Happy Friday Slater Families!


Today's Principal's List and Student of the Marking Period assembly was an amazing example of the academic excellence of our FHU students! THIS LINK is a copy of the introduction speech I shared with students. We are all very proud of our students' accomplishments!


Our winter athletic practices will begin after Thanksgiving Break, on December 2nd (middle school begins on the 3rd). Please use the Athletic Link at the bottom of the newsletter for details around days and times.


Have a great weekend!
