All Slate Valley Schools will be closed today due to the weather. Typically this would have been a delayed start, but because it is a scheduled half day we need to just cancel. Parent teacher conferences will be rescheduled.
Yesterday, 6th graders learned about the Revolutionary War. Our thanks to Lorraine Brown and Walter Sperr from the Fair Haven Historical Society for being here and sharing incredible stories from that time in American history.
Yesterday, 6th graders raked the leaves around CES. It's fun and community-minded at the same time! Thanks, 6th graders!

Last Friday, second graders went to Pond Hill Ranch for a community engagement activity. Students enjoyed brushing horses, practiced roping bulls with artificial/plastic models, and saw pigs, calves, goats, and lots of horses. All students received a free pass to attend a rodeo next year.
