PICTURES AND REPORTS




EXPLORERS
A 3rd Grade Explorer Student found all this trash in the field at recess. He would like to remind other students to throw away their garbage and recycling in the bins near the Four Square Court. Thanks for keeping our school property clean!






MAPLE SUGARING
Each Spring two teams of people, Team Triumph and the HOPE program engage in the school's maple sugaring operation. HOPE, the hands-on-practical-education program, teaches our kindergarteners about the sugaring process and they manage a group of at least 40 sap collecting buckets. In addition they manage the sap boiling process in the school's sugar house. HOPE makes sure every St. Albans City School student gets a chance to taste freshly made maple syrup. There will be pictures of tasting syrup shortly. In the meantime, these are pictures of older HOPE students collecting sap on a beautiful Spring day 3-20-2019. LINK TO 26 PICTURES
