Ballston Spa Education Foundation Presents Grant Awards

BALLSTON SPA — The Ballston Spa Education Foundation (BSEF) recently presented grant awards to educators in the Ballston Spa Central School District. The grant awards, which totaled over $8,500, included funds for ASK NAO robot software in the Wood Road Elementary School’s Special Education classrooms, rocket equipment for the High School Physics Department and chess sets for the third grade at the Milton Terrace North Elementary School. Grants were also awarded to the high school for a 3D printer in the Technology Department and graphic tablets for use in the Art and Technology classes. “On behalf of the school district and staff members who received grant awards this fall, I would like to extend our appreciation to the BSEF as they continue to provide for enrichment experiences in our district,” said Superintendent Joseph P. Dragone, Ph.D. of the Ballston Spa CSD. “The continued support of non-profit organizations like the BSEF demonstrates our progress in providing college and career readiness for all students, and we appreciate their commitment to sustaining district initiatives.” With these latest grant awards, the BSEF has funded over $313,500 in enrichment grants to the school district since its inception in 1996. The Ballston Spa Education Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with an all volunteer board made up of community members whose mission is to raise and distribute resources for educational enrichment opportunities outside the realm of the daily operational needs of the Ballston Spa Central School District.
