The concert featured performances on the piano, and one guitar solo, and voice performances from students and community members.

Boys Basketball
Congrats to Coach Willie Phillips and Coach P for their opening home, regular season Victory over Brattleboro! Both teams played great, hustle oriented boys basketball! Great team play, boys!
Spread the love week!
MR. Bruce, along with, Shine is asking anyone who is or has ever been a part of Slater Nation (parent, grandparent, alumni, teachers, coaches, community members, students, etc.) to share anything positive they have to say about anyone or anything in the Greater Slater community (once again, past or present) this week. They can do this through social media posts or handwritten notes, which is where the index cards come in.
Thanks to Allison Irons for her great Pictures, weekly!
