Good Morning Slate Valley Families,
As you all know we take any safety concern seriously. We are aware of conversations circulating on social media and throughout our communities regarding youth behavior; specifically in Poultney and Fair Haven. Law enforcement is looking into any concerns that come to their attention and are stepping up their presence in the area. We are not aware of any threats to our schools in Slate Valley.
As always if you hear, see, or know of something please say something. You can always submit a tip anonymously:
Go to www.SAFE4VT.org and click submit a tip, then fill out the form with your information.
Dial 844-SAFE4VT (723-3488) and speak with a call-taker.
Send a text to 274637, type in keyword SAFE4VT and then your tip.
Best,
Brooke Olsen-Farrell

Yesterday, some middle and high school students who participated in the new FFA (Future Farmers of America) program traveled to this year's State Convention. Four of our high school students competed in the Dairy Cattle Evaluation contest and placed 2nd overall! This is quite an accomplishment for a dedicated group who had never competed before. Congratulations to Julia C., Storm G., Emilee H., and Breanna M. This group will be advancing to the regional competition at the Eastern States Exposition! All of our students exhibited tremendous cooperation and resiliency and were a fantastic portrayal of how we should represent ourselves, our school, and our community. Way to go Slaters!

The arrows were made using a 36" round dowel, pencil top erasers, and duct tape. The students did a great job.
