Meet Monday: Faculty & Staff Spotlight - November
For our November Meet Monday feature, we are honored to celebrate Deb Infurna, Principal of Fair Haven Grade School! As Deb prepares to retire at the end of this school year, we take this opportunity to highlight her incredible career, dedicated leadership, and lifelong connection to Slate Valley.
Deb’s journey with our district runs deep, as she is both a former student of Fair Haven Grade School and a proud graduate of Fair Haven Union High School. Her career in education spans nearly 25 years within Slate Valley/ARSU. She began her work in the district in 1995 as a speech-language instructor at FHUHS for five years, following prior speech-language roles in New Hampshire and the Southwest Supervisory Union. After serving as a special educator at Mill River Union High School for seven years, she returned to Slate Valley in 2007 as the Administrator of Special Education at FHGS. She transitioned to Assistant Principal in 2015 before becoming Principal of Fair Haven Grade School in 2018.
Outside of school, Deb leads an active and fulfilling personal life. She enjoys spending time on the water swimming, boating, and fishing, and finds great joy working in her flower and vegetable gardens. She and her husband also love traveling, spending time with their seven grandchildren who live in Vermont and Costa Rica, and cheering on Vermont Green FC at soccer games.
Deb finds daily inspiration in Jane Goodall’s quote, "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." She also strives to live by the core norms developed at FHGS: to assume good intentions, ask questions to seek understanding, and know that what you permit, you promote.
Reflecting on her tenure, Deb shares that serving this community for 25 years as an educator and administrator has been a true honor. She leaves with immense gratitude for the people, relationships, and experiences that have defined her career, and she feels especially grateful for the opportunity to lead and support the extraordinary staff at Fair Haven Grade School as they educate, nurture, and care for students and families. Slate Valley will always hold a special place in her heart. Thank you, Principal Infurna, for your quarter-century of heart, guidance, and unwavering commitment to our community!

District Spotlight: Kim Alexander Named Next Principal of Fair Haven Grade School
The Slate Valley Unified Union School District is pleased to announce that Kim Alexander, currently Assistant Principal at Fair Haven Union Middle and High School, will become the next Principal of Fair Haven Grade School on July 1, 2027. She will succeed longtime Principal Deb Infurna, who will retire at the end of the school year.
To ensure a smooth transition for students, families, and staff, Ms. Alexander and Ms. Infurna are already working closely together. Throughout the remainder of the school year, Ms. Alexander will participate in school meetings, Professional Learning Communities, and staff training opportunities, allowing her to reconnect with familiar colleagues, build relationships with newer staff members, and prepare for her new role.
Ms. Alexander brings more than three decades of experience in education and deep connections to the Slate Valley community. Her career began in 1991 as an instructional assistant at Fair Haven Grade School under Principal Skip Cook. From 1992 to 2003, she taught physical education and health at several schools, including Orwell Village School, Benson Village School, West Haven, and Castleton Village School.
During her time at Orwell Village School, colleague Chris Stanton helped her develop the classroom management skills that would become an important foundation for her teaching career.
In 2003, Ms. Alexander returned to Fair Haven Grade School as its full-time physical education teacher, a position she held for 18 years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she adapted her teaching to provide physical education remotely through Google Classroom before helping students safely transition back to in-person learning.
In the fall of 2021, Ms. Alexander expanded her leadership responsibilities when she became Slate Valley's District Athletic Director, serving in that role until the spring of 2024. She then transitioned to her current position as Assistant Principal at Fair Haven Union Middle and High School. Her experience as both a teacher and administrator across nearly every school in the district has given her a unique Kindergarten through Grade 12 perspective and a strong understanding of students' academic, social, and emotional development.
Throughout her career, Ms. Alexander has remained committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive school environment where every student feels seen, known, and heard. She believes in meeting students where they are, providing consistent support, and building meaningful relationships, beginning with something as simple as learning every student's name.
Having previously worked alongside approximately 85 percent of Fair Haven Grade School's current staff, Ms. Alexander is excited to return to a school community she knows well. She looks forward to building on the school's strong sense of pride, teamwork, and dedication to students. As a lifelong member of the community who raised her two children in the district, she also understands the importance of maintaining strong connections between the school and the families it serves.
Ms. Alexander earned her Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Castleton State University and completed her administrative licensure through Vermont State University–Castleton. Outside of school, she enjoys hiking, kayaking, reading, and spending time with her three grandchildren.
The Slate Valley community congratulates Ms. Alexander as she prepares to take on this new leadership role and looks forward to welcoming her back to Fair Haven Grade School. The district also extends its sincere appreciation to Principal Deb Infurna for her years of dedicated service, leadership, and commitment to the students, staff, and families of Fair Haven Grade School as she approaches her well-deserved retirement.

🏈 "Thursday" Night Lights in Slate Valley! 🍂✨
There is nothing quite like autumn high school football in Vermont. Last week’s matchup between the Mount Anthony Patriots and our Fair Haven Union Slaters brought the community together under glowing stadium lights surrounded by peak fall foliage. A massive shoutout and photo credit to Corey Stone for capturing these incredible drone shots from above.
Go Slaters!
