Los Dirt Amigos Mountain Bike Club met this week to explore the D&H Rail Trail in Castleton. Bikers enjoyed a gorgeous fall day full of colors and a warm sun. The group encountered many animals along the ride, including squirrels, birds, a garden snake and two friendly horses. Everyone had a wonderful time riding their bikes. We look forward to next week's ride.
It's exciting times at FHGS! Red Ribbon Spirit Week is coming up, October 25th-29th. A fun week of daily themes for students and staff! As always, participation is encouraged, but not required. We invite everyone to dress to theme and enjoy the week!

Did you know about 211? Vermont 211 is the number to dial to find out about hundreds of important community resources, like emergency food and shelter, disability services, counseling, senior services, health care, child care, drug and alcohol programs, legal assistance, transportation agencies, educational and volunteer opportunities, and much more.
2-1-1 is not an emergency number like 9-1-1, nor is it directory assistance like 4-1-1.
211 is your first step toward solving everyday problems or when you are facing difficult times. It’s a free service. It’s confidential. It’s 24/7. You can call or even text! The link to their website is below.

Vermont School Safety Tip Line Announcement
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We wanted to share some good news with you: All Vermonters now have access to a new anonymous Stop School Violence Tip Line. The purpose of this tip line is to enhance school safety and security by providing students, faculty, staff, and members of the community with a tool to report circumstances that may lead to violence. These reports will assist law enforcement, human services providers and school administrators with identifying school threats and preventing school violence.
Tips will be received 24 hours a day, seven days a week and assessed to determine if an immediate action is required from law enforcement or first responders. Tips that are determined not to need immediate attention will be directed to VT 211 (United Way) for additional services.
Any student, parent/guardian, educator, or member of the community can use this tip line at NO COST!
There are three ways to submit a tip:
1.Go to www.SAFE4VT.org and click on submit a tip, then fill out the form with your information.
2.Dial 844-SAFE4VT (723-3488) and speak with a call-taker.
3.Send a text to 274637, type in keyword SAFE4VT and then your tip.
This tip line was made possible by a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice and is being managed by the Vermont Department of Public Safety. Calls or texts to the tip line will be managed by a call-taking center, which will ensure the information is forwarded to the appropriate agencies for immediate review.
REMINDER: All tips are anonymous.
Who can use the tip line?
ANYONE can submit tips, and all are encouraged to provide information that may help to stop an act of violence in our schools. The tip line is a toll-free number and can be used 24 hours a day!
If at any time you need to report a school safety tip, please connect, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
