Students in BPMS’ Marine Biology class concluded their course with a trip to see the creatures at the VIA Aquarium in Schenectady. It capped off the ten-week course that introduces students to the oceans and marine life within them.

BPMS science teacher Kelly DiNatalie oversees the course, but says that students are the ones really driving the class. They create encyclopedia slide shows to teach their peers about marine life, and present to the class. Normally, the course concludes with a science symposium for parents and students at the end of the course.

“I think it’s awesome that we have this opportunity at the Middle School,” said Mrs. DiNatalie. “Getting kids into exploratory science at the middle school level, that was a niche that hadn’t been filled before. Kids are really intrigued by getting a choice of what they study in middle school.”

Mrs. DiNatalie says the Marine Biology class gets students out of their comfort zone with class presentations and having students drive their own learning. Even if students are shy at first, Mrs. DiNatalie says that they eventually look forward to presenting and their peers commenting and asking questions. “They’re intrigued and interested, they’re extending their own learning,” said Mrs. DiNatalie. “They’re making connections to things going on in the world right now.”

The trip to the VIA Aquarium at the end of the unit gives students a chance to experience what they’ve been learning about hands-on. They get to interact with the animals there and see things that the general public doesn’t. “It’s an eye opening experience, going to the aquarium,” said Mrs. DiNatalie. “When the kids go to the aquarium armed with knowledge, they have a different appreciation of the creatures and what they have learned. And I think they are more appreciative.”

The Broadalbin-Perth Middle School Future City team went up against middle schools from around the Capital Region this weekend and took home a slew of awards, including second place overall.

Students created a Star Wars-themed presentation of a city with a tainted water supply, and how to fix it. The team wrote an essay, built a 3D model of their city, and presented before a panel of judges. In addition to winning second place overall, the BPMS team won for Best Use of Construction Materials, Best Complete Streets Design, and Best City to Live In. The model will now be taken on the road as students will be presenting their model at Engineer Week in February and presenting at State Education Department in the Spring.

You can watch their presentation, and video from the day, below.

This is the 19th year for the Capital Region Future City competition. It was held at the Armory at The Sage Colleges of Albany.

With the whoosh of ski blades carving a downhill path at West Mountain Ski Resort on Jan. 8, Broadalbin-Perth made good on a promise five years in the making.

By introducing its first Alpine ski team.

The eight-member varsity team, comprised of two seventh-graders and six high-schoolers, fared better than expected at the Niskayuna Invitational, according to Maggie Miller, who coaches the fledgling team with Matt O’Brien, manager of Oak Mountain Ski Center.

“For the experience level we had, and where we started, we were really impressed with how our racers did,” Miller said. “There were 233 racers, and most of our kids finished in the middle of the pack. That’s great for their first race.”

In 2015, Broadablin-Perth conducted what’s called an “interest inventory” to gauge how well it was doing in providing extracurricular activities that matched up with what students said they liked. Two activities students put at the top of their wish lists: Alpine skiing and lacrosse. Both sports opportunities were added this year.

The introduction of the team not only addresses a gap identified by the interest inventory, it also better aligns the school district with many of the goals outlined in its long-term strategic plan, including offering programs that help students identify and cultivate their innate strengths. Middle and high school students began taking an updated version of the interest inventory this week.

Sixteen students signed up for the downhill team in the fall, and the coaches divided them into modified and varsity squads. Although all had spent time on skis, only one had any racing experience. They began with off-snow training on dry land, honing their balance and agility with stair exercises and circuit workouts.

“Anything off-snow to get their muscles ready for the snow,” Miller said. “From here, we could see where they were athletically.”

For the uninitiated, Alpine is a form of downhill skiing that originated in the European Alps, as the name suggests. The B-P team competes in the slalom and the giant slalom, timed technical events that challenge the skier’s ability to maneuver over courses marked by closely spaced gates.

The initial six-member varsity team grew by two after the coaches decided to move a pair of athletes up from modified. All 16 athletes practice at Oak Mountain, but only the varsity team competes.

“They’re all good skiers,” Miller said. “The goal is to transition them from good skiers to great skiers, and get them carving all their turns in and out of the gates, make them race ready.”

The skiing tournament season runs through the second week in February, with state competition later in the month.

“You are greatly appreciated and loved by all. We thank you for all that you do for each and every student each morning. When a kid is having a hard time making it into the doors in the morning, you know just what to say to make everything all right for the child and parent. Once again, thank you!”

Kathy Kilmartin is a custodian at The Learning Community and is in her 28th year as a member of the B-P staff. After reading her nomination, Kathy said, “It’s just all about the kids, whatever makes them happy and smile. That’s what we do here, we all work together. The custodians are a great bunch of people who always put the kids first.

“And our parents are wonderful too; they always smile. It’s too quiet during the summer. I like when the kids are in school, and I like to hear their laughter.”

Parent to Katie Simonds: “Mrs. Simonds’ love for her classroom and her students is what makes my son want to go to school each day.”

Katie Simonds

Her full nomination reads, “Mrs. Simonds has the love and the patience to help with each of her student’s individual needs. She is a wonderful teacher that knows how to bring out the best in her students. Since day one of the school year, Mrs. Simonds has given my son the motivation and the confidence to overcome his fears and struggles in the classroom. She encourages him to push himself and try harder every day.

“She gives him the praise he needs to feel confident in himself and push himself to accomplish more. Mrs. Simonds’ love for her classroom and her students is what makes my son want to go to school each day.

After reading her nomination, Katie said, “The wonderful news of the Successories acknowledgement was such an incredible honor that helped remind me why I love my job so much. I found myself tearing up as I read the kind words that [a parent] wrote.

“Ever since I was a young girl, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. What I didn’t realize was how many close relationships I would form with families over the years. When a student enters my classroom in September, they immediately become one of my own. I am not only their teacher, but I am their advocate, cheerleader, and friend. These relationships stick with me and hold a very special place in my heart. Whether it be a simple smile, a big hug, or a pat on the back, I want all of my students to know that I am proud of them and appreciate all of their hard work.”

Teacher to Kayla Twardzik: “She is the best cheerleader a student could ask for!”

Although there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Broadalbin-Perth community at this time, district leaders are taking proactive measures to prepare for the spread of the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. While teachers will be spending March 16-17 planning to continue the education process during a potential school closure, members of the district’s custodial and instructional technology teams are working behind the scenes.

Cleaning and disinfecting ‘high-touch’ surfaces

Broadalbin-Perth has infectious disease protocols in place and has been taking steps, such as increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting throughout school facilities, to minimize the spread of all viruses and bacteria.

“We have purchased all the disinfecting supplies we can order, including sanitizing ionizers like the ones you may have seen being used on airplanes,” said Superintendent of Schools Stephen Tomlinson. “We are closely following the NYS Department of Health guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting classrooms, including making our own disinfecting solution based on DOH recommendations.”

While classes are canceled for students Monday and Tuesday and teachers are making alternative learning plans, all other available staff will be thoroughly cleaning the school buildings and buses, placing greater emphasis on cleaning “high-touch” surfaces, such as desks, door knobs, handrails and sink faucets.

“We are doing our very best to keep the building as clean as possible, but there’s no way we can protect against every single thing,” said Mike Carney, director of operations and safety. “But even more important than what we’re doing is individual personal hygiene. We can disinfect a surface, but if someone isn’t using proper personal hygiene, our efforts won’t be as effective. It’s so important that people cough and sneeze into their elbows or armpits, and wash their hands frequently.”

Technology staff disinfecting, making plans for remote learning

B-P’s custodians aren’t alone in their efforts to disinfect surfaces to reduce the spread of germs.

“Our standard procedure is to utilize cleaning wipes to fully sanitize our shared devices,” said Stephen Gennett, B-P’s director of informational technology. “The majority of our teachers sanitize their shared devices — including laptops, tablets — daily throughout the year, and the Clorox-based wipes we use are 99% effective in eliminating all types of viruses and bacteria.”

The IT department is also working with building leaders to identify students who do not have access to internet-enabled technology at home and they are prioritizing putting devices in those students’ hands as soon as possible. Members of the IT team are disinfecting all devices before giving them to students, and will quarantine and disinfect returned devices outside the school buildings before putting them back in general circulation.

Making sure all students have access to technology at home is a priority because the district is making plans to be able to continue the learning process in the case that schools have to be closed for more than a day. 

“It’s important that we be able to continue the learning process, even if our schools are closed, because state law requires public schools to be in session 180 days every year,” said Tomlinson said. “It’s impossible to know what’s going to happen in the future, but if we can avoid having to bring our students back for additional days of school over the summer, we’re going to do everything within our control to keep that from happening.”

B-P will be holding professional development days March 16-17 to prepare educators to teach all students, pre-K through grade 12, through technology or other means.

“We have already begun providing professional development for our teachers to make sure they can continue to lead the learning process remotely,” Gennett said. “We’re also planning to be able to provide remote services and technology support for the entire organization in the case of a school closure.”

“It’s ridiculous how many LEGO pieces I have.”

That’s B-P art teacher Jon Aery, still decompressing from last week’s season-ending FIRST^® LEGO^® League tournament at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, where all three elementary-level robotics teams earned recognition from the judge’s table.

“It was a great day in Albany, with our teams getting a nod from the judges for completing missions many teams weren’t able to solve,” Aery said.

The three teams — 7 Lego-Tiers (fourth grade), S.U.B. Six (fifth grade) and Whoa-Bots (sixth and seventh grades) — had been meeting, building, practicing and plotting since August. Their task: Build an autonomous robot and program it to perform various functions in preparation for the January tournament. At the competition, they were challenged to identify a problem with a building or public space and craft an innovative solution. Twelve teams from around the capital district competed.

The Whoa-Bots (Mackenzie Barkley, Nick Parry, Cameron Verrego, Cameron LaFountain and Riley Bakuzonis with volunteer coaches Bryan Bakuzonis and Stacey Betler) designed a project that uses crank energy to efficiently power a livable pod for homeless people in need of safe shelter.

From left: Lukas Morreale, Liam Snyder, Miles Purcell, Chloe Hopkins, Jacob Orapello, Madison Roser

S.U.B. Six (Lukas Morreale, Liam Snyder, Miles Purcell, Chloe Hopkins, Jacob Orapello, Madison Roser with coaches Mike Snyder and Jon Aery) assembled a biomimetic anthropomorphic hand drone designed to assist in navigating difficult access points of buildings to make repairs.

And the 7 Lego-Tiers (Devin Deitz, Max Casion, Jason Poremba, Camden McClarren, Rocco Constantino, Ben Bartow and Jared Johnson with coaches Kelly Dietz, Dave Constantino and Bonnie Peters) created a virtual tour of the B-P parking lot and building to assist people using the school grounds, by utilizing “tour builder” software and 360-degree photography. The team won the “Core Values” award.

An abbreviation for “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology,” the FIRST LEGO League program emphasizes teamwork, discovery and innovation so that students can “emerge more confident, excited and equipped with the skills they need in a changing workforce,” according to the official website.

From left: Mackenzie Barkley, Nick Parry, Cameron Verrego, Cameron LaFountain and Riley Bakuzonis

Aery, who has led the B-P elementary-level robotics teams since 2014 (along with a roster of volunteer coaches), has seen students demonstrate those principles, both on the team and during the school day.

“I see some payoff even in the art room,” he said. “How they interact with each other and understand how to work within a group dynamic. Part of the FIRST LEGO core values is they want the kids innovating, discovering things, working with other people as they try to solve a problem. That absolutely happens.”

Aery added that none of the teams’ success would be possible without “the incredible work and leadership and overall heroic effort from our coaches. They are the biggest reason this opportunity exists for B-P kids.”

Oh, and that ridiculous number of LEGOs? Each FIRST LEGO tournament season begins with a new kit of pieces. After six years, they tend to pile up.

That’s why Aery plans to invite each team member at the post-season party to build something — and then take it home.

Entrepreneur Kids Club members Luke Tucci (left) and Marley Morin are ready to take your lip balm order!

In perhaps its most ambitious business venture yet, the Entrepreneur Kids Club at Broadalbin-Perth Intermediate School researched, planned, designed and have been selling customized lip balms during the winter holiday season.

The project began more than a year ago, when the club’s market research team, clipboards in hand, fanned out across the cafeteria during lunch. Their task: Find a need they could fulfill.

What was something that students in all grade levels at BPIS commonly used? Once the team settled on lip balm, the 12-member club brainstormed flavors, settled on a design and color scheme and researched 12 to 15 different lip balm production companies.

“Our plan was to market to our students with a well-known theme that our district leaders put in place a year ago,” club adviser and fourth-grade teacher Dianne Magliocca said.

So they decided to coordinate the look (and taste) of their lip balms with the colors and designs of B-P’s core values. For example, to represent the core value of courage, they offered “Courageous Berry” as a flavor. For inclusion, they came up with “Inclusive Cotton Candy,” and so on.

“We just used that emblem for our sticks because we knew our community recognized it, and it aligned with our mission,” Magliocca said.

In previous years, the club of fourth- and fifth-graders sold homemade slime, healthy snack bags, Christmas variety items (bought and resold), homemade chocolate pretzels and Oreos and Easter baskets.

This project, however, required them to think big.

They ordered 2,500 balm sticks from a production company in the South and sold them in the lead-up to Christmas for $2 each ($2.50 with a matching bow). As of early February, the club had sold about 800 and was hoping for another bump in sales for Valentine’s Day. Lip balms also will still be available for purchase when students return from February break, or buyers can complete this online order form.

The Entrepreneur Kids plan to use any proceeds from the lip balm sales to fund scholarships for B-P graduates who plan to study business. They’re already in discussions with Charla Simonson, high school counselor, to help set those up once all the sticks have been sold.

“It would mean so much for our club to come full circle and support the kids who support us!” Magliocca said.
