DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS 6-4-2024
VOYAGERS AT THE ST. ALBANS LIBRARY AND HARD'ACK RECREATION AREA
On Friday, the 4th grade Voyagers walked to the St Albans Free Library where they learned about the summer programming and then walked to Hard’Ack to plant fruit trees near the pool. The trees were donated by Reagan Lareau’s father who coordinated the entire planting process! Imagine how nice it will be to go to the Hard'ack recreation area in 6-10 years and be able to eat fruit from those trees.
It was a beautiful day to walk and dig holes.
CITY SCHOOL MUSICIANS CELEBRATED END-OF-YEAR WITH PERFORMANCES AND FUN AT THE GREAT ESCAPE AMUSEMENT PARK
On Friday, May 31st, band and chorus members from City School joined with other musically inclined students from the district for a special end-of-year field trip to the Glens Falls area of New York State. They bussed from the Collins Perley sports complex over to Queensbury High School where they performed and then shortly after that they visited the Great Escape Amusement Park. From the pictures Ms. Brooks took of the event, it is clear that the day was a special one. The trip lasted from 7:00 AM to 8:30 PM - a long and full day.
MASSIVE WALK TO SCHOOL EVENT ON FIELD DAY - WEDNESDAY JUNE 5TH
This is an invitation to students, family members and staff to walk or bike in to school on June 5th, the last Walking Wednesday of the school year. In years past we have had over 400 students participate. Note that the buses will run as usual. We just hope that they will be almost empty on that day. Families, we hope you will consider walking with your students that day rather than driving them to school.
There will be a few raffle prizes for participants
- 1. Bootlegger t shirt
- 2. Bootlegger t shirt
3. Bootlegger water bottle
4. Certificate for 1 bike tune up at Bootlegger Bikes
5. Gift Card for $25 to Lenny's Shoe Store
FLAG RETIREMENT CEREMONY
June 14th, 10:00 am
Mt. Calvary Cemetery
Team USA in conjunction with the VFW and American Legion will be co-hosting a flag retirement ceremony. We have numerous boxes of old flags that have been prepared by students for a proper retirement. This is a solemn and dignified event. Ceremonies to retire a flag can differ from each other. The short ceremony will include a few words shared by the veterans, pledge of allegiance, taps, and an honor guard with a three rifle volley. The rifles will be fired as a part of the ceremony. There will be a fire onsite to dispose of the flags. The ashes will be buried the following day.

Flags needing to be retired can be dropped off at Team USA.
