FITNESS ROOM

St. Albans City School is fortunate to have a fitness room. It accommodates alternative activities to those offered in the gymnasiums and is essential for students with adaptive needs. Most of the equipment in the room has been donated by staff and families and some has been purchased with grant funds. These pictures show students enjoying use of the room on the morning of January 17th, 2018. Ms. Wight supervised this particular group of students.
