Wednesday, May 9th is a National Bike to School Day in addition to being a walk to school day.  Get out your bike. Find a helmet. Bike to School. Let's try for a record amount of bikes coming to school on the 9th.  The record is 70 bikes on a bike to school day. WALKING CONTEST BETWEEN  LEARNING COMMUNITIES STARTS THIS WEEK It will run for four weeks from May 7th through June 1st. There are two prizes of a one-hour pool party at the St. Albans Recreation Pool next to our school 1. Be the learning community with the most number of laps completed on the walking path (1-hour pool party). 2. Be the learning community with the highest number of walkers/bikers tallied on Walking Wednesdays over that time period (1-hour pool party).

PICTURES AND REPORTS HELMETS PROVIDED BY LOCAL MOTION This year we are really fortunate to have received a donation of used bicycle helmets from the same organization that lends us the bike trailer each year - Local Motion. Teachers have observed quite a few students riding to school without a helmet. If you intend to wear one and don't have one already, you can pick up a helmet from Mrs. Wade in the library.  Some helmets will also be available at the front entrance of the school on next Wednesday's Bike to School day. You may disagree, but studies show that wearing a helmet while biking is a good way to protect your life. Here is a sample of a few of the cool helmets available ONE FITNESS TEAM COMPETITION PIECE OF NEWS Here is a short video sent by Ms. Jarvis during the Fitness Team Competition. It shows the students reaching 775 curl ups with two city school students persevering among the final three students. These two managed to complete at least 1000 curl ups each.  Wow!  LINK TO 30 second-long VIDEO   More Fitness team news will follow. SACS MARCHING BAND 5-2-2018 The St. Albans City School Marching Band was rained out of the Vermont Maple Festival parade last weekend. After practicing and preparing, Frank Mehaffey decided that the band would do their own parade. The band marched Wednesday afternoon down Finn Ave. and into the Fourwinds Apartments on North Elm St. and around the City School.  LINK TO 61 PICTURES THIS WEEK'S LOST AND FOUND Please contact Ms. Luneau  mluneau@maplerun.org  To retrieve your missing items.
