PICTURES SIXTH GRADE BIKE TRIP TO THE ABBEY About 45 students and an array of adults went on a bicycle ride to a riverside picnic area at the Abbey Restaurant. This business is located about 11 miles out on the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail. 6-12-2023. This annual St. Albans City School bike trip is a celebration event where sixth graders can enjoy being with their peers before moving up to the older middle-school grades. This trip has been a right of passage for 6th graders at St. Albans City School for more than a decade. At least a dozen students chose to ride back to school rather than take the bus back after lunch. Pictures were shared by a variety of adults on the trip; Ms. Brown, Ms. Smullen, Ms. Chisholm, Mr. Craib, and a parent. Thank you. Link to 114 photos.  EXPLORERS CARNIVAL The Explorers team took advantage of the warm and dry weather to hold a series of fun outdoor carnival activities. The pictures we have cover just a fraction of the games the students played on that day. Link to 11 Pictures.  EXPLORERS SMASHED PIES INTO TEACHERS FACES Various staff members (Cavallo, Rouleau, Van Guilder, Borst, Weisburgh, Bachand) all volunteered to have Explorers students smash a pie plate filled with whipped cream into their faces. Apparently, the students who got to do this were winners in some way. Ms. Smith captured the event in photos. Link to 51 Pictures. Link to 8 second video of Ms. Cavallo getting pied. More video clips will be added tomorrow.   ONE MORE FUN ACTIVITY - DANCING IN A BOX Ms. Smith took photos and video clips of students and staff members dancing to music within the confines of a box outside of Ms. Rouleau's office area. It was a chance to let loose to some funky musica and have fun in the last days of school. 6-13-2023. Link to 35 pictures and video clips.  TRAVELERS TWINS 6-13-2023

| LIBRARY ALL CHECKED OUT BOOKS WERE DUE ON FRIDAY, JUNE 9TH. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THEM BACK SO OTHER STUDENTS CAN ENJOY THEM NEXT YEAR.
June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month. During this month-long celebration we recognize the resilience and determination of the many individuals who fight to live freely and authentically. In doing so, we are opening hearts and minds, and laying the foundation for a more just and equitable America. Please check out these books in our library today to learn more about people and characters that represent our diverse community!  While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about issues like race and gender from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice.  Brian has always been anxious, whether at home, or in class, or on the basketball court. His dad tries to get him to stand up for himself and his mom helps as much as she can, but after he and his brother are placed in foster care, Brian starts having panic attacks. Ezra's always been popular. He's friends with most of the kids on his basketball team--even Brian, who usually keeps to himself. But now, some of his friends have been acting differently, and Brian seems to be pulling away. Ezra wants to help, but he worries if he's too nice to Brian, his friends will realize that he has a crush on him . . . But when Brian and his brother run away, Ezra has no choice but to take the leap and reach out. Both boys have to decide if they're willing to risk sharing parts of themselves they'd rather hide. But if they can be brave, they might just find the best in themselves--and each other.  From the acclaimed creator of Dancing at the Pity Party and Roaring Softly, this picture book is a pure celebration of all the different human bodies that exist in the world. Highlighting the various skin tones, body shapes, and hair types is just the beginning in this truly inclusive book. With its joyful illustrations and encouraging refrain, it will instill body acceptance and confidence in the youngest of readers.  |
