new vocabulary words that were unique to each business and made
connections to their own experiences. The students brought along
their "Passport" for the various businesses to stamp after the
visit.

Character education project tastes yummy
In April, Abram
Lansing students participated in their first Character Education
Project--and it was as delicious as it was generous. Students
were asked to donate candy and other goodies that were used to
fill holiday baskets, which they also decorated. The holiday
baskets were donated to the St. Joseph House in Troy, Albany
City Mission and Schuyler Inn in Menands.

school, and that the best way to prevent the spread of this and

water and using a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
