St. Albans City School Checking Out Library Books in 1970 Library Book Checkout in 2020 MOVING IN - A shipment of chairs being unloaded and piled in a classroom. In front of the truck is the retaining wall for the patio, as well as the planter and bench which are part of the exterior trim being currently applied to the new school. (1970) Same View of the Building in 2020 EXCITEMENT IN THE MAKERSPACE At midday, on Thursday a small piece of cardboard got wedged in the laser cutter and caught on fire. The makerspace staff immediately used a fire extinguisher to put it out. No one was hurt, the fire alarm did not go off and an evacuation was not needed. The makerspace staff apologizes for the burnt smell that was noticeable in the library and other nearby rooms. Pictures of the laser cutter taken after the event PARENT COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETING January 29th from 6:00-7:30 we are hosting the first Parent Comunity Council Meeting of the year.
