2nd graders in Mrs. Gorruso's and Miss Burke's classes have been working with Kyle Cornell, a Project Manager at Casella Construction, who has been helping with a science unit on engineering. During his first visit, Mr. Cornell explained his job and showed photos of projects he was involved with. During his next visit, students worked in pairs to create two types of structures using only index cards and paperclips. The first structure had to be at least 12 inches tall and the second had to be at least 6 inches tall, but had to be strong enough to hold a book. Students worked well together and many had success with their index card structures! Stay tuned for more engineering challenges !

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

Last week Mrs. Lanfear's and Ms. Redding's third grade classes continued our CES tradition of going on the Blue Cat field trip. Students visited the Higley House, Cobbler Shop, and observed the town's beautiful architecture as they journeyed to the Castleton River, where they had hoped to catch a glimpse of the infamous cat himself.
