Get Caught In This Important Wave at Silver Springs… Please Invest In Your Child
The PTA greatly appreciates the generous donations from our Silver Springs families so far. Thanks to your donations we are around $7, 900. We still need to help to reach our goal of at least $10, 000 and hopefully more. Please IIYC if you have not done so yet.
Just to give you an idea of how much money is needed to cover our costs:
$50 from 4 families = 1 classroom teacher $200 for classroom supplies
$50 from 40 families = Time For Kids subscription for the year (approx.)
$50 from 7 families = Reflections (National PTA Art Contest) at Silver Springs
$50 from 40 families = Science Alive for the grade levels this year
T
his is just a FEW of the things the PTA covers…
We truly need all our Silver Springs families to give what they can to help ensure the SS PTA can support and fund all we do for our students, teacher, and school. Your donation is tax deductible. All the money donated stays at Silver Springs. You don’t have to be a PTA member to help this important fundraising campaign. This is a fuss free way to raise money for our PTA. You are helping to make a difference at Silver Springs. We want to help make educational and rewarding experiences and lasting memories at Silver Springs for all the students.
All families who donated to IIYC have a fish with their family name placed around the display case.
The last raffle winners for Principal for an hour are:
Lauren G., Maks H., Henry B, and Juno A.

Supporting the The 7 Habits at home!
Habit #4 - Think Win-Win- Everyone can Win!
What this means: Think about others as well as yourself. Long-term relationships require mutual respect and mutual benefit.
“I make deposits into others’ Emotional Bank Accounts.”
“When conflict arises, I look for third alternatives.”
“I balance courage for getting what I want, with
consideration for what others want.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Live by the Golden Rule- Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
