Voyagers helping out during lunch.






















Dear SACS community,

We all need to help make sure our compost is usable. That means NO TRASH! we are still struggling to keep trash out of the compost at breakfast. Here is how we did on Monday.

Here's how the compost should look.

Let's all work together. When we can keep the compost clean there will be cause for celebration!

Thank you,  Your School Counselors

Note:  There seems to be quite a bit of uneaten fruit that could be going into the share fridge rather than into the compost.







Investigators 
The Investigators used their harvested pumpkins to make some yummy treats for Fun Friday. First grade students made delicious pumpkin spice ice cream, second grade made sweet roasted pumpkin seeds and for a contrast, third grade roasted salty and spicy pumpkin seeds. All community members tried some of each treat. It was a Fun and Tasty Friday!

Maker Faire
This past weekend a few SACS students joined other Vermont educators and students from the Create Make Learn Institute at the Champlain Maker Faire as part of an interactive Learn to Code display with EMMA (Everyone May Make Anywhere), a mobile makerspace. 

The students used Makey Makeys and Scratch to create an Onomatopoeia garden where plant and flowers said onomatopoeia words. They also had a station where people could 'fish' for animal cards and when the card was 'caught' it made the animal noise. It was a great day to show off our learning and also see all the creations and ideas other people had.

Salsa Making
Triumph made Salsa with Mrs Lamb and Mrs Smith on Friday 9-23-2016.  The tomatoes and other vegetables used to make the salsa came from the school and community gardens.  Delicious!
