On Monday, June 9th, all current 6th graders from each of our district’s sending schools participated in Step Up Day at Fair Haven Union Middle School.
During their visit, students had the opportunity to:
✅ Meet their future teachers
✅ Practice opening lockers
✅ Learn about the classes they’ll be taking
✅ Receive their supply lists
✅ Hear about Middle School expectations
✅ Participate in fun ice breaker activities
This exciting day is just one of the many ways our district supports students in making a smooth and confident transition from primary school to middle school.
Today, our students enjoyed a wonderful presentation from Dialed Action Sports BMX stunt bike riders! They learned important safety lessons about wearing protective gear like bike helmets and the three R's of anti-bullying: Recognize, React, and Refuse.
The students enjoyed the stunts and watching their teachers be brave participants while the expert riders performed tricks over the top of them. Thank you to Ms. Wagner, Ms. O'Dell, Mr. Patel, Ms. Quinn, and Ms. Mead for your brave participation!
