Please join the Home & School Association at our next meeting! It is a great opportunity to meet other parents, learn about HSA events and discover different ways to get involved and volunteer. Bring your ideas, concerns, or questions to the Board and allow the kids to play since childcare is always provided. We hope you'll join us!

The HSA invites you to volunteer at Salford Hills this year! The HSA helps coordinate volunteers for classroom activities, social events, school events, etc. As a volunteer, you are welcome to serve as much or as little as you wish. For example, you can volunteer to help during a specific event, lead a committee, help out in your child's classroom and more.

In order to be contacted regarding these opportunities, you must join our volunteer list by filling out the form below (you must fill this out each year). There is no commitment by joining the volunteer list. By signing up, you will simply join our list to be notified of events needing volunteers and other opportunities to get involved.

5th grade students learned the difference between realistic and abstract art. They drew abstract expressions and labeled them in SeeSaw.

We enjoyed some sweet juicy watermelon, which was a perfect treat for one of our final days of summer! The watermelon was grown right here at Salford Hills in our C.R.O.P.S. garden. Perhaps you helped during the summer in the garden (Thank you!) or joined us at our summer book & veggie swaps (Yay!), or maybe your child helped plant seeds with their class last spring which grew into the garden produce we enjoyed. In addition to giving watermelon to every single student, we also make weekly donations of produce to Keystone Opportunity Center, a food bank in Souderton, throughout the entire growing season.

2nd grade gets a head start on Fall with some pumpkin math.

4th grade continues to investigate the structures and functions of plants. Using celery and food dye, students were able to conclude that vascular systems of plants absorb water and nutrients through tiny tubes called xylem.

Our kindergarten students worked hard to make and define different patterns of colors and shapes.
