🌎🌿 Huge shoutout to the Key Club! 🌿🌎 Key Club had their annual Clean-Up and Landscaping Day at the Gloversville Public Library — and this year, it was even more special because it fell on Earth Day! 💚 Not only did they beautify the library grounds, but they also went the extra mile and cleaned up the basketball court and park just a few blocks away. 🏀🏞️ Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make our community a little brighter and greener today! 🌻👏 #KeyClub #EarthDay #CommunityPride #Gloversville

📚✨ What’s That on the Sidewalk?! ✨📚 It’s Mrs. Codding's Annual Sidewalk Poetry Day — and it was nothing short of incredible! 🗓 When: Wednesday, 4/23/25 👥 Who: Our ELA 9 and ELA 10 scholars ✍️ What: A celebration of poetic voices, creativity, and self-expression Grade 9 scholars crafted Diamante Poetry — beautiful diamond-shaped poems that don’t rhyme but shine with powerful imagery and contrasting subjects. Grade 10 scholars created Where I’m From Poetry — deeply personal pieces rooted in memory, setting, and everyday details that shape identity. 📝 The process? Discussion ➡️ Drafting ➡️ Revising ➡️ Editing ➡️ Peer Feedback ➡️ Final Approval ➡️ Sidewalk Showcase! They used tools like thesaurus.com to elevate their language and collaborated thoughtfully with peers to refine their pieces. 🌟 Sidewalk Poetry Day continues to be a GHS tradition that brings words to life — literally. Seeing our scholars’ creativity on full display is a reminder of the talent, effort, and heart that lives within our classrooms. Huge shoutout to Mrs. Codding for leading this inspiring experience and to all of our scholars who showed up with their best: determination, respect, creativity, and thoughtfulness. 💫 👏 Way to go, GHS! Let the words lead the way. #SidewalkPoetryDay #GHSscholars #CreativityInAction #ELAExcellence

🌟 Scholar Spotlight: EthanJames Husted 🌟 We’re celebrating a standout scholar who truly embodies creativity, commitment, and character! EthanJames stepped out of his comfort zone to join the OVA Graphic Arts Team—and we’re so glad he did! He tried his hand at 3D modeling and took the lead on designing the main product logos, showing not just talent but also the courage to try something new. His efforts helped our team win the coveted NYSATA OVA Overall Hyndman Creativity Award for Graphic Design! He’s also a vital force in the Yearbook Club, always ready to pitch in wherever he’s needed—from layout design to snapping photos at school events as part of the GMS Paparazzi team 📸. You’ll see his art on the yearbook cover and on many of the amazing posters displayed throughout the school! What makes EthanJames shine even more is his character. He shows up with kindness, a respectful attitude, and a hardworking spirit. Whether it’s graphic design, photography, or lending a helping hand, he gives it 100% every time. Thanks for all you do, Ethan James! Your creativity and dedication make a real difference!

🚨 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.
