PICTURES AND REPORTS Team USA Movement Project Team USA students are learning about movement for their thematic unit. They are learning about immigration, emigration, and why people move from place to place. Each student is working on a project to explain how the United States has become the multicultural country it is today. Some topics include: the Great Migration, the African slave trade, and westward expansion. When they finish, students will present their projects to their teachers and classmates to share their learning with others. Thursday 1-12-2017.  LINK TO PICTURES Community Career Exploration Article in the Messenger Newspaper By Dave Schofield, St. Albans City School Mentor This past October, St. Albans City School initiated a valuable new mentoring program for middle school students.
