Hello Silver Hill Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is ready for a great week ahead!

Our Sanford Harmony program for social emotional learning is off to a great start!  Please ask your children about the classroom “Meet Ups” or “Buddy Up” activities. Last week, I was lucky enough to be invited to share in a “smile”  with Mrs Kornachuk’s first grade classroom. It was a great way to make all feel welcome and bring positive energy to the day! I am looking forward to getting into other rooms this week as well!
