SPORTS THIS WEEK  |
PICTURES USA STUDENTS ARE WATERING PLANTS AROUND THE SCHOOL We have had a long and mostly dry stretch of weather for weeks now and plants around the school are getting thirsty. Mr. Rouleau’s students have been taking on the task of keeping the plants alive, especially the recently planted ones. USA students started a number of plants from seed and nurtured them under grow lights. Those have been planted in the schools raised bed herb gardens and in the market garden space next to the community garden. DREAMERS KINDERGARTEN HANDLING CHICKS - DUPONT PREK AND KINDERGARTEN TRICYCLE PARADES PART TWO Six more classroom groups headed out for their own tricycle parades on Thursday, 5-27-2021. The weather was a little cooler but the kids still had a great time. Link to 26 Pictures. EXPLORERS TWINS AND QUADRUPLETS | ||||||||||
CARE PACKAGES TO SOLDIERS FROM ST. ALBANS CITY SCHOOL There are currently over 1,000 Vermont Army and Air Guard soldiers deployed around the world, performing various missions from Africa to Europe. Please help us in showing them support by giving a little hello from home by adding some items for care packages we will be sending in the next couple of weeks. Bins are located at the front of the school and will be collected by Team USA daily. Below are some of the items that soldiers have mentioned would be greatly appreciated:
Sometimes, a kind word of support and appreciation, a poem, or even a sketch or drawing mean just as much to a soldier far from home. We will also be collecting letters -- both to service members or their families – to show support and let them know we are thinking about them in these trying times. For the younger kids – soldiers love pictures and drawings – so please take a couple minutes to brighten the day for someone who is far from home. This will be an ongoing project so please keep the items and letters coming early and often. Any questions can be sent to Team USA Thank You |
