An FYI from Fair Haven's Town Manager...
Slaterbration spirit is alive and well! Check out these amazing hallways decorated by our talented students and advisors. Which one is your favorite?
Last week the Outdoor Pursuits students were introduced to canoeing. Each student completed the American Canoeing Associations Paddlesports Safety Online Course. Throughout the week they focused on proper canoeing techniques and water safety. On Friday, September 20th, they took their new found canoeing skills on to the water at Glen Lake. It was a beautiful day and the students did an amazing job!
We had a successful Coffee & Conversation gathering to kick off the year. If you missed it, don't worry! We have three more scheduled, beginning this Wednesday at 7:30 AM at Buxton's Store in Orwell.
For those who prefer evening events, we have our Budget Forums planned to begin late October at 6:30 PM, as well as our monthly Community Advisory Council meetings, (next one is Tuesday, October 8th at 5:45 PM).

We value your input and encourage you to join us at any of these events to discuss budget and all school matters.
Mrs. Crumb's Digital Media class engaged in some engineering challenges. For the challenge, students were given a set of one to two hundred Keva planks and written directions with pictures. Working in teams of two, seventh graders followed the directions to try to recreate the engineering challenge pictured in their directions. Challenges included skyscraper towers, an optical illusion woven box, an impossible tower, and a standing eagle. Seventh graders rose to the challenge and successfully recreated their structures while building the skills of working collaboratively, communicating with a team, and problem solving through design and implementation.
Installation complete! ☑️ Slate Valley's proud to unveil their brand-new scoreboard at the Fair Haven Union Middle & High School athletic fields. Come check it out and cheer on our Slaters!
Mr. VanDerKern's Design students kicked off the school year with a sweet project: designing and building solar s'more ovens to explore solar energy and heat transfer.
