Last week the Outdoor Pursuits students were introduced to canoeing. Each student completed the American Canoeing Associations Paddlesports Safety Online Course. Throughout the week they focused on proper canoeing techniques and water safety. On Friday, September 20th, they took their new found canoeing skills on to the water at Glen Lake. It was a beautiful day and the students did an amazing job!

Mrs. Crumb's Digital Media class engaged in some engineering challenges. For the challenge, students were given a set of one to two hundred Keva planks and written directions with pictures. Working in teams of two, seventh graders followed the directions to try to recreate the engineering challenge pictured in their directions. Challenges included skyscraper towers, an optical illusion woven box, an impossible tower, and a standing eagle. Seventh graders rose to the challenge and successfully recreated their structures while building the skills of working collaboratively, communicating with a team, and problem solving through design and implementation.
Installation complete! ☑️ Slate Valley's proud to unveil their brand-new scoreboard at the Fair Haven Union Middle & High School athletic fields. Come check it out and cheer on our Slaters!

On Friday, September 6th, the Outdoor Pursuits class enjoyed a bike ride to the Poultney River, where they explored the riverbank and began identifying local plants and animals.
The Slate Valley Unified Union Snack Sack Program is thrilled to announce that it has once again been awarded a $10,000 Community Impact Grant from the United Way of Rutland County. This marks the fifth consecutive year that our program has received this generous support, which has been instrumental in addressing food insecurity among Slate Valley students.
Since its inception in 2019, the Snack Sack Program has partnered with the United Way to provide nutritious snacks to students in need. The program's success is largely due to the tireless efforts of Carrieann Wolcott, who has worked closely with Kris Benway to secure funding and ensure the program's continued operation. In addition to her work with the Snack Sack Program, Wolcott has also been instrumental in establishing the Vegi-Van-Go program, which distributes fresh fruits and vegetables to families in Slate Valley, Poultney, and Wells. This initiative has helped to promote healthy eating habits and improve access to nutritious food in our community.
