Broad Street Elementary reopening, has new principal
Broad Street Elementary School will reopen in a few weeks after a six-year hiatus, and its new principal, Vanessa Boyd, likes ships.
Ships, as in relationships, partnerships, fellowship and friendship, are some favorites of Boyd, who has many positive ideas to educate students and make Broad Street an anchor of the community.
Boyd, a native of Trinidad who attended high school in Philadelphia and college in New York City, most recently worked as community services manager at Pittsburgh Public Schools,
She is a beacon of energy and positivity whose plan is to connect with Broad Street families to make learning a priority for Broad Street students.
“The school is in the Butler Area School District, but the community plays a very integral role regarding what we're doing in this building,” Boyd said.
She explained that students can be enriched by the community through nutrition, parenting, counseling, day care, early childhood education, fun activities, a parent-teacher organization, community resources and more.
