BFA STUDENTS On Friday March 24th students at BFA had a half day off.  Many former SACS students returned to St. Albans City School for an alumni day visit in the early afternoon.  They shared their BFA experiences with the 7th ad 8th graders, just as older students had done for them at SACS in years past. ADVENTURERS Some of the adventurers visited Branon's Sugar House last week.  They enjoyed seeing the sugaring operation and the big farm machinery.
