📚✨ Young Authors Take Center Stage at FHGS! ✨📚

Last night, FHGS first graders celebrated a very special milestone during their Book Launch at the Fair Haven Free Library under the direction of Mrs. Mingo. Families gathered to recognize the hard work, creativity, and imagination of our young writers as they shared their journey from idea to published author.

Students used graphic organizers to map out their stories, created first drafts, edited with “Wreck-It Ralph” and “Fix-It Felix,” revised with “Louisa,” and completed final narratives featuring characters, settings, problems, and solutions. Along the way, they added illustrations and created “All About the Author” pieces that showcased their personalities and creativity.

Their collection, We've Got the Write Stuff, has been sent to a professional publisher and will arrive at FHGS this June in both paperback and hardcover editions!

The celebration also highlighted the power of community partnerships. Mrs. Mingo’s literacy students visit the Fair Haven Free Library bi-weekly, where Miss Jenny brings stories to life through crafts, songs, and movement. A special thank you to Miss Jenny for opening the library for this memorable event.

Students also had the opportunity to hear from local author Andrew Herold, who encouraged these aspiring writers to continue dreaming big and sharing their stories.

Congratulations to our first graders for proving they truly have the write stuff! 💙📖

For many years, Slate Valley Unified Union School District has proudly participated in the USDA Summer Food Service Program, providing free, nutritious meals to children throughout our community during the summer months. As we begin planning for Summer 2026, we want to hear from you!

We are gathering feedback about the SFSP non-congregate meal program, which offers free multi-day meal boxes for children 18 and under. Each box includes 7 breakfasts and 7 lunches, can be picked up by a parent or guardian, and requires no application or income qualification.

We are especially hoping to connect with families whose children are not enrolled in the Castleton Recreation Camp or the Boys and Girls Club camp at Castleton Elementary School, as those programs will continue providing free summer meals on site.

Please take a few moments to complete this anonymous survey—
https://bit.ly/SVSummerMeals2026Survey

your feedback will help us make the program as accessible and convenient as possible for Slate Valley families. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and helping us better serve our community. Please complete one survey per household.

What an incredible evening at last week’s FHGS Spring Concert! 🎶🌸

Our students wowed the audience with their musical talents, from beautiful choral performances to fun instrumental selections that showcased all of their hard work and dedication throughout the year. It was wonderful to see the gym filled with proud families, friends, and community members celebrating our young musicians.

A very special thank you goes to Mrs. Hutchins for the countless hours of preparation, encouragement, and passion she pours into our music program. Her dedication helped make this another spectacular performance for our students and school community. 💙

We would also like to thank everyone who helped make the evening such a success — including staff, families, volunteers, and supporters who continue to encourage the arts at FHGS. Bravo to all involved! 👏🎵

Our students recently had the wonderful opportunity to learn from special guest Miss Lucy Neel, who visited to share Abenaki stories, traditions, and culture. 💙

Miss Lucy brought history to life through storytelling, singing, dancing, drumming, instruments, crafts, and hands-on activities that fully engaged students throughout the visit. Students were able to learn not only about Abenaki heritage, but also about the importance of preserving traditions and sharing stories across generations.

Lucy Neel serves as the Nulhegan Education Coordinator for the Nulhegan Band of the Abenaki Tribe and is also a board member of Abenaki Helping Abenaki, Inc. Her passion and extensive knowledge created an unforgettable learning experience for our students.

Thank you, Miss Lucy, for sharing your culture, talents, and stories with our school community! 🌿🪶🥁

On May 7, three Fair Haven Grade School mentor teachers had the honor of pinning their student teachers during the Student Teaching Pinning Ceremony at Vermont State University. 💙🍎

Ms. Manning's, Mrs. McCrea's, and Ms. Robert’s student teachers each chose to have their mentor teacher place their pin — a meaningful moment that reflects the strong relationships, guidance, and support built throughout their student teaching experience.

The following day marked their final time at FHGS, and while we were sad to see them go, we are so proud of all they have accomplished during their time in our classrooms. Thank you for the care, energy, and dedication you brought to our students each day. We wish you all the best as you begin your teaching careers! ✨
