Who has the Biggest Heart? - Canned Food Drive Extended!
Attention Silver Springs! During the month of February, we would like to help Northville Civic Concern! Starting Monday, February 5th, we want to know “Who has the Biggest Heart?” We will be holding a canned/boxed food drive competition all week long between upper and lower elementary. Students can show they care by sending in non-expired canned and boxed goods to help stock Civic Concern’s shelves. To vote, the canned/boxed goods will be placed in their appropriate box (either upper or lower elementary). Each day the goods will be counted and totals will be posted. The winner will be shared on Friday and the winning team gets bragging rights. We will be collecting Monday, Feb. 5th through Friday, February 16th. Thank you for helping our Student Lighthouse Action Team in making this service project a success!

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 #4 - Think Win-Win- Everyone can Win!
What this means: Think about others as well as yourself. Long-term relationships require mutual respect and mutual benefit.
“I make deposits into others’ Emotional Bank Accounts.”
“When conflict arises, I look for third alternatives.”
“I balance courage for getting what I want, with
consideration for what others want.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Live by the Golden Rule- Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
