PICTURES AND REPORTS LAKE CHAMPLAIN WATERSHED EDUCATION Instructors from Friends of Northern Lake Champlain (FNLC) and the St. Albans Museum put on a wonderful watershed workshop with our 4th graders on Friday, September 27th. We all enjoy the beauty of Lake Champlain and many of us are aware of the water quality issues it is experiencing. This workshop moved groups of 4th graders through various teaching stations to explain how farm and city water runoff pollutes the lake's waters. Several of the demonstrations stations brilliantly showed how different surfaces and materials impact water quality.  LINK TO 99 PICTURES U32 MIDDLE SCHOOL RACE (Montpelier) The cross country team traveled to Montpelier to race against dozens of teams from around the state.

St. Albans City School continues  with the 50th Birthday Celebration In 1970 Mrs. Lamb was a 7th-grade student here at City School. She remembers a time capsule being placed behind the 1968 stone during the school dedication ceremony. After some research, we did confirm there is something behind the 1968 stone. We will be removing the time capsule this fall. The contents will be revealed 50 years later during Unified Arts Night on February 20, 2020. Put the date on your calendar and join us for UA night and more 50th Birthday celebrations!
