Dear Slate Valley Community,
Thank you for your participation in our recent ThoughtExchange on school budget priorities. We had over 400 participants with 125 thoughts shared and over 5,000 ratings for those thoughts. On Monday night, the top thoughts were shared with the school board. They were as follows: Continuation of free breakfast and lunch in our schools. Enrichment opportunities for students. Further addressing student behaviors throughout the system. Addition of a wood and metal shop 7-12. Staff retention. The board and administration plan on taking all of this feedback into consideration as we build our FY24 budget this fall. - Brooke Olsen-Farrell

Grades K-6 at Benson Village School will be holding our first, of three, STEAM weeks starting November 14-18.
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.
Our students are looking for donations of the following materials.
Spools with or without thread on them
Metal coffee cans with the lids
Rubber bands (any size)
Metal washers (any size)
Toothpicks or wooden dowels
Our first challenge will be a “tin can racer” with the objective of traveling the farthest distance. We will be using our classrooms, hallways, and gymnasium throughout the week.
Thank you for your support.
If you have donations you can send them in with a student or call the school at 537-2491 to arrange drop-off. You can also email jthurston@svuvt.org to make drop-off arrangements.

At no fault to anyone, the tickets that were sold were accidentally recycled. If you were a person that purchased a ticket, or tickets, or know of anyone that did, PLEASE email Kim Alexander (kalexander@svuvt.org) with your name and phone number and we will reprint tickets.
Tickets were pulled through Friday, October 14th. We will give everyone a chance to respond and get their name back in by Nov 1st and then we will
PULL 17 DAYS WORTH OF TICKETS AND NOTIFY WINNERS.
Thank you all for your UNDERSTANDING of this dilemma.
