During the month of January, the scholars at Park Terrace learned about self-awareness. Congratulations to these scholars of the month who excelled at being self-aware.
Our Superintendent, Mr. David Halloran, recently spoke at Assemblyman Robert Smullen’s event in Albany, advocating for the flexibility to opt out of zero-emission bus mandates under Assembly Bill A.2005. Mr. Halloran passionately supports our rural district's needs in facing the challenges of this transition.
We stand united in seeking practical solutions for our school transportation. Thank you, Mr. Halloran, for ensuring our voices are heard!

🐄🥛 Today in kindergarten, our learning adventure took us to the farm! As part of our CKLA Knowledge unit on Farms, we talked all about cows, exploring where milk and other dairy products come from, and how farmers take care of their herds.
We even had a hands-on experience pretending to milk our own cows! It was a fun and educational way to connect with the life of a farm. The kids loved learning how their favorite dairy treats start their journey!
