WELCOME TO
Balmville Elementary School

The scholars of Be A STAR and MBK at Balmville Elementary have been learning about their origins and ancestral roots. For the month of February, Be A STAR and MBK scholars, were asked to decorate the showcase window in the front of the building.

Part of the breakfast also included a kickoff of the Balmville School “Safe Bus Behavior” campaign where drivers will report unsafe behavior daily to Balmville staff, and entire buses will be rewarded each month if they exhibit the safest behavior.

Teachers Ms. Lisa Ward from Fostertown School and Ms. Linda Vinti from NFA Main Campus were recognized for their hard work, persistence and dedication to the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards process.

Scholars are scored by various criteria that includes, solving the problem, strategy toward finding the answer, a written explanation on steps taken to solve the problem, and working as a team.

Balmville's celebration of students who received 100 percent attendance for the month of November. Parents and students in grades 3-5 were treated to hot chocolate and made a holiday craft in the morning.

As the 21st Century After-School Academy winds down it's first session, scholars are proud to show family and friends their newly acquired and refined talents.
