Tuition Tickets and Silent Auction
We want to thank you all that have helped with baskets and donations for our Gala that is coming up this Saturday. You do NOT want to miss it but if you can't come , you still can buy a tuition ticket for a chance to win $2,500 OFF your tuition bill. You can also bid on some great items online in our SILENT AUCTION. You do NOT have to be present to win.
Open House
Tuesday, November 6th is our Open House for prospective families. We will be advertising on the radio and in print but we all know that “word of mouth” advertising is paramount to any endeavor. Will you help us in promoting our Open House?
The Open House details are:
November 6th
6:30-8 pm
For prospective families
All our faculty and staff will be on hand to answer any questions. There will be refreshments. We appreciate your help and as an added bonus, if you refer someone to the Open House and if when they register they place your name on the “referred by” section, your elementary child can have a dress down day the following week.
Thank you again for partnering with us. We are blessed to have you in our Silverdale community.

Veterans Day Program
Make plans to join us for our Veterans Day 2018 program, Monday, November 12th starting at 1:00pm in the Silverdale Baptist Church sanctuary.
The theme of this year's event is Because You Served, We Stand, and this year's keynote speaker is Lieutenant Colonel Warren L. Benjamin, United States Air Force (Retired). Lt. Col. Warren “Fang” Benjamin flew high-performance front-line combat fighter and supersonic trainer aircraft his entire career, logging over 4,000 flight hours in the McDonald Douglas F-4 Phantom II, the Northrop T-38 Talon, and the Boeing F-15 Eagle. He deployed multiple times during his career to overseas locations including Thailand, Malaysia, Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. He is a combat veteran of Operation Southern Watch, where he flew complex air defense missions over Southern Iraq and Operation Iraqi Freedom where he was the deputy base commander of Baghdad International Airport. Lt. Col. Warren Benjamin retired from the United States Air Force in 2013 after 24 years of distinguished service.
If you (as a veteran) or your veteran would like to attend this service as our distinguished guest of honor, please fill out the form at the link below so that we have a record.

Important Information
REMINDER: The convenience of automatic enrollment was live as of January 2018! Your child is now conveniently re-enrolled each year without lifting a finger. Should anything change, all you need to do is schedule an appointment with your child’s principal and complete a withdrawal form no later than March 15th.
The $240 re-enrollment fee will be billed to your account annually on March 16th.
Tuition will automatically be billed via RenWeb.
Failure to withdraw before March 15th will incur a 50% charge of the upcoming school year’s tuition.
Thank you for entrusting your child's education to us. We consider it a privilege to be part of your family's life!
“Apply thine heart unto instruction,
and thine ears to the words of knowledge.”
