Building more than just support— Tony, our maintenance technician, and Ms. Ezzo, one of our school counselors recently teamed up to assemble a new table. Quite the dynamic duo!
💙Slater Pride was out in full force this morning at Fair Haven Union Middle School!
Both 7th and 8th graders, along with all faculty and staff, sported custom-made FH Slater t-shirts and headed out to the football field for a big team-building activity. Together, they formed the letters FHUMS—with staff making not one, but TWO exclamation points (!!). The sun was shining, spirits were high, and the bleachers later held everyone for an awesome group photo.
These shirts were made possible through a VSAC/GEAR UP Grant. Thanks to this program, we’re fortunate to have outreach counselor Rachel Casey (a proud FHU graduate!) in our school four days a week. Rachel supports our middle schoolers with monthly workshops focused on college and career readiness.
Major kudos to Mrs. Erin Haley for organizing this big endeavor, and a huge shoutout as well to Mr. Eugene Fox, one of our incredible custodians, who came in on his time off to capture the day with his drone—thank you for giving us such a memorable view of this special moment! 🙌

In Mrs. Clement’s fashion design class, students got creative with a sweet twist—using frosting to explore the art of color mixing! 🎨🍰

NOTICE: Middle School Girls Soccer is cancelled for today, Friday, August 29th.
You never know what cards the first day of school might deal, but these 7th graders stacked the deck in their favor by playing their best hand! 🃏
Mr. VanDerKern and Mr. McKeen teamed up to welcome new students with a mix of design challenges and team-building activities, giving them a glimpse of what to expect in Design and PE at FHUMHS this year.

🎨✨ On Friday, during Inservice, every Slate Valley faculty and staff member came together for a powerful group art project.
Each table received a canvas—some with hidden letters—tasked with one simple rule: cover it completely with color. Every Slate Valley member added at least one brushstroke, symbolizing our shared commitment. The letters were revealed and brought together to spell out the phrase:
“We Are Slate Valley.” 💫
In every splatter of paint, every dab of color, and every stroke of life, our faculty and staff captured a shared truth: no matter the distractions or challenges beyond our control, we will continue to show up fully for the students who show up for us every day.
This art piece is more than just decoration—it’s our collective promise. The completed canvases will be displayed throughout Slate Valley school buildings as a reminder of the strength, unity, and dedication of our Slate Valley family. 💙
