PICTURES VOYAGERS 5TH GRADE BOOK PROJECT - SATO Ms. Sato’s students were photographed working in the library on their book projects. They each selected a book of interest and after reading it had to outline and explain the structure of the book in a written report. Ultimately, these students are learning the elements of writing needed to produce compelling stories.

BOTTLE DRIVE TO SUPPORT HOMELESS PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY I am a student at St. Albans City School and will again be managing a bottle drive for the homeless. We will not be doing care packages like we did last year, but instead will be donating money to four different organizations. Most of the proceeds will go to the Samaritan House which is a living space for unhoused people. We will also be donating to Martha’s Kitchen which is a local soup kitchen. They offer food to the people who cannot afford it. We will also be donating to the Swanton Food Shelf. The last organization we will be donating to is CVOEO which is a food shelf for families. The bottle drive this year will be on Saturday, December 18, 2021. We will be located at the front of the school from 11 am- 4 pm. Last year we had a great turnout and raised right over $3,000. WCAX and the Messenger did stories about the bottle drive. The bottles would be preferred clean and brought in trash bags. We take cans, glass bottles, and plastic. The only times to donate bottles will be on the day of the bottle drive. We are hoping for another amazing turnout. Thank you for all of the donations and all of the support from the St.Albans community. Student - Annabelle Peak ampeak@maplerun.org |

MONTH OF CODE BOOK SUGGESTIONS | |
All summer, Pearl has been trying to build the perfect sandcastle, but out-of-control Frisbees and mischievous puppies keep getting in the way! Pearl and her robot friend Pascal have one last chance, and this time, they’re going to use code to get the job done. Using fundamental computer coding concepts like sequences and loops, Pearl and Pascal are able to break down their sandcastle problem into small, manageable steps. If they can create working code, this could turn out to be the best beach day ever! | |
Grace Hopper was a pioneer in the world of computers. She revolutionized computers, making them easier for people to use and to understand. An inventor, a teacher, and a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, Grace Hopper was ahead of her time. Students will delight in the story of this woman as they learn why she was called "Amazing Grace." | |
