A Message from the Principal...Recess and Snow Safety
1. All snow must stay on the ground.
2. Students are more than welcome to build a snowman, but the throwing of snow or snow balls is not acceptable at recess.
3. If a student were to choose to throw snow during recess, they can be subject to consequences.
We are looking forward to fun-filled winter! I appreciate your help in discussing with students the importance of snow safety at school.

Silver Springs Holiday Cookie Exchange
It’s that time of year to prepare for the annual Silver Springs Staff Cookie Exchange. We are asking our families to help spread the holiday cheer by baking 2 – 3 dozen cookies or holiday goodies for the wonderful teachers and staff. Please use sign-up genius link below. Please have all cookies/goodies in the office by 1 PM on Thursday, December 15th. Please identify your cookies/goodies. Also, label any trays or plates with your name if you would like returned.
The PTA greatly appreciates your help with this holiday event for those who work at Silver Springs.
Girls on the Run
It is that time of year again! Girls on the Run spring registration is quickly approaching and we are in need of parent volunteers to keep the program at Silver Springs. Girls on the Run is available for 3-5 grade girls. It gives them the opportunity to exercise, develop friendships, participate in team building activities, and learn how to handle difficult situations. Spring season is March 13th-May 26th. Parents need to commit to 1-2 days per week after school.
If you are interested in volunteering for this program or have more questions, please contact Pam Schulman schulmpa@northvlleschools.org

Supporting the The 7 Habits at home!
Habit #6: Synergize
What this means: Working together is better. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
“I get along well with other people and work well in groups.”
“I value the strengths of others and allow myself to learn from them.”
“I know that working together as a team we can get more done and come up with better solutions than we could alone.”
“I seek out other people’s ideas to solve problems.”
How can I do this in my life?
With your children, choose a problem you may have (like curfew or completing tasks). Use the Synergy Action Plan to summarize your child's solution and your solution: (1) define the problem, (2) share your views, (3) think of solutions, (4) choose the best solution together. See if you can reach a better solution (The High Way) than either of you could come up with alone.
