Dec. 10: weekly update

A message from Superintendent Wiles:

Dear Guilderland CSD Families,

In the district office there’s a display of student artwork that warms my heart every time I walk by it. The artwork is not only colorful and creative but there is a wonderful story behind it. This project was started in early 2020 by third grade PBES students in Mrs. Monlea’s art class. Due to the lockdown the project was halted; however, these PBES students would not be deterred. Despite obstacles, they recently completed the project, now as fifth grade students. This splendid artwork is a perfect example of the resiliency and determination of GCSD students and staff.
