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, May 10th 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 administrators and faculty arrive around 6:15

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.

After the morning newscast, students may also partake in other recorded segments with

Marissa that will air during the 4:00 pm newscast later that day to recap the event.

Please fill this google form out if your student plans to come early - thank you!

St. Albans residents are eligible for trees to plant in their yard through Community Canopy, an Arbor Day Foundation program.

Residents register for up to two free trees at vtcommunityforestry.org/trees. The online sign-up process guides participants to the best locations to plant trees to help cool their homes, reduce energy usage, and save money. Residents can also sign-up by phone by calling the Arbor Day Foundation at 855-234-3801.

The trees must be reserved in advance and will be available for pick-up on Saturday, June 1, 10am-12pm at the St. Albans City School (29 Bellows Street).

The tree giveaway is being coordinated by the St. Albans City School and the Vermont Urban & Community Forestry Program, a partnership between the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation and University of Vermont Extension.

The Champlain Valley Fair has partnered with Libraries around the state to promote reading. St. Albans Free Library is one of those librarys. Students who read three books over the summer can qualify for a free 1-day pass to the fair, a coupon for a $5 ice cream, and a free book.
