AROUND CAMPUS
Last week was all about the dough at The Hilltopper. The students worked with pasta and pizza dough. They also made assorted pasta dishes, and of course, pizza!
Seniors Sequoia Simonds (l) and Patrick Stowell (r), in Mr. Bugbee’s Construction Technology Class, have been doing a paid internship with Bread Loaf, the construction company restoring the Depot Square Apartments, in St. Johnsbury. Joining the students are Aaron Carr, Work-Based Learning Coordinator at SJA and Ryan Ahern, the Director of Safety and Training for Bread Loaf.
Mr. Bugbee's students have also been busy on campus this week as they wrap up the garage project they started in the fall.
Students in Mr. Jones' class spent time outside in the park computing the amount of carbon trapped in a variety of trees by recording the type of tree and their circumference at chest height.
