Ballston Spa teachers receive money from the Ballston Spa Education Foundation for classroom enrichment projects during a recent Board of Education meeting in Ballston Spa.

The Ballston Spa Education Foundation (BSEF) recently presented $7,900 in grant money to teachers in the Ballston Spa Central School District.

This year’s grant were:
$646 to Milton Terrace Elementary School for LEGO Architecture Kits
$865 to the Ballston Spa High School (BSHS) for an Electric Vinyl Cutter for the Technology Dept.,
$5,743 to the Ballston Spa Middle School (BSMS) and BSHS for Genetics Biotechnology Lab Equipment
$349 to the BSMS and BSHS Environmental Club for tools to build and maintain trails
$366 to BSMS for a Safeco Refreshment Cart for the Gateway Program.

“On behalf of the school district, I would like to extend our appreciation to the BSEF board members as they continue to support our staff in providing great learning experiences throughout our classrooms” said Superintendent Joseph P. Dragone.

With these latest grant awards, the BSEF has, since its inception in 1996, awarded more than $347,000  to the school district. The Ballston Spa Education Foundation is a non-profit with a mission to raise and distribute resources for educational enrichment outside of the daily needs of the school district.

The BSEF will host a fundraiser, the annual Taste of Ballston Spa, on April 3, 2017, at the Ballston Spa High School. It will include a raffle and door prizes. The highlight will be a drawing for a trip for two to Europe.

More information on the foundation is available at P.O. Box 276, Ballston Spa, NY 12020, or by visiting  http://www.ballstonspaeducationfoundation.com/.
