From FHUMHS Co-Principal, Ms. Paquette:
On Friday, we did some incredible things at school. It was a beautiful day and our students participated in Green Up in their local community, learning how to be citizens that show up, do the work and walk the walk. Our Middle School students also did Lifetime Activities. Students went fishing at Lake Bomoseen, kayaking on Glen Lake, worked on the yearbook, participated in team building activities, played ultimate frisbee, explored yoga, archery, technology, learned how to decorate cupcakes, practiced self care and more. Most importantly, they connected and built relationships with each other, adults and their larger community. Thank you to the staff and community members who have given their time, equipment and skill to support this work. Thank you to the Slate Valley Unified Union School District for supporting these endeavors. Thank you to the community members who support our school district and take care of our children. And most importantly - thank you to our students. You are what matters.

On Wednesday, May 1st, the Law Enforcement & Public Service and the Truth, Justice, & Conflict classes of FHUHS visited the Vermont Air National Guard base in Burlington, VT. The students met with a variety of Airmen and Guardsmen serving in the law enforcement, fire, and medical fields. They learned about the variety of career opportunities the Guard has to offer for those looking to serve their country in the armed forces. The trip was both educational and informative for the students... and teachers.

Middle school students in the new FHUMHS Design Lab are exploring additive and subtractive manufacturing and using GlowForge laser-cutters and Ultimaker 3D-Printers to build their designs. Most are using TinkerCAD, while some students are trying out the Adobe Suite to create their designs. One student created a custom truck bed printed on the Ultimaker.

The "Portrait of a Graduate" is a statement that captures what we value as a community for every student that graduates from FHUMHS. It is a living and breathing document that is reviewed and adjusted over time. FHUMHS is currently updating its Portrait of a Graduate and needs your help! On April 30th, at 5:30 pm, we will be holding an in-person community forum to gather thoughts and ideas from all of our stakeholders. This will be an opportunity for our community members to give feedback on the draft statement found here: https://5il.co/2jydt. We will hold follow-up meetings on May 14th and May 21st at 5:30 pm, as well. Please feel free to review the document on your own and send your input to Ben Worthing at bworthing@svuvt.org. Thank you for supporting our students!
