PARADE CANCELLED
Due to tomorrow’s predicted snow storm, the Gloversville Holiday Parade has been cancelled. We will have our own little parade at Boulevard on Wednesday, December 22, 2021 at 2:05pm outside. This will be similar to the Halloween parade and families are invited to line up outside Boulevard beginning at the bike racks. We will march from the front of the school and around the back of the building by the playground. We will conclude our parade by the gymnasium entrance.

[GESD] Gloversville schools are closed again today 12/8/2021. The water main break has been fixed, however there is insufficient water pressure to several of our school buildings due to catastrophic water loss over the last 24 hours. The system needs time to recover.
[GESD] Gloversville schools will be closed today Tuesday December 7th due to a water main break in the city and the boiled water advisory.
If you did not receive an all-call & text message this morning from the Superintendent of Schools informing you that the district will be closed today due to a water main break, PLEASE update your contact information by calling your child's school.
The Board of Education Meeting will be held tonight at 6:30pm at the Gloversville Middle School Cafeteria. This meeting will be live-streamed to the district's Facebook page and then promptly uploaded to the GESD YouTube channel.
The Boulevard Elf was up to his tricks again on Friday
Sunny Ra from the Tang Museum at Skidmore College held workshops at Boulevard Elementary during each class’ art rotation. Revolving around the artist Deborah Roberts, the students analyzed the piece “Glass Castles”; the kids dissected the piece, talked about their own interpretations of the work, and theorized how and why the artist made the piece. After a group discussion, the kids watched a short interview from the artist where she explained her collage process and inspiration. Focusing on inclusion while also identifying our unique characteristics, Sunny instructed the students to create their own portrait using an array of materials. She brought metallic sharpies, magazines, specialty paper, colored tape, and more. This was a wonderful collaboration between Skidmore and Boulevard and a great opportunity for the students to delve into a contemporary artist while also touching on their social emotional health.
Last year Sunny provided over 200 art kits and projects that were given to 5th graders to promote art and creativity in our community. Continuing this mission, she provided more sketchbooks and pencils for this year’s fifth grade class. We are very grateful for Sunny and Skidmore’s ongoing generosity and inspiration!
