Fair Haven Union High School hosted their annual job fair today, and it was a great success! Thank you to the many businesses who spent their morning chatting with our 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders. It was a wonderful collaboration between community and school.

On April 13th, a district wide Mega Arts Festival occurred at Fair Haven Union Middle and High School. This spectacular all day event was organized and executed by our teachers of music, art and theatre. Each school sent students from grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 to take part in the Chorus section, while district wide students in grades 6 through 12 participated in the Art and Band sections, with theatre group consisting of students from 7 through 12. Each section worked all day on creating together, which culminated in a grand performance for evening viewers. The doors opened to the public at 5:00 PM. Attendants were treated to a student art show, which followed with performances from the district theatre group, chorus and band. For many, it was the first time students from all the schools worked together on various projects. It was a busy, fun filled event. Please enjoy the slideshow (follow this link https://youtu.be/urvxbMRljf8) featuring photos from the day, and songs sung by the district chorus.
Congratulations to Eli who, through an internship at the Fair Haven Wastewater Treatment, received his operator license from the state of Vermont. Eli will be the first person in the state of Vermont to graduate high school with an operator license in-hand. This will allow Eli to work as a Chief Operator at any waste water treatment facitility in the state. A special acknowledgement needs to be extended to all who helped in facilitating the internship. Encouraging our town’s youth to become interested in infrastructure and municipal operations is a key component to a healthy future for not only Fair Haven, but all of Vermont.
