AROUND CAMPUS

Mr. Mitchell and his welding students are preparing a new rack for this week's wood cutting competitions during Winter Carnival.

On Wednesday, boarding students from Japan shared their culture and travel tips with students preparing for the Japanese Travel Program. From chopstick skills to cultural etiquette and must-see destinations, the conversation helped travelers better understand what to expect as respectful visitors. This fully funded opportunity—supported by the Freeman Foundation—will send eight students and two chaperones to Japan in April and has enriched SJA students’ learning for 32 years.

For the sixth year, SJA has partnered with the Northeast Kingdom Council on Aging's Valentine's Day outreach project. Hilltoppers made hundreds of valentines that will be mailed or delivered to local elderly community members to celebrate love and connectedness to one another.

This week is Winter Carnival, and we will be collecting photos from all of the events. Bookmark this link and keep up to date on all of the photos and videos.

Students are busy preparing for next week's opening of the Hilltopper Restaurant. Serving dates and reservation information can be found on our website.

After learning about the different tissue types found in the human body, Mrs. Jones' Anatomy and Physiology students practiced various suturing techniques on oranges and bananas.

Students in Ms. Beckwith's drawing class are working on still-life projects this week.
