We will no longer load buses near the big gym. Last week the bus loop was modified to hold 10 buses. See pictures below. The order of bus parking will depend on the arrival of buses here in the afternoon. Look for your unified arts bus loading supervisor to know which bus is yours to get on. ECONOMICS UNIT UPDATE Learning communities have begun to present their business plans to staff on the business committee. Teams are coming up with some terrific ideas and excitement is building for the school mall to be held on December 14th. Business Committee TRIUMPH Representatives from Triumph presented their plan to package and market the maple syrup their team processed from sap collected on school property. They provided tasty samples to the committee. After some packaging discussion and suggestions, Triumph's plan was approved. DISCOVERY Students from Discovery talked about their plan to market beautiful crocheted hats on school mall day. Their plan involves using yarn and pine cone decorations in the packaging.  In addition they plan to donate hats to needy St. Albans residents at the Festival of Trees by hanging them on Christmas trees there. There business project is a way of linking their product to their Christmas tree farm stewardship project. Discovery's project was approved to move ahead.
