Alfred 5th graders working on their STEM project...paper roller coasters. Mrs. Knight's students learned about potential and kinetic energy, as well as perseverance!

Students in Ms. Knight’s 5th-grade conducted a mock trial as part of their civics unit on the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens. Students have been learning about the Bill of Rights and the protections granted to citizens outlined in that document. The case was Mary Peabody V. Virgil Goodman in the case of the missing lunch. The eight-person jury deliberated after hearing the evidence presented in court. Each witness was sworn in prior to testifying and the lawyers presented evidence with each argument. Students did an outstanding job!

Alfred and Lyman Staff Rock! Our food drive this weekend at Market Basket coordinated by staff members Ellie Donnelly and Carlena Smith was a huge success! Not only did they collect 3 car loads worth of food, but also managed to raise over $500 in cash donations!! A big thank-you to Chris Duquette and Kris Bear also staff for taking a few hours out of their weekend to help us out. We really appreciate it!
