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.
Mr. Muller's Theater group has dramatically grown this year (play on words intended!)! We are very excited for the performances they will be giving in the near future. Please join them for their Fall performance on November 16th (more details to come).
It was great seeing family and friends visit last night for our Open House. Students showcased work, and the decorated doors, created during Inquiry, were wonderful conversation starters.
Mr. Kelson's Personal Fitness students love "hanging out!" His students are working through challenging team building activities on the High Ropes Course. This unit encourages students to focus on personal achievements as well as positive team dynamics (while having a ton of fun).
Please join us at tonight's FHUMHS Open House! We will be serving a BBQ dinner at 5:00 pm and guiding families through their child's schedule starting at 5:45 pm. We hope to see you!

Earlier this month, Fair Haven Union Middle School students participated in a team building rafting trip. Connections were made early on. Students learned to trust new peers, new teachers and staff, and trust in themselves to overcome the river and rapids! Many of the day's lessons will carry through the year in middle school.
