Breakfast With a Buddy
Breakfast With a Buddy
Join us for the Silver Springs PTA's Breakfast With A Buddy -
Thursday, May 25th and Friday, May 26th.
This is a free event put on by the PTA that the students really enjoy. It's a great way to bring our families together and to show appreciation to all the 'buddies' who support Silver Springs students. We are in need of volunteers to contribute food items and we will also need several volunteers to work at the event.
Look for RSVP forms in the next Monday Envelope. Families with the last name starting A-L will come on Thursday, and families with the last name starting M-Z will come on Friday.
For those of you signing up to contribute food, we need the perishable items delivered to Silver Springs on Wednesday, 5/24 (no food delivered at the event please). Non-perishable food can be left in a bag (labeled "Breakfast") in the PTA kitchen anytime between Monday, May 22nd and Wednesday, May 24th.
Any contribution or donation of time is truly appreciated!

Supporting the The 7 Habits at home!
Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw
What this means: Balance feels best. In order to maintain and increase effectiveness, we must renew ourselves in body, mind, heart and soul.
“I take care of my body by eating right, exercising, and getting sleep.”
“I find meaningful ways to help others.”
“I spend time with family and friends.”
“I learn in lots of ways and places, not just at school.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Go for a walk.
2. Read a book.
3. Volunteer in your community.
4. Value the difference in others.
