Dear Silver Springs Families,
I hope you had a fabulous week!

You will be able to collect any lost and found articles, medications, and classroom supplies that have been bagged up and organized by grade and class. Please be sure to review the procedures outlined in the email you received. Remember to bring back any school library books, safety patrol belts, or classroom materials. There will be boxes labeled for each of these items when you enter the school.
To our 5th grade parents, the virtual 5th grade celebration is at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, June 10th. Our fifth grade students will be receiving yard signs on Monday as a special delivery...please be on the lookout starting around 9:00 a.m. We are so proud of our 5th graders and will miss them as they move on to middle school next year!
Stay safe and be well!

Art to Remember - Update
Dear Silver Springs families who have students who participated in the Art to Remember fundraiser and had turned in artwork. We were unable to send the Order Forms home with those students who did participate but you are still able to place an order for Keepsakes.
Due to the Stay at Home Order, Art to Remember has paused their order fulfillment operations, so shipping your keepsake products will take longer than normal. You can still order keepsakes during this time and help raise money for our school.
If you would like to place an order for products you may do so by creating an account on the website at arttoremember.com. This is a great way to save, organize, and share all the art you have at home.
If you do not already have an account through the website you need to sign up for one. Once you have created an account it will ask for the School name and Student’s name, then you will be able to view your student’s art and the different keepsakes to choose from.
Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused for those of you who had planned to give these as gifts. We appreciate your understanding and patience during these uncertain times. As always the SS PTA thanks you for your support and we wish you all well!
