A Message from Mrs. Booth
We had another great week at Silver Springs! I was able to visit almost every classroom this week to read the book titled, I Am Courage: A Book of Resilience . It was the very best part of my week. We are looking forward to building upon the momentum we started last year and continuing our work growing and developing leaders who have a growth mindset. This book reminds us that we all have courage, we all need courage, and we can all conquer anything when we persevere and we are resilient!
We are looking forward seeing everyone and showing off our new renovations this week at Open House!
It's going to be a great year full of fun!
Be well,
Katie Booth

Video: How to Merge
To ensure the car loop works efficiently, effectively and safely we need you to do the following:
- Form TWO lanes as you enter the parking lot, to keep cars off Silver Springs Drive.
- MERGE alternating lanes when you approach the dumpsters. Please watch this video: How to Merge
- Pull ALL THE WAY forward in the drop off/pick up lane..
- Try to stay BUMPER TO BUMPER in the loop, don’t leave space between cars.
Thank you for your grace and patience as everyone learns the proper procedures for utilizing our loop.
