Local Motion, an organization that provides us with bicycles to learn on each spring, has offered us a few brand-new helmets for students who may experience difficulties purchasing their own. Please see Mr. Craib (mcraib@maplerun.org) if you fall into this category. Local Motion and St. Albans City School want you arriving at school safely. There are several colors to choose from in our helmet collection.

What we will learn:

  • Language and vocabulary related to equity and anti-bias
  • History of inequity and civil rights
  • Facilitation and leadership skills
  • Public speaking
  • How to be an ally

Registration is open now through the end of May.  Registration is limited to 20 students.
There are currently 16 spots left.
