Last week during a JV Baseball game at Otter Valley, Aiden Goyette showed what it means to cover the base!
Thank you, Lisa Thayer, for the great action photo!
Mr. Chris Stanton and his Middle School Project Build group have wrapped up another successful round of hands-on projects—marking the final session of the school year! Included in this batch of work is a slotted mailbox for the Benson Village School!
Throughout the year, students participating in Project Build have had the opportunity to explore creativity, problem-solving, and practical skills through a variety of construction and design challenges. Under Mr. Stanton’s guidance, they’ve learned not only how to use tools and materials safely and effectively, but also how to collaborate, plan, and bring their ideas to life.
This past weekend, our talented FHUMHS band proudly participated in two Memorial Day parades. On Saturday, May 24, they marched in the Fair Haven Parade, and on Sunday, May 25, they continued the tradition in the Orwell Parade. We’re so proud of their dedication and the meaningful role they played in honoring those who served. Thank you Slaters and band director Mrs. Samantha Adams.

Yesterday was a special one at our home meet as we celebrated our incredible Track & Field Seniors!
These outstanding student-athletes were honored for their hard work, dedication, and leadership throughout their time on the team. Their commitment on and off the track has truly made a lasting impact, and we are so proud of everything they've accomplished.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support them, and to the families, coaches, and teammates who have been with them every step of the way.
Congratulations, Seniors!

Submitted by science teacher, Ms. DesJardins: "After a year of dedication and hard work, our AP Physics students took their College Board exam last week. Today, we celebrated their efforts and perseverance with our annual AP Physics breakfast — a well-deserved moment of recognition and relaxation!"
This morning, all 6th graders had a special visit from the Slate Valley Middle School team as part of our ongoing efforts to support students through their transition to middle school.
The Middle School Principal, Ms. Paquette, School Counselor, Mrs. Ezzo, and two teachers, Mr. Clark and Mr. Merrill, traveled to each elementary school to meet with the 6th grade classes. They introduced themselves, shared what life in middle school is like, and answered lots of thoughtful questions from students.
Each student received a brochure featuring photos and descriptions of all middle school faculty and staff—helping our future middle schoolers get to know the faces and roles of the team that will support them next year.
This visit is just one of the many ways Slate Valley works to make the move to middle school exciting, informed, and welcoming for our students.
