Available to every student, every morning!

On Friday, all students and staff at Castleton Elementary School spent the morning volunteering their time to "Green Up" various public locations. It was a beautiful day giving back to the community.










From FHUMHS Co-Principal, Ms. Paquette:
On Friday, we did some incredible things at school. It was a beautiful day and our students participated in Green Up in their local community, learning how to be citizens that show up, do the work and walk the walk. Our Middle School students also did Lifetime Activities. Students went fishing at Lake Bomoseen, kayaking on Glen Lake, worked on the yearbook, participated in team building activities, played ultimate frisbee, explored yoga, archery, technology, learned how to decorate cupcakes, practiced self care and more. Most importantly, they connected and built relationships with each other, adults and their larger community. Thank you to the staff and community members who have given their time, equipment and skill to support this work. Thank you to the Slate Valley Unified Union School District for supporting these endeavors. Thank you to the community members who support our school district and take care of our children. And most importantly - thank you to our students. You are what matters.
