We had a successful Coffee & Conversation gathering to kick off the year. If you missed it, don't worry! We have three more scheduled, beginning this Wednesday at 7:30 AM at Buxton's Store in Orwell.
For those who prefer evening events, we have our Budget Forums planned to begin late October at 6:30 PM, as well as our monthly Community Advisory Council meetings, (next one is Tuesday, October 8th at 5:45 PM). Additionally, you're always welcome to attend our School Board Meetings, which are open to the public.
We value your input and encourage you to join us at any of these events to discuss budget and all school matters.
Next week, please join Casey O'Meara, Slate Valley's Director of Curriculum, Slate Valley Interventionists and Coaches, and Principal Amy Roy for an informational meeting on leveraging Title I Schoolwide Programs to Address Barriers to Academic Success on September 25, 2024, 5:30pm. at the Benson Village School. The meeting can also be accessed using the following Google Meet link, meet.google.com/xxa-vdnw-cyz.You may view the slides (with a survey at the end) from the presentation here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1YT199Tzt3lXdmpfQzQgpf2hjjiES3f4Vh5qdoEcyZrA/edit#slide=id.p1

The Slate Valley Unified Union Snack Sack Program is thrilled to announce that it has once again been awarded a $10,000 Community Impact Grant from the United Way of Rutland County. This marks the fifth consecutive year that our program has received this generous support, which has been instrumental in addressing food insecurity among Slate Valley students.
Since its inception in 2019, the Snack Sack Program has partnered with the United Way to provide nutritious snacks to students in need. The program's success is largely due to the tireless efforts of Carrieann Wolcott, who has worked closely with Kris Benway to secure funding and ensure the program's continued operation. In addition to her work with the Snack Sack Program, Wolcott has also been instrumental in establishing the Vegi-Van-Go program, which distributes fresh fruits and vegetables to families in Slate Valley, Poultney, and Wells. This initiative has helped to promote healthy eating habits and improve access to nutritious food in our community.
