Valentine Pop Sale for Kids Against Hunger
This will be the 8th year third grade students from Silver Springs have participated in Kids Against Hunger meal packaging. Each year, prior to our packaging event, third grade holds a fundraiser in order to contribute to the food packaging cost. This year third graders will be selling Valentine Pops to raise money. The sale will be held during all three lunch periods from January 29th-February 9th.
For 50 cents, Silver Springs students will be able to write a special message for a Valentine, and third graders will attach the message to a Valentine Pop and deliver the messages and sweet treats to the intended valentines on Valentine’s Day.
It’s a Win-Win! Give some love and show some love!
It's Box Top Collection Time!!!
Our next Box Top drive is coming up soon, Feb. 5-9!
Here's a fun way for your student to start assembling your submission now! Print the attached collection sheet and have your child glue or tape your tops to it! This is a great way for your child to visually see the impact their tops make as they add up! (And it makes counting them much easier for your coordinator too!)
Turn in your sheets, or baggies/envelopes, marked with your child's name and their teacher's name, to the school office, or the collection bin just inside the school lobby. Thanks for your support!
See the attached file for a full list of participating products. For more information, please contact Michelle Cummings: cummingsml@hotmail.com
Yearbook Committee Plea
The Silver Springs Yearbook Committee is looking for creative volunteers to help make the yearbook a success for the kids today and a treasure for years to come. If you enjoy taking pictures or working on your home computer designing online scrapbooks, please consider joining this fun committee. Parents enrich the school community through their participation and generosity. This is a great way to get in those volunteer hours on your time as the bulk of the work is done from home.
A 60-90 minute training will be held at Silver Springs on February 7th from 5:30-7:00. (Bringing your own laptop would be beneficial.) We hope to see you there!
If you are interested in volunteering on the yearbook committee, please email Yearbook Committee Chairs, Kristin Gifford and Melissa Micklash at silverspringsyearbook2017@gmail.com.
Thank you!

After-School Activities Student Pick-Up

Thank you for your understanding in putting student safety first and we appreciate your effort to follow these rules.
Supporting the The 7 Habits at home!
Habit #3 Put First Things First- "Work First, Then Play"
What this means: Focus on what is important, schedule the important things first. Don’t be a dreamer - stay focused!
“I spend my time on things that are most important.”
“I say no to things I know I should not do.”
“I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan.”
“I am disciplined and organized.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Do your homework as soon as you come home from school.
2. Do something you have been putting off for a long time.
3. Think about your most important responsibilities. Do them first.
