Some 4th grade students worked with Mr. White and programmed their Ozobots to play a short symphony. Watch a short video at https://youtu.be/8yoASPlssB8.
We Asked. You Responded. We Listened.
Students in Ms. Durling's ELA class studied poetry analysis this whole trimester. Today, students recited poems by poets such as Paul Laurence Dunbar and Emily Dickinson. They also read short informative essays about the poet's life and work and provided an analysis of their chosen poem. Good job, 6th grade!
On Friday one of our 6th graders traveled to Mount Anthony High School in Bennington to represent our school at the Green Mountain Music Festival. She sang in the district Middle School Chorus. Great Job Bella!
The first grade students and staff would like to thank Mr. Nadler for meeting with the students virtually to speak about his job as a scientist at NASA. The students loved hearing about space and how to build a rocket. Mr. Nadler also donated books and stickers to the students. The books are already being checked out from the Library. Thank you Mr. Nadler, for such a wonderful and educational gathering!
Some of our FHGS music students were busy Saturday morning hosting a basket raffle fundraiser for their spring trip. Thank you so much to all who came and all who helped! It was a very successful morning!
This week Ms. Wagner’s Fourth Grade class filled their token nest, as a reward they were able to build forts this morning on our 100th day of school and were able to do some fun 100th day activities in our forts!
Follow Up to Hoax Call at FHUMHS from Superintendent, Brooke Olsen-Farrell.
Hope to see you tonight at 5:00 PM in the FHGS Library!
From the State of Vermont Department of Public Safety and the Vermont State Police...
This morning, February 8th, we were under a Hold in Place (Secure the Building) at Fair Haven Union Middle/High School for approximately 15 minutes as a precautionary measure due to a concerning call made to the Fair Haven Police Department. Hoax calls like this have been coming into schools across the state and country recently. While there hasn’t been any credibility to these hoax calls, we wanted to make sure we were taking the proper precautions as student/staff safety is our number one priority. Again, there is no immediate threat to Fair Haven Union Middle/High School. Law enforcement led our response, and at this time we have released the Hold in Place.
Come on out and join us for a basket raffle this Saturday in the FHGS gym!
If you see any of these wonderful people, please thank them for their dedication in helping our students! Slate Valley is fortunate to have this dynamic team in our district!
#NationalSchoolCounselorAppreciationWeek February 6th - 10th
The FHGS First Grade Team would like to thank all who came out to celebrate our Vermont Geography Unit. Students were extremely excited to share their completed salt dough maps.
A group of Fair Haven Grade School sixth graders have a lot to be proud of. They developed the first Lego League Robotics Club in our Slate Valley School District! Team Falcons’ members are John C., Anaya P., Charles D., Joey R., and John T. They are directed by Head Coach JoAnna Surething and Michelle Larose-Mangan. The group met weekly since the beginning of the school year in September, right up to the day of competition on January 28th. This group pioneered into the competition and did an amazing job! Not only did they build and program their bot to perform certain tasks, they also gave a wonderful presentation on their innovative project and learning. The Falcons traveled to Norwich University for the competition. They scored 12th out of 26 teams that participated from around the state. Proudly the team demonstrated the SOAR (Safety, Ownership, Acceptance, and Respect) values of their school. We, not only at Fair Haven Grade School, but across the entire Slate Valley School District are so incredibly proud of this group’s achievements. Congratulations Falcons, we can’t wait to see what you do carrying this enthusiasm with you next year entering middle school. Go to this link to see a slide show: https://youtu.be/0TMSZ3bCPVk
Congratulations to Cynthia Hutchins, Deb Williams and the entire cast and crew of The Enchanted Bookshop! Two wonderful productions! It takes courage to perform on stage. We recognize that courage and commend you all for your performance! Bravo!

Attention: Next week's ALICE Training, (part of the Public Safety Series) is postponed to a later date. The next scheduled presentation will be Emergency Operations Planning on March 8th.

There are still a couple scheduled for next week. One is on the 8th at the Fair Haven Grade School and then on the 9th at the Bomoseen Diner. We hope to see you there!
