Slate Valley Alumni Feature: Where Are They Now?
For this October’s Fair Haven Union Alumni Feature, the spotlight is on Taylor Goodrich, a member of the FHU Class of 2015 who has remained deeply connected to the local community. Staying close to home, Taylor has embraced local entrepreneurship as the co-owner of Woof Pack, a dog daycare, boarding, and training facility in Fair Haven. With a passion for animals and a dedication to the town, Taylor works continuously toward the ultimate goal of building the company into the best possible place for local pups to be.
Taylor’s path to business ownership was shaped in part by the impactful years spent at Slate Valley. Reflecting on high school, Taylor identifies Mrs. Doran as the most influential teacher from those formative years, sharing that she never gave up on her students and always pushed them to do better. That foundation of perseverance aligns closely with Taylor’s favorite quote by tennis legend Billie Jean King: “Pressure is a privilege. Increased pressure, when viewed as a privilege, can propel individuals toward self-improvement rather than hindering their progress.” For Taylor, viewing daily responsibilities and challenges through this lens serves as a constant motivation for continuous self-improvement.
Behind Taylor’s drive and success is a strong personal foundation, particularly the support of fiancé Shelby. Taylor expresses profound gratitude to Shelby for growing alongside the journey and standing steadfast through every version of life so far, noting that so much of who Taylor is today has been shaped by Shelby's love, patience, and support.
Taylor shared some wonderful advice for the current Slate Valley student body. Reminding students that everyone only gets one shot at life, Taylor encourages them to chase the things that make them happy, stay true to themselves, and treat others with kindness. Taylor also urges students to express love to family and friends whenever possible, take chances, make plenty of mistakes, learn from those experiences, remain unafraid to be different, and always remember that what other people think does not matter.
Slate Valley is grateful to Taylor for sharing these thoughtful insights and inspiring reflections with fellow alumni and current students alike. Congratulations to Taylor on all that has been achieved so far, along with best wishes for the continued growth and success of Woof Pack!

🍁Trivia Tuesday: Vermont's World-Famous Fall Foliage 🍁
Do You Know Why Vermont Has Such Vibrant Fall Foliage Compared to Other Regions in the World?
⬇️ Scroll down to see why... ⬇️
It isn't just scenic luck—Vermont sits at the exact geographical and biological intersection needed to create the most vivid autumn display on Earth! While many forests across Europe and Asia simply fade into uniform shades of yellow or brown, Vermont bursts into a fiery mosaic of reds, purples, oranges, and golds thanks to a rare "perfect storm" of three key factors:
1. The Sugar Maple Superpower 🍁
Over 75% of Vermont is covered in forest, and its dominant tree is the Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum). As green chlorophyll breaks down in autumn, it unmasks hidden yellow and orange pigments (carotenoids). But sugar maples go a step further: they actively manufacture anthocyanins—brilliant red and purple pigments produced when late-season sunlight reacts with sugars trapped inside the leaf.
2. The Golden Weather "Recipe" ☀️🌡️
Vermont’s autumn microclimate creates the precise conditions required to maximize color intensity:
Bright, sunny fall days fuel high sugar production in the leaves.
Crisp, cool nights (just above freezing) signal the leaf stems to seal off, trapping those sugars inside and accelerating the chemical reaction that turns leaves vivid crimson.
3. Unmatched Forest Diversity 🌲
Unlike regions dominated by a single tree species, Vermont’s forests are a rich blend of northern hardwoods. Sugar and Red Maples (scarlet and fiery orange), Paper Birch and Aspen (golden yellow), and Red Oak (deep copper) grow side-by-side against a backdrop of dark evergreen pines and spruces, creating an incredible high-contrast canopy across the Green Mountains.
In Short:
While the rest of the world gets standard yellows, Vermont’s high concentration of sugar maples combined with sunny days and chilling nights triggers a unique chemical explosion of deep red anthocyanins—turning the entire state into a living tapestry!

Meet Monday: Faculty & Staff Spotlight 🍎✨
For our October Meet Monday spotlight, we are thrilled to feature Abby Wald!
Abby has been an integral part of the Slate Valley community since 2008, making this her 19th school year with our district. She currently serves in two key leadership roles: Student Support Coordinator at Fair Haven Union Middle High School, now in her second year in the position, and a District Mentor Coach, a role she has held for five years.
Abby’s dedicated career in education spans a rich and varied background both within and outside the district. Before stepping into her current roles, she spent a decade as a 6–8 ELA Teacher at Fair Haven Grade School from 2008 to 2018, followed by seven years as Slate Valley's District-Wide Proficiency Based Learning Coach from 2018 through 2025. Her teaching career began as a middle and high school English teacher at West Rutland School from 1998 to 2008, which was preceded by a foundational year teaching English in South Korea on a prestigious Fulbright Grant.
Outside of school, Abby leads an active and engaging life filled with favorite pastimes. As a dedicated "chicken tender," she raises laying hens and loves spending time in the yard watching "chicken TV." When she isn't outdoors, she is usually immersed in a cozy mystery series—she is currently on the 25th book of Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swensen Mysteries, has completed all 29 books in The Cat Who... series, and has read over a dozen titles in the Savannah Secrets series. Abby also loves exploring the world with her husband and kids, having visited or lived in a wide array of destinations including South Korea, India, Nepal, Thailand, England, Ireland, France, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Mexico, and Canada.
When asked for her favorite quote, she cited Eleanor Roosevelt and said, "You must do the things you think you cannot do." Abby finds this quote especially meaningful in her daily work as she supports students through the challenging and rewarding process of learning.
Abby concluded her interview by expressing, "This is an amazing district to work in, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
Thank you, Abby, for your incredible dedication and years of service to our students, staff, and community!

To the Slate Valley Community,
I am writing to provide another update regarding the ongoing cybersecurity incident that began on September 3, 2026.
Since the incident was first identified, the District has been working closely with cybersecurity professionals, legal counsel, our insurance carrier, and appropriate law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident, secure and restore our systems, and determine the nature and scope of any information that may have been affected. That work remains ongoing.
As part of this incident, the District received a ransom/extortion demand. At its meeting last night, the Slate Valley School Board considered the matter and took formal action to decline payment. The Board approved the following motion:
“I move that the Slate Valley Unified Union School District Board decline to authorize payment of any ransom or extortion demand arising from the District’s current cybersecurity incident and authorize the Superintendent, in consultation with the District's legal counsel, cybersecurity professionals, insurance carrier, and appropriate law enforcement agencies, to continue all necessary response, recovery, investigation, notification, and remediation activities related to the incident.”
With this action, our focus remains on the continued response to and recovery from the September 3rd incident. This includes restoring and securing District systems, continuing the forensic investigation, determining the nature and scope of any affected data, completing any required notifications, and taking appropriate steps to strengthen our systems going forward.
We recognize that the length and complexity of this incident have created challenges and questions for our staff, families, and community. Cybersecurity investigations take time, and there are limits on what we can responsibly share while the investigation remains active. We remain committed to communicating accurate information when it becomes available, and when sharing it, we will not compromise the investigation, the security of our systems, or our recovery efforts.
Throughout this process, our schools have continued their most important work, educating and supporting our students. I want to thank our staff for their patience, flexibility, and professionalism as they have continued to serve students while adapting to the disruptions caused by this incident. I also want to thank our families and community for their continued patience and understanding.
We will continue to provide updates as meaningful developments arise.
