Parents of Silver Lake Elementary Students,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and break.
From our Counselors: This month in our counseling lessons we have discussed the importance of positive self-talk. Being kind and patient with yourself, especially when you make a mistake, has been shown to produce more resilience, confidence, happiness, and more! Check out this article on how to help your kids to practice utilizing positive self-talk more often.
Spring Musical: We are excited to announce our first full-length Spring Musical. We will be performing Pirates the Musical. Don’t be confused, this isn’t the one with Capt’n Jack. This is for 3rd-6th Grade students. The audition week is the week of the 4th of December. If you have any questions, please reach out to our director, Melanie Skankey at [email protected]. Additionally, here is the flyer about auditions and rehearsals. SL Theater – Pirates.pdf

Holiday Sing: Our Holiday Sing for parents will be on Tuesday the 19th. Due to the number of parents and families attending, we will have two separate times that day for parents to come see the Sing based on their kiddos’ last name. The Sing for last names beginning A-K and all AM kindergarten & preschool students will be at 10:00 AM in the gym. For those whose last names are L-Z and all PM kindergarten & preschool students, their Sing will be at 2:00 PM. Both in the gym.
Our Holiday Sing for the students will take place on the 20th 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 & Christmas Break: Our next Minimal Day will be on Thurs the 21st. 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. There is no school for Kindergarteners or Preschoolers this day. The Christmas Break starts on Monday the 25th and ends on Friday, January 5th. School resumes on Monday the 8th.
End of 2nd Quarter: Friday, December 22nd.
Make this a great week!
