News From the Voyagers
The Voyagers made some 'shocking' discoveries this week when they got a visit from IBM.
Alarms and sirens were screamed, spaceships spun, and everyone enjoyed delving into
snap circuits and electricity. Our thanks go out to Chris Ford, Jose Martinez, Ronnell Lutz, and
Renzo Silva who took time away from IBM to help us learn about what they do and lead us in
some hands-on explorations!

Jill Goodroe from The New England Dairy Council came to SACS on Monday to present our school with The Fuel Up to Play 60 grant check. We were able to get this grant with the help of students who are logging on to www.fueluptoplay60.com and tracking their nutrition and activity every day. We are very excited to use this grant for gear to keep our students active and tools to help promote healthy eating, and bring new and exciting menu options into the cafeteria.

Behind the Scenes with "The Phantom Tollbooth"
This week is an exciting week for SACS Drama Club as they have three performances. Thursday morning, they are performing for the entire school and Friday evening and Saturday afternoon for families and friends. It takes hard work, and many different people to put the show together each year.
Over the last seven weeks, City School students taking the Open Doors Backstage Pass class have enthusiastically been creating props for the school play, The Phantom Tollbooth.
“It was really fun to be with other artistic minds and share my ideas. I learned how to be more artistic and also made some new friends. "I helped create the ax, the car and the numbers and letters that will be used
during the play.” (Cassie, 5th grade student)
