Helmet Safety





The 1st-6th graders have been a part of helmet safety lessons.  The goal has been to demonstrate the need for wearing a helmet.  One way we have done this is by dropping a water melon strapped into a bike helmet onto the cafeteria floor and then dropping it again without a helmet.  The results are fine with a helmet and are not pretty without a helmet.  We want all St. Albans City School students to wear helmets whenever biking, skateboarding or rollerblading.


There will be one more bicycle and ski helmet order placed this Fall. Please fill in an order form by Friday October 11th and return it to Mitch Craib, Room AC217 craibm@fcsuvt.org  527-0565 x3217.  Order forms can be picked up at the school's front desk.


Please wear your helmet every time you bicycle, skateboard or rollerblade. Be a role model for your peers by always protecting your head.
