A message from MAPLE RUN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Hello - MRUSD schools will be closed today,January 9, 2019. This message from Superintendent Kevin Dirth is to notify you that because secondary roads are extremely bad and forecasts predict continuing bad weather, and at the recommendation of officials, all schools in the Maple Run Unified School District will be closed today. This includes Bellows Free Academy St. Albans, Northwest Technical Center, St. Albans Town Educational Center, St. Albans City School, Fairfield Center School, and all pre-school and Kindergarten programs.

So proud of all of the students involved from both BFA and MVU that contributed to the 2018 Powder Puff Event. This year the event raised $28,283.00 to go back into the community to the Jim Bashaw Cancer and Catastrophic Fund, Camp Ta Kum Ta, and the two scholarships in Jim Bashaw's name with one being at each school.
Thank you to everyone who made the tenth year possible!

Hi all,
After much consideration of latest forecast updates, consultation with our SRO, the travel conditions from sending communities and the overall well being of our school community, I have decided to postpone the BFA Experience. It will be rescheduled sometime during assessment week. Preston will be following up with additional information.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Chris M

If you were not aware, Chef Adam and Chef Colby are awesome!!! They donated their time Wednesday afternoon (the day before Thanksgiving) to help my Girl Scout Troop make 120 Maple Cream Pies! They are earning money to go to Philly in April and to go River Rafting/Camping in June!
Jenny Parent
I have 16 girls in the troop, 2 are from Fairfield, 1 is from Milton, 1 is homeschooled, and the rest are from Georgia! The bonus was that this was yet another great way for those girls to make a connection with BFA!
Thanks again Chef Adam and Chef Colby!!


The show must go on! Tonight’s performance of Shrek WILL be taking place as scheduled. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sneak Peek...there is another "green monster" in New England this week.


As part of their exploration of the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, the Spanish IV and V students created an altar with traditional elements for the classroom. ¡Feliz Día de los Muertos!
