Hello Silver Hill Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and found many reasons to be thankful and show that appreciation for others and yourselves. I would personally like to thank all of you for welcoming me to Silver Hill as the new Principal and helping to make this year the best it can possibly be! Together we can and will make a difference!
Last week, the staff took part in a training to promote more social emotional learning though the Sanford Harmony program. The students will be participating in several activities throughout the year, including Community Circles to build a stronger more trusting community of friends and learners. We will be including families from time to time as well. We hope you are as excited as we are to see the difference this program can make in our school community!
