SJA Social Media Mash-Up
A beautiful sunset over Fairbanks Field. Thank you for the photo, Mrs. Higgs!
Seniors Phoebe Donn (l) and Poppy Shattuck attended Green Mountain Girls State over the summer, a program that gives Vermont high school students the opportunity to learn about government, civic engagement, and leadership. Both were elected editors-in-chief of the program’s newspaper and, in that role, helped facilitate a candidate debate—an experience that gave them a firsthand look at journalism, political discourse, and the responsibilities of student leadership.
Students gathered on Friday as part of a partnership between SJA and the town of St. Johnsbury to paint murals on the Jersey barriers under the Portland Street Bridge. This art initiative featured seven teams of three students, each painting scenes centered on recreation. Students began the process earlier this month by painting the barriers grey in preparation for the main art event.
Members of the Improv Club warm up with an exercise called "Take Some Direction."
Mrs. Fox’s Photography I class began a new unit this week, attempting to answer the question, “What is a camera?” They started off by sitting inside a “camera” in Fuller Hall Lobby. This Camera Obscura demonstration helped them to visually understand that a camera is actually a simple tool made of a dark room, a lens (small opening), and a light-sensitive surface. Any guesses as to why the image on the wall is projected upside down?
There is some great mountain bike racing happening today and tomorrow at Burke Mtn. Go Hilltoppers!
