This fall, instructional leaders at Broadalbin-Perth are studying an age-old question: Where does sixth grade belong – at the elementary or secondary level? Director of Curriculum and Instruction Terry LaFountain and Director of Special Education Brad Strait, who are leading the study, are inviting parents and other members of the school community to help answer that question during a series of three meetings scheduled to take place before Thanksgiving.
In 2021, Broadalbin-Perth launched an equestrian therapy program for identified students with special needs in partnership with Saratoga Therapeutic Equestrian Program (STEP) in Glenville. This year, 20 Broadalbin-Perth students in pre-K through grade 5 are participating in the program.
Students in Brian Henry’s Adirondack Sciences class at Broadalbin-Perth Jr./Sr. High School recently participated in an invertebrate stream survey of the Kennyetto Creek. Students collected samples of a variety of organisms and then brought their samples back to the classroom to study and identify the various species.

“No child should ever have to worry where or when their next meal will come from.” That’s the mission of the Broadalbin-Perth backpack program, according to elementary school co-principal Kerri Barker. The program, which works in conjunction with the Northeast Regional Food Bank and the Broadalbin Presbyterian Church, provides food for between 35 and 45 B-P students during weekends and school breaks. “The program provides food stability for families when they need it so our students can come to school nutritionally sound and focused on learning,” Barker said.
