TUNE IN TOMORROW MORNING - NBC5 Meteorologist, Marissa Vigevani, will be broadcasting her live weather updates from Benson Village School Friday, October 24th, 2025 between 4:30 - 8:00am, at approximately 15 minute intervals. This is part of NBC5’s “Weather at Your School" program. BVS is excited to be hosting this special featured segment!
There will be opportunities for students throughout the morning who are interested to interact with Ms. Vigevani and “make an appearance” in the live
broadcast and give a weather forecast of their own. You’ll be able to watch our students on Channel 5 from 4:30-7:00am and then on the Valley CW 7:00-8:00am on cable. You can also stream live online on MyNBC5.com or in the MyNBC5 Mobile App straight through from 4:30-8:00am.
After the morning newscast, students may also partake in other recorded segments with Marissa that will air during the 4:00pm newscast later that day to recap the event and spotlight our school.

On Wednesday, October 15th, Slate Valley UUSD had the great honor of hosting the Vermont State Board of Education Meeting — a first for our district!
Among those in attendance were Secretary of Education Zoie Saunders, State Board Attorney and Slater alum Sarah Buxton, Esq., and Board Member Lyle Jepson, who many will remember as the FHUHS Principal in the 1990s.
The day began with a tour of Fair Haven Union Middle and High School, led by building administrators, followed by a presentation from Superintendent Brooke Olsen-Farrell and faculty members who showcased the innovative and unique classes offered throughout Slate Valley.
It was a busy, exciting, and truly proud day for our district—highlighting the incredible learning, collaboration, and community that define Slate Valley.
The BVS Safety and Security Patrol received their pins today!
The BVS Junior Library Assistants are hard at work!
