You are invited: Community Fancy Dance Bus Parade June 5th Starting at 10:00 Dear St. Albans City School Community, We would like to invite you to our Fancy Dance - modified to adhere to COVID 19 restrictions and to include the entire school family. We will be parading through the City on June 5th starting at 10:00 am. We will make 25 stops (see the maps to find the stop near you). Each stop will only be a few minutes - long enough for a dance, a quick wave to each other, a chance to say hello, and a chance to pass out Chocolate Covered Strawberries. We need your help to make this a safe and fun event for all. While the Fancy Dance is usually for 1st to 3rd grade, this year it is a Prek-8th grade event. School staff will be modeling social distancing in buses. We will have our masks on, and many of us will be dressed up or in costumes - and others will be dressed casually. Dress in a way that feels best for you. To show our Raider Strong Spirit, we ask that you wear facemasks too. When we stop we will exit the buses and remain in the road. We ask that you remain on your property or the sidewalk. When the music starts, we will have a short block dance party, while our strawberry runners leave strawberries for each family involved. When the music stops we will load back on to the buses and go to the next stop. We will wave goodbye from the buses as we leave. While our dance party will be short, we feel that getting to see each other before the year ends is just so important. We hope that all of our families will be able to join. We are so excited to see you all - We are Raider Strong LINK TO PARADE ROUTE/MAP (7 brief pages) |

HARVEST OF THE MONTH June | Dairy
Vermonters are crazy about their dairy - we have 677 dairy farms operating in the state currently and we produce around 2.6 billion pounds of milk per year. In fact, the state is more dependent on a single commodity than any other state! Whether it's yogurt, award-winning cheeses, fluid milk, or cheese curds, Vermonters know good dairy & the industry is an integral part of the state's working landscape. Next time you are out driving around, take note of the happy cows grazing in their pastures and give them a wave to celebrate this month's harvest! |
