School in Cache, Oklahoma for 12 years. Mrs. Silber graduated from Ohio University with a
degree in Music Education and a Certificate in Flute Performance and holds a Masters of Music in Flute Performance from the University of Oklahoma. In addition to teaching at Cache Public Schools, she has served on the music faculty of Cameron University as an adjunct instructor of flute and chamber music and served as a Graduate Assistant at the University of Oklahoma. She was named the winner of The Oklahoma Flute Society Young Artist Competition in 2007.

In her free time, Kelly enjoys coaching her son’s soccer team,
reading, and traveling.
Kelly and her husband, Ben, have two children. Jackson, 7, and Natalie almost 3. Jack is
excited to move to his new school and ready to jump right into first grade as a Whitt Wolf. We
are all looking forward to moving to Wylie. Ben has been working in McKinney since August as a project lead for Yurgosky Consulting...it will be wonderful to have our family all in one place.
I look forward to meeting the faculty at Whitt- everything about Whitt and Wylie ISD has been
so impressive! See you January 6th!

Relationship Day Planning Guide
3rd and 4th grade will be entering information in their Achievement Profile App, but everyone can participate in one or more of the activities!!
We do such a great job at building relationships with our Wolves here at Whitt!! This 20-30 minute activity gives us an opportunity to let our students share what motivates or challenges them, the dreams they have, and more personal things they want you to know about them. It not only benefits your understanding of your students on a deeper level, but this activity also gives students an insight into their classmates and friends.
