Specials Day
Attention Silk Hope kindergarten - 5th grade students, this Friday, May 29th is Specials Day. On this day you will get to participate in activities related to your specials classes. This day has been set aside for you to work on activities prepared for Music, PE, Media, and Art. You will not be assigned work in your other subjects this day. There is an online version that is in your teacher's weekly learning plan and we have copies of the activities for our students that have paper packets. We are making this a competition to see which class completes the most activities. You will find the directions included with the activities. We hope you have fun learning and participating in our Specials Day.
Virtual Art Show
Welcome to Silk Hope's Annual Art Show! Since we can't walk through the halls and see our artwork that was created this year we are having a virtual art show which you can access on our school’s website. We don't have quite as many works of art as usual, but all students that take art have a piece on display in our slideshows. The shows are split into grade spans k- 2, 2/3 - 5, and 6-8. We hope you enjoy looking at your artwork as well as the artwork created by all of our talented art students.
8th Grade Recognition
Just a reminder that we will be honoring our 8th graders with a drive-through parade celebration Friday, June 5 from 6:00-7:30pm. Also, remember to send in 3-5 digital photos of your child so that we can continue our 8th grade memories slideshow tradition. The pictures can be of any age and do not have to be school-related but must be appropriate. Please email pictures to Mrs. Moss at smoss@chatham.k12.nc.us by Friday, May 29.
Material Pick Up/Drop Off
Students will need to drop off their library books, athletic uniforms, and any other school items on Monday, June 8 from 10am-2pm or Tuesday, June 9 from 12noon-6pm. Items will be placed in bins which will then be placed in quarantine. At this time, we are waiting for information regarding laptop collection. We will also have student’s personal items from desks and lockers available for pickup during these times. More information about pickup and dropoff procedures will be shared closer to the event.
Student Celebrations
During the past few weeks we have celebrated and shown appreciation for Silk Hope School staff and also our parents and families who have both worked tirelessly during this time of remote learning. At-home learning has been challenging yet you have all demonstrated perseverance and the willingness to be lifelong learners. As we begin to wind down the year, we would like to give both families and staff the opportunity to share student celebrations. Use this form to share any celebrations that have occurred during this time of remote learning and any statements of appreciation. These notes will be shared with students when they pick up their personal belongings on June 8 and 9.
Week 9 Learning Plans
We will have paper copies of week 9 learning plans and supplemental materials ready for pick up Tuesday. The packets will be in a box located next to the front door. The paper packets are for students in 3rd-8th grade with no internet service or unreliable connection.
Meal Distribution
Silk Hope will serve as a meal distribution site through Thursday, June 11. Meals will be available Monday-Thursday from 10:30-1:00pm. In addition, CORA and the West Chatham Food Pantry will be offering a mobile food market this Tuesday from 10am-noon at the Chatham Hospital. Various foods will be available in a small market setting. Families will choose what serves their family best. No proof of income or residency is required.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Keep SOARING Eagles!
