PICTURES AND REPORTS THE LOCAL MOTION/RISEVT BIKE TRAILER IS BACK AT SACS Each year St. Albans City School hosts the Local Motion/RiseVT bicycle trailer so that 4-6 learning communities can learn to ride bikes safely. The trailer contains over 30 mountain bicycles from small to large so that everyone can ride happily.  There are also some bikes without pedals for those who need to learn fundamental riding skills. Once each student put on a correctly adjusted helmet they were given the opportunity to ride on the gravel path circling school property.  LINK TO 36 PICTURES IMAGINATION - GREAT WALKERS Among the 1-3 learning communities, Team Imagination is the one completing the most laps around the walking path.  Exercise like this is good for their health and gets them ready to learn in the classroom once they go back inside.  Nice work!
