Good Afternoon, Slater Nation!
With the fall high school sports’ regular seasons at an end, we wanted to share how to continue watching our student athletes during the postseason. While we regularly stream sporting events on our YouTube channel for regular season home games on LaPlaca Field, all Slater athletic’s home playoff games are required to stream exclusively to the NFHS Network (NFHS) in order to comply with a Vermont Principals’ Association (VPA) directive. The VPA has an agreement in place with NFHS that postseason games are live streamed exclusively via the NFHS platform. As a result, to find any home postseason games that we live stream go to our dedicated NFHS page found at the link below. Please note, there is a subscription fee to access the NFHS service.

Last night the Slate Valley mascots showed up at the homecoming game to help celebrate the seniors from Football, Cheer, Soccer, Marching Band and Cross Country! They also spread some Slater cheer as the football team romped to an undefeated season! It was rainy, but that didn't dampen any spirit! Sadly the halftime Mascot Madness event had to be cancelled due to running out of time, but they'll be back! Congratulations to all of our Senior Fall Sports players!
As part of Slaterbration, the FHUMHS Theatre Group held two performances last week for all district elementary school students. What a nice way to give back to younger peers and show them what they have to look forward to when they are old enough to attend the high school. Special thanks to Mr. Muller and Ms. Collins for making this happen.
Students from the Law Enforcement Class applied their knowledge of "AOJ" Ability, Jeopardy, and Opportunity during real-life simulations while visiting the Vermont State Police Academy. Students had to apply their knowledge of AOJ as scenarios were presented to them. Each student had to process their scenario with a Vermont State Police Training Coordinator reflecting on their decision making during the simulation. Prior to entering the room where the simulations took place, students had to do jumping jacks and run 100 yards to increase their heart rate as if truly responding to a high stress environment a dispatcher described over the radio. A student's arrival on scene, through the simulation, had them in the role of a Vermont State Police Officer. Students also visited the Canine Training facilities. Thank you to our SRO, Ed Hunter, for arranging this great off campus learning experience.
Yesterday we held our last of this fall's Coffee & Conversations at Buxton's Store in Orwell. It was a nice turnout with about 10 community members stopping in to chat with district administrators and school board members. We will be sharing dates soon for our Listening Tours that, as in years past, will be held at the district schools during evening hours.
Due to the current weather conditions that are forecasted to continue throughout the entirety of the day both of today's soccer games have been canceled. This means that both the 10 a.m. Girls Varsity Soccer and 1 p.m. Boys Varsity Soccer for today have been canceled. Be sure to join us next week to cheer on the Slaters as the fall sports playoffs get underway!
This week throughout Slate Valley, all of our schools took part in some experiential learning. Benson Village School’s fourth graders went to Castleton University and learned about the Hidden History Archaeology Project. Orwell Village School’s grades 4, 5, 6 traveled north to Isle La Motte and visited Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve. Castleton Elementary School’s 3rd graders walked along the main street of Castleton, visiting local sites connected to the traditionally read story, “The Blue Cat of Castle Town”. Fair Haven Grade School enjoyed performances by singer / songwriter Jared Campbell, who through humor and engaging music, shared messages about being a good friend, finding your passion, and making a positive impact in the world. Fair Haven Union Middle & High School’s Theatre Group invited all district elementary students to the high school to see performances of various short skits themed around fairy tales. The younger students had a wonderful time. Just a few of the great things happening in Slate Valley!
Good afternoon. Today, at approximately 2:30 pm, we had an accidental trigger of our "Lock in Place" alarm. This was an unintentional alarm as there was no incident that occurred. We apologize if this may have caused concern for any of our students.
CHANGE IN PLANS!
We will be celebrating our Boys Varsity soccer seniors: Noah Woodbury and Patrick Stone tonight 10/20 at 6:30pm, along with Marching band, cross country, cheer and football.
Come one, come all to celebrate these amazing seniors.
Congratulations to all!
Congratulations to our Girls Soccer Team! Quite an accomplishment! Slater Nation is very proud!
Throwback Thursday: Going back 50 years to construction of an addition for Fair Haven Union High School.
Where Are They Now Wednesday: Highlighting Adam Kent - Class of 2004
FHUHS Alumnus Adam Kent lives by his favorite quote, "Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise." Since graduating from Fair Haven Union High in 2004, Adam has been off and running developing a trade that led to establishing his own company. In November of 2004, he started working as an apprentice for a mason. In July of 2015, Adam became owner and lead mason of his own sole proprietor company called Kent Masonry, LLC in Montpelier, VT. His business is still going strong today.
While at Fair Haven Union High School, Adam ran cross country for 2 years, played soccer, football, basketball, baseball, and participated in chorus.
When asked if there were any teachers in particular he would like to give credit in helping him toward his success, he replied, “I had a lot of great teachers, but actually had no idea Masonry was even a workman's trade prior to 2004 when I started. I would say Business Math with Mr. Cavacas and Speech and Debate with Mr. Hier have been the most helpful, and useful, classes for me today as a business owner.”
Currently, Adam lives in Washington Country, near Montpelier with his wife Danielle, daughter, son, two dogs and a cat. He still actively participates in sports such as mens league baseball and obstacle course runs like Spartan races. Last year he started coaching some area youth sports teams.
The advice Adam would give to our current Slate Valley student body is, “Whatever life throws in your path, just take a deep breath, stay calm and keep moving forward. Always believe in yourself. There is nothing you can't do if you put in the work and set your mind to it.”
Great words of wisdom Adam, and obviously ones you have taken to heart.
