and welcoming host.
