Anne Carlsen Center students returned to the ACC campus on June 11 after the threat of overland and river flooding forced an evacuation on March 23. After seeing the home life areas and classrooms, students enjoyed fun science experiments and the Center’s adapted playground equipment during their first afternoon back on campus. Students had been living temporarily at sites throughout Jamestown including Zebedee Center, Heritage Centre-Ave Maria, Hi-Acres Manor and Jamestown Hospital.
