We would like to extend our "Congratulations" to several FHUMHS students that had the privelege to perform at the Castleton University Honors Festival. The students sang and played all day for a concert that evening.

Due to very low ridership, the 4:30 pm late bus will stop making runs after Friday, October 14th. The 5:30 pm late bus will continue to run the same after-school routes. Students will be encouraged to wait for the bus in the high school lobby.

Emma Ezzo, a recent graduate from Fair Haven Union High School returned to the building today as a guest speaker for Mr. Clark's 7th grade social studies classes. The focus of her presentation was on the power of photography as a tool to tell the stories of both people and places. She had an amazing opportunity last year that led to some remarkable adventures and the students were able to learn about the people and places she encountered along her way through her photography. This experience will serve as a springboard for the middle school students to document some of the meaningful people and places that make up our very own Slate Valley community! Be on the lookout for some active young photographers and we will keep you posted about the upcoming gallery exhibit the students will be creating to showcase their work.

Middle and High School Parent Teacher Conferences will be occuring the evening on November 9th and afternoon of November 10th. We will be sending sign-up information over the next two weeks. We look forward to discussing student progress with families!

Mr. Merolle's Horticulture class finished up the beekeeping season with a fieldtrip to an apiary to watch the honey extraction process. Students were thrilled to see the larger applications to what they have been practicing at school! The Slater community would like to extend a special "Thank You!" to Tom Duncan and Steve Hall of Singing Cedars Apiary for repeatedly helping the FHU horticulture class with our beekeeping efforts!

Seventh grade students in Mrs. Crumb's REAL class created political cartoons to express their opinions about the role of social media in students' lives. Students could choose whether to portray social media in a positive or negative light using imagery and symbols to communicate their message.
