WALKING WEDNESDAY IS TODAY

PICTURES AND REPORTS MEASUREMENT DAY On Tuesday morning 1st, 3rd and 5th graders had their height and weight measured to determine the average Body Mass Index of our student population. The health promotion organization, RiseVT, performs these measures in our school district on a yearly basis to determine if the children in our community are experiencing enough exercise and receiving healthy nutrition. St. Albans City School has made many changes in the last decade to increase opportunities for exercise and to provide access to healthy food. The previous set of measurements showed that Franklin county has high rates of obesity and the hope is that our schools will be able to make a difference in changing that situation. 10-8-2019 Mr. Moretti and these students traded jokes while the students waited to be measured. This is one of the height measurement tools that were used during the morning Some of the RiseVT staff were photographed setting up their computers to process the data IMAGINATION ART Ms. Martinson's students were concentrating hard on completing their artwork when these photographs were taken.  LINK TO 18 PICTURES 10-7-2019 DISCOVERY ART This group of students listened to music as they did their artwork in Ms. Haberman's classroom.
