Park Terrace Elementary turned into a lab of spooky fun on Thursday evening as families gathered for GEPTA’s Spooky STEM Night! Our young scholars mixed bubbling potions, built creepy creations, and explored how science and imagination go hand in hand.
It was a night filled with laughter, learning, and hands-on discovery—thank you to our amazing PTA and all who made it such a hit!

Meet Officer Brown — One of GESD’s Dedicated School Resource Officers 👮♂️
Originally from the 518 area, Officer Brown has been serving as a police officer for nine years and has spent the last three years with the Gloversville Enlarged School District. Each day, he works to keep our schools safe, build strong relationships with scholars and staff, and lend a hand at school events — always finding ways to support our community.
He shared that one of the most rewarding parts of his job is “walking into school and seeing scholars happy and excited to see me.” The bonds and trust he’s built over time continue to make his work both meaningful and impactful.
As one of GESD’s School Resource Officers, Officer Brown plays an important role in protecting, connecting, and inspiring scholars each and every day.
Thank you, Officer Brown, for keeping our GESD Community safe!

#GESDCommunity #SuperintendentsDay
Today, our Park Terrace first grade scholars dove into the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math with hands-on activities that sparked curiosity and creativity! From building and experimenting to problem-solving together, our young learners showed just how fun discovery can be — and how all these STEM skills connect to help them think, create, and explore in new ways.
STEM Days are also happening in our Kingsborough and Boulevard libraries, where our K-5 scholars are exploring, creating, and learning through exciting, interactive projects — a great reminder that curiosity is the first step toward innovation! 💡
Way to go, GESD scholars — keep asking questions and dreaming big!
