BLVD Elementary PTA Hosts Heartwarming Community Event! 🐻🎉
This past Saturday, the PTA at BLVD Elementary hosted "Animaland," a magical event that brought together hundreds of families for an unforgettable afternoon of creativity and fun! From 1 - 3 PM, scholars had the chance to build their own stuffed animals and then visit interactive stations, including a Vet Shop, Clothing Station, Grooming Station, and more, where they learned how to care for their new furry friends.
Originally planned as a fundraiser, the PTA made the heartfelt decision to cut costs and turn it into a fully inclusive community event. The result? An incredible day filled with laughter, learning, and lasting memories! 💙
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this event possible—volunteers, organizers, and all the families who attended. This is what community is all about! 💕🐾

Stuff and take care of your own 16" collectible animal! Choose from a variety of animals.

On Wednesday, March 5th, Boulevard's Writing and Illustration club had their live reading at the Gloversville Public Library. Each scholar wrote and illustrated a story inspired by an animal currently in need of a home from the FCRSPCA humane society. This event helped kick off our districtwide drive for the FCRSPCA and also previewed the "Pawtraits" art show which will be happening on March 11th at GMS.
