📚 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!

📚 Kindergarten Kickoff – Day One: Literacy Day! ✨ Our first day of Kindergarten Kickoff was a huge success as we focused on all things literacy with our future scholars of tomorrow! We started the morning with some energizing stretches led by Mrs. Wood, followed by a fun yoga session and an engaging alphabet review. Our guest helper, Valerie Venturini, brought the alphabet to life through object association activities that had everyone participating and laughing! Before our snack time, we welcomed a special guest from the Gloversville Public Library Sonny — who led an animated and interactive story time featuring “Waiting Is Not Easy” by Mo Willems. His enthusiasm had the whole group joining in and enjoying every moment! To close out the day, each future scholar received a backpack filled with school supplies, a water bottle, and reading materials to help them feel confident and ready for September. A huge thank you to Mrs. Wood for leading an incredible first day, and special thanks to Valerie Venturini and Sonny for helping make it such a memorable experience. And of course, thank you to the Gloversville Public Library for your support in bringing this program to life! We can’t wait to see everyone and welcome even more new faces-at next week’s class on Tuesday, July 15th at the Dubois Garden Apartments Community Space, 181 West Street in Gloversville, once again from 10:00–11:00 AM! #KindergartenKickoff #GESDSummer
