North Colonie Central School District is taking part in a "Month of Service" in May. We'll kick it off with the "Blue Creek Day of Service" on Saturday, May 3 from 9am-12pm. We'll be cleaning the garden and installing a new pollinator bed as part of the activities. Come spend your morning with us on May 3! #monthofservice

Did you know a snail has more than 10,000 teeth? Blue Creek first graders learned that on Friday as part of a dental hygiene lesson. The Bulldogs got a visit from Ms. Lisa Upton from Albany Braces & Dental and she showed them the proper way to brush and floss their teeth. Students practiced brushing technique on stuffed animals and a few students even stood in as "teeth" while Ms. Upton and Elementary Health Education Teacher Jennifer Moran demonstrated flossing. They rounded out the lesson with some very interesting trivia about teeth!

Members of our grounds team were hard at work on Friday, beginning the construction and installation of new garden beds at Blue Creek! The beds, which will be wheelchair accessible, are the creative design of Alex, one of our tremendous groundspeople. If weather cooperates, our team should have the beds completed by the end of next week and ready for planting!
