Dear Stark Village School Family and Friends, We have some exciting news to share with you — two new classroom teachers will be joining our school community this year! Kindergarten/First Grade We are delighted to welcome Mrs. Ann Auger as our new Kindergarten/First Grade teacher. Ann comes to us with nearly two decades of experience in early childhood education and a heart for helping young learners thrive. She holds a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and is certified to teach through third grade. Throughout her career, Ann has worn many hats—classroom teacher, program leader, mentor, and community connector—but her passion has always remained the same: creating joyful, meaningful learning experiences for children and families. Her teaching is rooted in place-based learning, where curiosity, creativity, and connection to the natural world guide each day. Her classroom is a caring, calm space where students learn to navigate big feelings, solve problems together, and build a strong sense of community. 4th-6th Grade In the 4/5/6 classroom, we are excited to welcome Mrs. Helen Martin back to our school. Many of you will remember Helen from her time as a long-term substitute in our K/1 classroom. She holds a B.A. from Vermont College of Norwich University, with a concentration in Children’s Literature. Helen has been a longtime teacher at Groveton Elementary School, Lunenburg Public Schools, and Mt. Royal Academy North. Since her initial retirement, she has continued to support schools as a long-term substitute in both SAU 58 and the Kingdom East School District. When she’s not teaching, she enjoys reading, cooking, and simply spending time in nature. We are thrilled to welcome Ann and Helen to the Stark Village School team. They bring with them a wealth of experience, creativity, and a deep commitment to education. With strong roots in the North Country, both are dedicated to supporting the children and families who make our community so special. Please join us in giving Mrs. Auger and Mrs. Martin a warm Stark Village School welcome!

Reminder: SVS School Board meeting tonight at 5:00.

"Grit is that 'extra something' that separates the most successful people from the rest. It's the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality. " -Travis Bradberry Today, we saw the Starkies channeling grit in all its forms. Whether it was overcoming the fear of trusting the auto-belay, pushing past the point where they previously got stuck, or finally walking across the balance beam without holding anyone’s hand—no one gave up. They pushed through the tears, the knots in their stomachs, and the aches in their tired arms. Today, they tackled challenges.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER Fluoride Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (SMCL) Exceedance Public Water System Name: STARK VILLAGE SCH PWS ID: 2185010 We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. Your drinking water test result is above the Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (SMCL) for the following: Fluoride 2.0 mg/L 2024 This is not an emergency. If it had been you would have been notified immediately. This is an alert about your drinking water and a cosmetic dental problem that might affect children under 9 years of age. At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2.0 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). Dental fluorosis, in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and/or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use by young children of fluoride-containing products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water. Drinking water containing more than 4.0 mg/L of fluoride (the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s drinking water standard) can increase your risk of developing bone disease. Your drinking water does not contain more than 4.0 mg/L of fluoride, but we are required to notify you when we discover that fluoride levels in your drinking water exceed 2.0 mg/L because of this cosmetic dental problem. What should I do? Children under the age of nine (9) should use an alternative source of water that is low in fluoride. In addition, you may want to consult your dentist about whether to avoid dental products containing fluoride. Adults and children over age nine should consult their dentist or doctor and show him/her this notice to determine if an alternate source of water low in fluoride should be used. General health related questions may be directed to the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from drinking water. To learn more about available home water treatment units, you may call NSF International at 1- 877-8-NSF-HELP A machine readable version of this notice can be found here: https://5il.co/3cic9
