Daddy Daughter Dance Committee Meeting
Tuesday, February 7th at 10:00 AM in the Rondelle.
If you are interested in volunteering to assist with this committee, please attend to discuss the details of the event and duties required for the dance. If you are unable to attend and want to volunteer to help, please contact Leslie Cardenas at silversprings.pta.president@gmail.com
We need committed volunteers to put on this dance.
The Silver Springs Yearbook Committee Needs You!
The Silver Springs Yearbook has always been enjoyed by students and parents alike. Unfortunately, there is no Yearbook Committee Chair for next year. The yearbook is in jeopardy unless we have a parent or two step up and take over for the outgoing chair. If you enjoy taking pictures or designing online scrapbooks, please consider volunteering. This is a great way to contribute on your own time, as the bulk of the work is done from home. This is Shawnna's last year at Silver Springs so take advantage of her knowledge and guidance while she is readily available. If you are interested, please email her at biondo_savin@hotmail.com
Let's Synergize to Make the Fun Fair Great!
Mission Possible – Science Fair Chair Needed
It is that time of year for our Silver Springs Science Fair. We hope a parent or two would consider this mission to help our students REACH for the STARS! The Science Fair is an exciting and rewarding learning opportunity for all students who participate and fun for all others to experience. If no one accepts this mission, unfortunately we will have to cancel this popular event. The dates and format are flexible. Please contact Leslie Cardenas at silversprings.pta.president@gmail.com if you are interested.
Supporting the The 7 Habits at home!
Habit #3 Put First Things First- "Work First, Then Play"
What this means: Focus on what is important, schedule the important things first. Don’t be a dreamer - stay focused!
“I spend my time on things that are most important.”
“I say no to things I know I should not do.”
“I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan.”
“I am disciplined and organized.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Do your homework as soon as you come home from school.
2. Do something you have been putting off for a long time.
3. Think about your most important responsibilities. Do them first.
