Thank you all for participating in the Slate Valley food drive benefiting Fair Haven Concerned! After three weeks of collecting, the numbers are in, and the food delivered. As a district we donated 1158.5 lbs. of non perishable and household items to the local food shelf. Listed below are the winning classrooms in each school for largest donation.
OVS = Ms. Valley
FHGS = Ms. Morgello
CES = Ms. Russell/ Ms. Molis
Middle school = Mr. Clark
The winning classrooms will choose if they would like a pizza or ice cream party sometime in March.
While it was a tight race, the school with the most pounds donated and winner of the district wide prize is Castelton Elementary coming in at 590.1 lbs. CES will be joined by Miss Lucy Neel from Holland, VT for a day of learning centered around Vermont Native American history and culture. Lucy is a member of the VT Nulhegan Abenaki tribe.
Earlier this week, students at Orwell Village School enjoyed eating lunch with superintendent Brooke Olsen-Farrell. During this time, they also gave a presentation exhibiting the benefits of going outside for recess even when it is below 10 degrees! It was quite the compelling study, backed by research and data. A fine example of student advocacy and leadership. Good job!
Slate Valley will be holding Preschool Screenings during the month of March. Call to make an appointment for your upcoming preschooler, or please share this information with anyone you may know with a child about to enter preschool. Thank you.
