In addition to showcasing our students’ beautiful art, we will have the following entertainers, musicians, and artists: Alex Torres and his Latin Orchestra, Narthanalaya School of Dance, Chinese Acrobat Li Liu, The Gong Lab, and C.R.E.A.T.E Community Studios.

We are looking forward to an amazing afternoon and evening!

On May 15th, our 5th graders visited the middle school for a tour of the school. They then went to the Wood Rd. Complex and participated in our annual 5th Grade Friendship Games with all Ballston Spa 5th grade students. Students had a blast and enjoyed meeting new 5th grade friends.
