 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)  |

CONTENT FROM FAMILIES AND FROM SCHOOL WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE SCHOOL IN JUNE 2013? We started taking lots of pictures of school activities back in 2013. Here are three items that were important from that June seven years ago. FARM TO SCHOOL We kicked off our Farm to School program by having all learning communities plant gardens in the cement garden beds surrounding the school. Students cleaned out the weeds, planted the beds and removed weeds from the cracked cement walkways around the school. When they returned in the Fall, students prepared foods and meals to eat with the "homegrown produce".  THE LIBRARY BEGAN RECEIVING A TOTAL MAKEOVER Here the library is shown being cleared out for the new carpeting and woodwork to be installed. CHECK OUT THE UNIFIED ARTS BINGO BOARDS A few items from the Unified Arts educational programming will be highlighted in the announcements each day.
Families, feel free to share a picture (or provide permission for the school to find a picture) to go next to a birthdate. mcraib@maplerun.org BIRTHDAYS JUNE 2020
