LINK TO VIDEO HEALTH FAIR AT SACS - Free Saturday February 4th 9:00 AM to Noon at St. Albans City School Pictures from a previous NMC health fair at SACS Hand Print Flag In the tradition of supporting our troops, SACS has displayed a student-created flag near the front office that will be hung up for the duration of The Green Mountain Boys deployment. We invite students, staff and community members to bring in photos of those who are deployed to hang with our flag. As part of our Wishing Well, pictures will be displayed below the flag so that we can wish those well who are defending our freedom. If you would like to bring in a picture, please put it in the red, white and blue box at the front office desk. Please put name of person in picture AND the name of the person we should return the picture to if you would like it returned (name and community would be helpful). We will begin displaying pictures on Monday, January 30. We will continue to add more pictures as they come in.
