"Soaring to Success"
December Edition
Silverhawk Families,
Happy December!
Please enjoy pictures from our Annual Turkey Trot!! Your children have been working hard and deserve a huge congratulations on how well they walked or jogged during our special time together as a campus. Not only did they do a great job during our Turkey Trot they also performed very well on their mid-year tests, and how they have been working on showing Safety, Ownership, Achievement and Respect on our campus. It has been a great, but busy 1st semester.

SchoolStore Fundraiser
Hello Parents,
I want to personally thank all the families who have already participated in our SchoolStore fundraiser! We are on our way to reaching our goal, but we need everyone's help to make sure our teachers get the essential tools they need to help our students succeed.
If your family has not participated, there's still time!
This safe and easy fundraiser is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Your child will receive a prize just for participating, and more prizes will be awarded when goals are reached.
Please help now. It really will make a difference.
Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000005390 to show our valued teachers your support.
Thanks
