First graders have been exploring the history of Earth and diving into the states of matter! As part of their learning about solids, liquids, and gases, they put their knowledge to the test by making ice cream in a bag. It was a fun (and delicious!) way to see science in action!

Andrew is a Star Recorder Player! 🎶✨
During music class, Andrew worked hard to master songs on the recorder, earning belts along the way—from white all the way to black. Through dedication, practice at home, and focus in class, he achieved his black belt in record time! Way to go, Andrew! 🎵👏

Dear Parents and Caregivers of St. Albans City School,

We are pleased to inform you that NBC5 Meteorologist, Marissa Vigevani, will be

broadcasting her live weather updates from our school Friday, March 28th between 4:30 -

8:00 am, at approximately 15 minute intervals. This is part of NBC5’s “Weather at Your

School program. We are excited to be hosting this special featured segment. Parents

should plan to stay with their children until 7:15 am if they want to be featured earlier on that morning.

Ms. Vigevani will be positioned right in front of the building by drop offs broadcasting

with the camera pointed toward the school building. There will be opportunities for some

students throughout the morning who are interested to interact with Ms. Vigevani and

“make an appearance” in the live broadcast and give a weather forecast of their own. If your child would like to come early and be on the news broadcast on NBC5, you are giving your consent for your child to be filmed.

We are excited to invite the Maple Run community to join us for two informative sessions on restorative practices, hosted by Maple Run Unified School District with guests from Starling Collaborative. These sessions will explore how restorative practices can strengthen relationships, promote accountability, and create a supportive environment for our students, families, and educators. You’ll learn valuable strategies for fostering a positive, inclusive community both at school and at home.

Facilitators for these sessions include Jeff Rouleau, a Maple Run parent, teacher, coach, and Restorative Practices Trainer, and Stacie Rouleau, a Maple Run parent, teacher, coach, administrator, and Restorative Practices Trainer. Camille Koosmann, representing Starling Collaborative, is a restorative practitioner, trainer, and coach who formerly led the Restorative Practices in Schools program for the Franklin Grand Isle Restorative Justice Center.

Light food and childcare will be provided. Register today to be part of this important conversation! For more information, contact Alexis Hoyt at ahoyt@maplerun.org or 802-370-3946.
