Back-to-school burgers: High-school English teacher Gary Gnirrep, left, and math teacher Mark Rudolph man the grill at the Guilderland Teachers’ Association third annual back-to-school barbecue at Tawasentha Park on Sept. 8. Donations collected at the event were to be distributed to Capital District first responders. The event’s speaker, Karen Magee, said this was only fitting, given how close the event was to the fifteenth anniversary of 9/11. She said, “We save a lot of lives through education; they save a lot of lives through life and limb.”
