Thank you to all of our School Counselors, School Based Clinicians, and School Psychologists! National School Counseling Week 2022 is Feb. 7-11, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems. National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. We are fortunate in Slate Valley to have a talented and committed group of school counselors, school based clinicians, and school psychologists to support our students and our school community. Please join us in extending sincere gratitude to all of these folks!

Fair haven Grade School successfully completed an "All Options" drill today. We thank our teachers, staff and students for their cooperation in completing the drill.

Middle School students tackled an engineering design challenge proposed by Ms. Cacciatore. They were given an Edison robot, a pen and an EdCreate expansion pack along with this prompt; "Attach a pen to an Edison robot using EdCreate so the robot can draw a shape." Be sure to check out the video clip of the challenge here: https://youtu.be/0UMY0XnWPsY

Mrs. McCrea's kindergarten class created an alphabet path for the Ozobots to follow. Working with Ms. Cacciatore, they were successful in having the robots run non stop from A to Z!

Yesterday at FHGS we celebrated the halfway point of the year with a pajama day. We also had a schoolwide "story hour." Some classrooms read independent reading books, some read stories together, and others completed book related crafts. 4th grade read "Rosie Revere Engineer" and did a STEAM activity where they had to create a mode of transportation that would hold Rosie and survive the trip down the zipline in their classroom. The PTO provided snacks for the ENTIRE school. Thank you to our wonderful PTO for adding to our celebration!

As a reminder - Tomorrow, Wednesday the 26th, will be a half day for students. Lunches will be provided and dismissal will be just before 11:30am. We are also going to be celebrating the mid-point of the school year with a school-wide pajama day! Everyone can wear their pajamas if they would like to. The PTO will be providing snacks for all the classrooms!
