Art to Remember - Due Date Extended to March 18th
The Silver Springs PTA is so happy to be working with Art to Remember again this year! It is a great program that allows you to buy keepsakes showcasing your child’s artwork. With more than 40 products to choose from, you’re sure to find something special. They also make great gifts for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or a special birthday. Check out the poster hanging up on the PTA board as you enter the school to see some of their awesome products! The Due Date has been extended to March 18th. We are excited to see what creative talent our Silver Springs artists turn in this year! Please be sure your child writes their full name on the back of their artwork with their teachers name and grade.

Supporting the The 7 Habits at home!
7-Habits Take Home Activity for March
This month’s Habit: Habit 5 Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
Activity: Eyes, Ears, Heart Activity
Due Date: March 29, 2019
Habit #5 - Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
What this means: Listen before you talk. In order to communicate effectively, we must first understand each other.
“I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings.”
“I try to see things from their viewpoints.”
“I listen to others without interrupting.”
“I am confident in voicing my ideas.”
“I look people in the eyes when talking.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Listen.
2. Put yourself in the other person’s place.
3. Notice a person’s body language, tone, and reflection in their voice.
