Report from P.E. Teacher, Ms. Jarvis.

After winning the school-wide competition out of 360 students, on Saturday, December 2nd, six students from City School participated in the Elk's Hoop Shoot Competition at BFA.

The Elk's Hoop Shoot is a free throw competition with ages ranging from 8-13. At the BFA competition our students participated against students from different schools in Franklin County. Overall our students represented City School very well.

Like the 4th grade Voyagers before them, the 4th graders in Triumph worked on the problem of feeding brown bears in Alaska adequately, while allowing enough salmon to pass upstream to spawn. Here is a picture of one of the Triumph inventors.

Jay Peak Season’s Pass

We will have a limited number of Jay Peak Season’s Passes for students in grades 6-8. These will be useful for families that ski. Discounted equipment rentals are available. Transportation to and from the mountain is NOT included. Yet, for students that will have access to use this pass, we want to make it available.

Any student that would like to have access to a pass and feels they will be able to make use of it, please write a letter of request to Mr. Craib and explain how you are a Safe, Achieving, Caring member of our school community. Mr. Craib will create the list that goes to Jay Peak. Pass award letters will be given to each qualified student. The deadline for letters of request is Friday December 8th.

December is the month of code at St Albans City School. All month long we will celebrate coding, computer science and innovation.
