PICTURES LAST DAY OF CROSS COUNTRY SKIING FOR 7TH GRADERS The Catamount Ski Association program, introducing some of St. Albans City School’s students to cross country skiing, wrapped up on Thursday, February 10th. Initial interest by students was tepid but as the six weeks of instruction carried on, more and more students joined in. The warmer weather made Thursday’s final session a good one to end on. Link to 12 Pictures. USA. A REQUEST Please avoid throwing snow and ice. Most teams have made that a firm rule because no-one likes to be the unintentional or intentional target of that snow and ice. Thank you. RENAISSANCE AND USA PINEWOOD DERBY CAR TESTING Here is a 1-minute video of students’ cars being tested against their team control cars.

SAFER INTERNET DAY: A Day (or 2) Late BUT still important February 8th was Safer Internet Day. We wanted to recognize this day by providing some reminders and information about how to use the internet for school and fun, while also keeping yourself and others safe. AND, because at SACS we like to do more than just a DAY, be on the lookout this month for more messages about staying safe and having fun online. Thank you, Erica |
WINTER SPORTS UPDATE: Friday's 7th grade basketball games have switched sites. Both games will now be at Westford, not at SACS. Game times will be 5:00/6:00. A bus to Westford will leave SACS at approximately 4:00pm. Thank you for the understanding. PRACTICES AND GAMES Volleyball sign-ups are still open. Please submit sign-up sheets by Winter Break, February 18th.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH In 1956, one year before federal troops escorted the Little Rock 9 into Central High School, fourteen year old Jo Ann Allen was one of twelve African-American students who broke the color barrier and integrated Clinton High School in Tennessee. At first things went smoothly for the Clinton 12, but then outside agitators interfered, pitting the townspeople against one another. Uneasiness turned into anger, and even the Clinton Twelve themselves wondered if the easier thing to do would be to go back to their old school. Jo Ann--clear-eyed, practical, tolerant, and popular among both black and white students---found herself called on as the spokesperson of the group. But what about just being a regular teen? This is the heartbreaking and relatable story of her four months thrust into the national spotlight and as a trailblazer in history. This is NOT a history book. This is a book about the here and now. A book to help us better understand why we are where we are. A book about race. Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life. |
