Community Partner Spotlight

TCT Federal Credit Union was recently recognized by the Ballston Spa Board of Education as a dedicated supporter of the Ballston Spa Central School District, consistently contributing to various initiatives that benefit students and staff. This year, they generously provided a $2,500 donation to support the Scotties BackPack and Sponsor-a-Scholar programs.  In addition to their financial support, TCT continually seeks ways to assist students and staff. Their Teacher of the Week program highlights exceptional educators, they provide scholarship opportunities for graduating seniors, support our staff welcome back reception in the fall and annual Wellness Expo each spring. We are grateful for their continued involvement and proudly recognize TCT Federal Credit Union as a valued community partner.

Ballston Spa Education Foundation (BSEF) is a non-profit group supporting the mission of the Ballston Spa Central School District by raising and distributing resources for educational enrichment outside the daily operational needs of the school district. Since its inception in 1996, BSEF has granted nearly $500,000 to fund educationally enriching programs at all levels. 

Our mission is to support educational enrichment for the students of Ballston Spa. Through grants to educators, we fund projects that are outside the scope of the Ballston Spa Central School District's budget.  Specifically, projects that impact students’ intellectual, emotional, physical, or social development—increasing the depth and/or variety of subjects or some other form of educational benefit.

We like to think of ourselves as the “cherry on top” of what is regularly funded by the District. We don’t fill holes in school funding; we amplify the education experiences of children.

If you would like to join BSEF in their mission for educational enrichment or make a donation that will be directed to grants to benefit our classrooms and students, please visit the BSEF website for more information on how you can help!

Many thanks to Roohan Realty for the generous donation
of school supplies for our students!

Ballston Spa National Bank has once again renewed their commitment as the Title Sponsor of the BSHS Robotics Team, OxBe4 #3044. For many years, BSNB has supported this program, ensuring our students can compete through FIRST Robotics. In an era of rising costs, BSNB has stepped up even further—generously providing $10,000 to support the team for the 2026 season. This vital contribution will allow the team to expand, compete, and mentor new teams within our district. We remain grateful for BSNB’s partnership and support of our robotics programming.

Pam Montpelier, BSNB Senior Vice President, Growth and Experience Officer, along with Rob Roemer, BSNB Senior Vice President, Information Systems and members of his IT group Ken Almonte, Maddie O’Malley and John Foley attended the most recent Board of Education Meeting for a check presentation along with the Robotics Team.  After the board meeting the team took the guests from BSNB on a tour of their build space and explained the work they do in constructing a robot.
