Parents of Silver Lake Elementary Students,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
New Preschool Teacher: We are excited to announce that we now have a new preschool teacher. Her name is Mrs. Lacey Van Wagen and she comes to us with lots of early childhood teaching experience. Her first day will be on the 6th. Please join all of us in welcoming her.
New Art Teacher: Our new Art teacher, Mrs. Emma Woodbury will be starting this week but only on Mondays until we get back from Christmas Break. We will have a sub on the other days. We are very excited for her to join our faculty. She will also be doing the Art Clubs on Monday mornings.
Pop Top Drive: Our PTA will be doing the Pop Top Drive again this year for the Ronald McDonald House. The drive starts now and ends on the 9th. The class that brings in the most pop tops (by weight) will get a party. Please have your kiddos bring their pop tops in a Ziplock bag with tier teacher’s name on it and give it to their teacher.
Musical Theater Performance: Our Musical Theater group is getting so close to their performances. We want to extend our invitation to each of you to the shows on Nov. 30th and Dec. 1st. Tickets are free, but we ask you to reserve them so we can distribute them over the two days, Dream a Little Dream Tickets Also, if you are interested/willing to help with anything backstage during the shows, please let Ms. Michaelson know as this is a big task. Her email address is: [email protected]
Choir to Perform at The Festival of the Trees: Our Choir will be performing at the Festival of the Trees this week on Thursday at 10:15 AM. That will be a wonderful experience for our Choir kiddos.
Ballroom Performance at Westlake HS: Our Ballroom team will be performing at Westlake HS on Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00 PM as part of the Westlake Ballroom showcase.
PTA Meeting: Our next PTA Meeting is on Tuesday the 6th at 10:00 AM.
Stuff the Jar Fundraiser: Westlake HS is sponsoring a Christmas fundraiser event for those in need during the holidays. The event will be held on December 7th from 5-8 PM. Here is a flyer for the event.
Ballroom, Choir & Orchestra Holiday Concert: Our holiday concert will be on Wednesday the 7th at 6:00 PM.
Christmas Sing: Our Christmas Sing for parents will be on Wednesday the 14th. Due to the number of parents and families attending, we will have two separate times that day for parents to come to see the Sing based on their kiddos’ last names. The Sing for last names beginning A-K and all AM kindergarten students will be at 10:00 AM in the gym. For those whose last names are L-Z and all PM kindergarten students, their Sing will be at 2:00 PM.
Our Christmas Sing for the students will take place on the 15th and it will be a common day for the kindergarteners so the PM kinder kiddos can participate in the school sing. Both AM and PM kinder kiddos will attend the morning session from 9:15 AM – 12:15 PM.
Minimal Day: Our next Minimal Day will be on Friday the 16th which is also the end of the quarter. Students will be released at 12:45 PM, lunches will be provided for those who want a bag lunch to take with them at the end of the day.
Christmas Break: Christmas Break begins on Monday the 19th – January 2nd. The first day back to school will be Tuesday the 3rd.
Spring Musical: We are hoping to have a Spring Musical Performance this year but we need a director. If any of you know someone who would like to direct our school musical, please let me know.
Let’s make this a great week!
Joel V. Miller – Principal
