News from the Nest:

 

A Message from the Principal:

As we head into the Thanksgiving break, I want to begin by sharing our sincere thanks to all our parents and PTO volunteers for making all our fall events special by planning the events and organizing volunteers to ensure that our students had an amazing time.  Thank you parents for your continued support for the happenings at our school and for your involvement in the lives of your students.  Thank you also to parents and students for honoring our Veterans, having a day of Caring, American Education Week, for participating in parent teacher conferences and for your generosity with donations of candy, food, and funds for those in need.   

During this time of Thanksgiving, it is also important to think about those who are in need.  I want to remind you of the importance of instilling in your children a sense of serving those who are less fortunate either by giving of time, resources or both.  I encourage you to do something to model for your children that it is important to think beyond themselves for the benefit of someone else.

Our Silver Spring Staff would like to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful break! Thank you for all your support and dedication to our students and staff. We appreciate you!

 

PTO News:

Silver Spring Families of Grades 1 thru 5, Start your ENGINES! The Silver Spring PTO is proud to share with you this year’s fall fundraiser, Square One Art!

Packets were sent home yesterday in your child's backpack. These items could be the most PERFECT holiday gift!

 

Our PTO relies on two major fundraisers per school year to support our yearly budget. Money raised from Square One Art will go towards:

  • free to low cost family events (roller skating parties, Bingo Night, Ice Cream Social, Family Fun Night, etc)
  • PE/playground and music equipment
  • Classroom supplies supporting our academic curriculum (calculators, headphones, computer programs)
  • In-school programs (Knowledge-a-Thon, Fall Festival, assemblies, etc)
  • Time Magazine and Scholastic News subscriptions
  • SO, so, SO much more!

 

Please share in our excitement by viewing the wonderfully fun products that will feature YOUR child’s art work! To promote this excitement, we will be using a “Fundraising Race Track” in the school hallway to display our fundraising success:

  • If Silver Spring can raise $6,000, we will sponsor a Popsicle Party during a designated lunch period.
  • If Silver Spring can raise $8,000, we will have a special, free “Family Movie Night” (date TBD)! Popcorn TOO!

 

Dates to remember:

Thursday, November 30th- ALL PAPER ORDERS are due back to school

Monday, December 4th- Last day for ONLINE ORDERS**********

 

Thank you SO much for your support. Our PTO is super excited! Start your ENGINES! Let’s GO Silver Spring! If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]
