PICTURES AND REPORTS
DISCOVERY JAY PEAK SKI TRIP Apparently, the ski trip went well in spite of the wind. Ms. Brown and Ms. Murphy shared a short video and some photos of the field trip. If anyone else from Discovery or Incredibles took photos and videos on Tuesday, then please share them with Mr. Craib to put on the announcements. LINK TO 41 DISCOVERY SKIING PICTURES  The following Mrs.-Lamb-section is a repeat from Wednesday due to the snow day on Wednesday. ST. ALBANS CITY SCHOOL HISTORY  This is a current picture of Mrs. Lamb, who is our Family Consumer Science Teacher. Mrs. Lamb was a middle school student here at SACS, back in 1970 – 1971, when the school first opened. Can you find Mrs. Lamb in her 7th-grade class photo?
As part of the St. Albans City School’s 50th anniversary, the UA team is asking students to find the answers to the following questions. It is a fun way to learn what life was like for Mrs. Lamb when she was a middle school student at St. Albans City Elementary School. We are hoping each community will pick a question to answer. Your research will be shared with everyone in the announcements. Have fun learning about 1970!
Mrs. Lamb is going to the SACS middle school dance.
1. What type of outfit would Mrs. Lamb wear to an 8th-grade dance?
Probably not leggings or flip flops!
