Observed a 3rd grade class lesson as they read a chapter in a book about Susan B Anthony then compared her school experiences in the early 1800’s to the modern day classrooms. It was a fun and rich discussion…if you have a 3rd grader Ballston Spa CSD @gordoncreekelem ask them about it!

Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote I’ve ever heard. “To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.”

Our students in grades 3-5 learned about online safety thanks to our partnership with the Albany Ride for Missing Children. We even had special guests from WNYT NewsChannel 13 ! @GordonCreekElem #bettertogether
