PICTURES & NEWS




NAVIGATORS KINDERGARTEN - EMMONS

We have been learning about all aspects of owls. This includes their very different sounds, types of owls, how they hunt (the relationship of predators and prey), where they live ( their habitats), and whether or not they migrate. We observed lots of pictures of owls and created a variety of fun crafts. Of course we learned all about owl pellets; what they are, how they are formed and then we dissected them. All of the children participated and really enjoyed being scientists. :) Miss Tara

Wednesday will be the the 98th day of school this year.




8TH GRADER BACK IN TIME PICTURE



8TH GRADE BABY PICTURES


The yearbook committee is collecting baby pictures from 8th graders. Please find a picture to have posted in this year’s book. If you don’t have one from the first year of life, then consider turning in one from the first six years or so (example - as a kindergarten student). We would like a "baby-picture" from every 8th grader.


Digital copies can be sent directly to Mr. Craib at mcraib@maplerun.org

If you want to bring in a hard-copy photo you can give it to your teacher. Mr. Craib will scan the photo immediately and return it to you the day you bring it in.  


The picture below is of a student from a previous 8th grade group in the last few years.




FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF PASSING THROUGH THE LIBRARY…


As part of the St. Albans Museum’s ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, they set out to highlight the often-overlooked perspectives of Black Vermonters in St. Albans and Franklin County. The resulting exhibit, Untold Stories, Unheard Voices, celebrates the lives and contributions of several key figures from the Revolutionary War to the 1960s through a series of informational panels. Printed versions of the panels below will be displayed in our library from February 2 through the 18th for your enjoyment.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH


Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history.  Check out these books from our library today!


Here is a link to our online library catalog to access these texts, place holds, and see what’s available in our school library.



This is the story of one brave family: Mildred Loving, Richard Perry Loving, and their three children. It is the story of how Mildred and Richard fell in love, and got married in Washington, D.C. But when they moved back to their hometown in Virginia, they were arrested (in dramatic fashion) for violating that state's laws against interracial marriage. The Lovings refused to allow their children to get the message that their parents' love was wrong and so they fought the unfair law, taking their case all the way to the Supreme Court - and won!




One of our very own Red Clover Nominees from this year’s list!  Hall-of-famer Elgin Baylor was one of basketball’s all-time-greatest players—an innovative athlete, team player, and quiet force for change. One of the first professional African-American players, he inspired others on and off the court. But when traveling for away games, many hotels and restaurants turned Elgin away because he was black. One night, Elgin had enough and staged a one-man protest that captured the attention of the press, the public, and the NBA.




This powerful, rhythmic lullaby reassures readers that their matter and their worth is never diminished, no matter the circumstance: through the joy and wonder of their first steps and first laughs, through the hardship of adolescent struggles, and the pain and heartbreak of current events, they always have, and always will, matter
