PICTURES & NEWS WALKING WEDNESDAY REPORT At least eighty-two students and fourteen adults (96 total) walked or biked into school on Wednesday morning. This was an excellent turnout given the dark time of year and the threat of rain. Twenty more people participated this month than is usual for January. Thank you to all who joined the event or who helped make it happen. Team Voyagers had the highest student participation rate. Way to go Voyagers! The next Walking Wednesday will be held on February 1st, assuming that temperatures are above 10 degrees Fahrenheit and the sidewalks are not covered in solid ice. ECHO LEARNING CENTER STAFF TALKED ABOUT JOBS - VOYAGERS You may have noticed that St. Albans City School has partnered with instructional staff from the Echo Museum to provide some excellent STEAM learning experiences this school year. Team Voyagers have been one of the benefitting teams and they found themselves wondering what it is like to work at the Echo Center and what kind of backgrounds the staff have. A zoom meeting with 5th & 6th graders was organized where a variety of Echo staff members came forward to explain their specific jobs and what they like about them. It was fascinating listening to them and students and teachers got to ask plenty of questions. Interestingly, all but one of the employees had college degrees and some had considerable trades and volunteer experiences as well. The 56-minute presentation and discussion was captured on camera.

BFA COUNSELORS MET WITH 8TH GRADERS Five counselors met with groups of students to provide them with packets and verbal information about BFA. Course options (very focused on fundamentals in the first year) were explained and all the other learning experiences BFA offers were mentioned. Understandably, the transition to high school makes many of our students apprehensive. While BFA offers some commonalities with middle school learning, there are scheduling differences, increased academic expectations and more choices to consider. Each year, BFA works with St. Albans City School multiple times to familiarize our 8th graders with the building and schedule they will soon be moving into. |
