Student and adult walkers rolled with the unexpected downpour and thunder during Walking Wednesday on June 5th. Most people arrived drenched but still smiling. A lucky few brought umbrellas or rain jackets. The rain arrived at about 7:00 AM and departed at 7:30. Those who got wet showed amazing flexibility. Thank you.

One hundred and eighty five people at a minimum joined the event. There were 30 adult leaders and 155 students arriving from all corners of the city. This was the largest participation number we achieved all year. This event was the last Walking Wednesday of the year for a total of 16 completed. Team Triumph had the highest participation rate. Nice team work.

The Walking Wednesday program has been going on for 11 years at St. Albans City School.

The field day event planners pivoted to fun contests in the gym when rain got in the way. There were relay races of varying kinds, hula hoop contests, group challenges, dance activities and more. Students enjoyed having the learning communities compete against each other as they cheered wildly. Teachers were also hauled out onto the gym floor to either dance or help support the success of the various activities. The gym was loud and everyone had fun.

A popular lunch of hot dogs or hamburgers followed with popsicles for dessert.

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.

Example of a ceremony - https://youtu.be/tdHXR0PYCuY
