After creatively naming a fish species developed in their imaginations, each student got to dive into the facts about their fish. Sharing where they found it and where it usually lives, they went on to share its body shape, fin array, coloration, and mouth or jaw shape Each project highlighted creativity and adaptations of their fish to their environments.

On May 14, Castleton Elementary School celebrated student creativity and talent during its annual Evening of the Arts, featuring both visual art and musical performances to close out the school year.

The evening began with a student art gallery inspired by Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis, created through a collaboration between art teacher Darcie Parrott and librarian Tina Rampone that connected art, literature, and history.

The celebration concluded with the school’s final concert of the year, as students performed a variety of choral and instrumental selections for families and community members.

🖊️✨ Creativity meets history in Library class!

Our 6th graders are wrapping up their unit on Primary and Secondary Sources by using 3D pens to create their own primary source artifacts. Students designed and built colorful objects and images while learning how artifacts can help tell stories from the past and preserve history for future generations.

Hands-on learning, creativity, and history all came together in an engaging way as students explored how primary sources connect us to real people, places, and events. Great work, 6th graders! 👏📚

Where Are They Now Wednesday: May Alumni Feature - Hannah (Korda) Ainsworth, FHUHS Class of 2009

From the halls of Fair Haven Union High School to making a meaningful impact in her community, this month’s alumni spotlight features Hannah Korda Ainsworth, a proud member of the Class of 2009.

During her time at FHUHS, Hannah was deeply involved in both academics and extracurricular activities. She played soccer, participated in indoor and outdoor track and field, and competed in softball. In addition, she was active in the rock climbing club, National Honor Society, DUO, and yearbook. Known for her enthusiasm and school pride, Hannah was a dedicated Slaterbration participant and was honored with the “Most School Spirit” award in 2009.

After graduating, Hannah attended Lyndon State College, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in Human Services while also obtaining her Level 2 firefighting certification. She went on to serve her community as a member of the Lyndonville Fire Department from 2009 to 2023. After many years of dedicated service, Hannah made the decision to step away in order to focus more on her family and pursue a career path with greater flexibility.

Today, Hannah works as a Therapeutic Case Manager at Northeast Kingdom Human Services, where she continues to support and advocate for others in meaningful ways. Outside of her professional role, she has spent the past five years coaching her sons’ soccer and basketball teams, sharing her passion for teamwork, perseverance, and growth.

Hannah credits several educators who had a lasting impact on her journey, including Mrs. Dubois, Mr. Ketchum, Mr. Bruce, and Mr. Cavacas—teachers who helped guide and inspire her along the way.

At home, Hannah and her husband are busy raising their two boys, embracing the joys and challenges of family life.
Her advice to today’s students is both heartfelt and insightful:
“You meet people for a reason—either they will change your life, or you will change theirs. And remember, you never truly know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. You’ll blink and these hallways will be behind you, so make the most of it.”

She also shares two simple but powerful reminders:
“You can do hard things” and “Be the kind you want to see in the world.”

Hannah’s journey is a wonderful example of what it means to stay connected to your roots while growing into new roles and responsibilities. Through her service, her career, and her dedication to her family and community, she continues to embody the spirit of a Slater—showing that success is not only measured by accomplishments, but by the positive impact you have on others along the way.
