FHGS 5th graders had a wonderful opportunity today to participate remotely in a mock civil trial (Barbie v. Ken) sponsored by the VT Superior Court and the Rutland County Bar Association. This experience sparked a great deal of debate among our students and provided a wonderful learning experience about the judicial process. Thank you for providing this learning opportunity for our students and others of Rutland County.
Please join us for the next Slate Valley Community Advisory Council - May 7th at 5:00 PM in the Central Office Conference Room at FHUMHS. Pizza will be served. Agenda can be found at https://5il.co/2k6ox. All are welcome!!!!
Happy Principal Appreciation Day to Slate Valley's principals. We thank them for all the ways they support their teachers, students, schools and communities every day!
Some kindergarteners helped hang up posters that Mr Danyow's class illustrated reminding our school to help "Green Up Vermont" on Saturday, May 4! The town will give out Green Up bags in the park on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. to any volunteers who wish to join the Green Up efforts. Come out and Green Up Fair Haven!!
What a great way to start the day!! Our Falcon swooped in to FHGS this morning to welcome students and staff to school.
Students enjoyed building and racing their cars in the 2nd annual grade 6 FHGS Pinewood Derby. Congratulations to all our 6th graders on their creative designs and an evening of fun watching you race your cars. Thank you families for joining us for this event!
Falcons Awards aren't just for grade levels. Our Special Area Teachers also acknowledge the amazing things our students are doing. We are so proud of all our award recipients this month!
A letter from FHGS Kindergarten teachers:
Dear families and members of the community,
The past few months, Kindergarten students at Fair Haven Grade School have spent a great deal of time learning about the concept of community and, more specifically, our own communities. Students explored community places, community workers, different community environments, and brainstormed ways to help our community. As part of the unit, we're excited to share our culminating project which entends to benefit members of our community. This year, students participated in writing brief notes or letters of thanks to veterans that have served our country. These notes will be placed around Fair Haven at various shops and strores with an accompanyingy donation bin. All proceeds will be donated to Friends of Veterans, a local nonporfit organization. Should you have interest in donating directly, please feel free to send donations to the grade school with a note that it is for the Kindergarten Friends of Veterans project, or seek out a donation bin at a local establishement. As always, thank you for your interest and support in our work.
Sincerely,
Mr. Danyow & Mrs. McCrea
Another great month of Falcon Awards! So exciting to hear about the amazing work our students are doing. Keep SOARing Falcons!
At Fair Haven Grade School, pure happiness was on display as kindergartners used the parachute for the first time in PE class!
