Our Back-to-School Night was a massive success! It was wonderful to see so many of our students and families filling the playground. The evening was packed with fun, from playground games and face painting to an exciting hula hoop contest. A huge thank you to our community partners and the Albany Fire Department for stopping by to make the night so memorable.

A special shout out to our PTA for hosting the "Pie in the Face" fundraiser! Congratulations to our raffle winners, and a huge thank you to Principal Ms. Buff, Coach Davis, and Mr. Burrell for being such great sports and taking a pie to the face for our school!

We are so proud of our amazing New Scotland fifth graders! Today, we got to celebrate all of their hard work and accomplishments with their loved ones. To wrap up the day, the entire school lined up outside to cheer them on for their official fifth-grade walkout. Congratulations, everyone!

From brilliant research to creative experiments, our New Scotland students truly shined at this year's Science Expo! Families and students had a blast checking out the projects, enjoying some ice cream, and shopping at the Scholastic Book Fair.

Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a sweet success!
