During library classes at Park Terrace, scholars learned a little about storytelling and the Lunar New Year from Mrs. Kathleen Bushek. We learned about dragon and lion dances and the "lucky" color red. Mrs. Bushek very kindly created a large lion for scholars to try out. Our very own Mrs. Prew gave everyone a fortune cookie to eat at home. Thank you to our Park Terrace librarian, Danielle Bombard, for inviting in this special guest.

[GESD] Good evening, this is Superintendent David Halloran. Gloversville Schools will be closed tomorrow, Thursday February 6, due to the weather event impacting our region. The timing of the impending storm and likelihood of sleet in the afternoon during dismissal are driving factors in this decision.
