Gold Badge Safety Recipient
Congratulations to our November Gold Badge Safety, Sarah. Sarah is extremely responsible. For example, when she knew there was going to be a new child in a kindergarten class, she met him at the office on his first day to make sure she got to know him. That way, she would be able to help him around. Each day she greets the kids with a sweet and sincere smile. Sarah takes her leadership role seriously, showing this as she talks to children to help them explain and resolve their problems on their own. For all that she does, we say congratulations to Sarah!

Annual Angel Tree
With the approach of the holiday season comes the opportunity to give to those who may be less fortunate than we are. Salford Hills will continue our tradition of decorating a tree with angels. Each angel will have a number written on the front designating a child’s age. If you would like to participate in this project, please take an angel from the tree located in the main office lobby. Please sign out the angel in the main office.
You may choose an angel from the tree during conferences on November 19th, 20th and 21st. If you wish to choose an angel after this date, please contact the office.
We are asking for donations in the form of gift cards.Fifth Grade Just Say No Club
