Congratulations to our Silver Sage SOLEkids running group. Over the weekend, all of their hard work was showcased in their final 5K race! For weeks they have shown perseverance by practicing after school, building their endurance to prepare for the race. Led by Mrs. Hall and her family, they showed grit on the course on their way to earn a medal as a SOLEkids finisher! Not everyone can say they have ran a 5K - way to go!
3rd Grade, led by Mrs. Boyd, held an amazing performance on Veteran's Day to honor our Veteran's and celebrate all that they have done for our country and community. Songs were sang, poems were read, and thanks were given. Thank you to all of our Veteran's.
3rd Graders are proud and ready to perform on Tuesday to help honor our Veteran's. There will be songs, poems and messages to celebrate and honor our Veteran's. Families are invited to attend. The performance will be on Tuesday, November 11th at 3:00 PM in the Silver Sage gymnasium.

We have some exciting new things headed to Silver Sage thanks to some of our teachers who were awarded grants from the West Ada Foundation! In total, these 3 teachers are bringing in over $8,000 worth of new materials to enrich the learning of our Silver Sage learners!
Mrs. Ellington's class is getting "Hand's On" with their learning! The purpose is to increase tactile learning in both kindergarten classrooms. The grant money will be used to create sensory bins for number and letter recognition, fine motor skills practice (like buttoning things and shoe tying practice), and sandpaper letters and numbers to help with identification. Both kindergarten teachers are so excited to share this tools with their classes!
Ms. Gorman's grant will fund additional STEM bin activities in our 4th grade classrooms. Items such as Picaso Tiles, Legos, Kinetic Sand and more will enrich the bins that get used weekly. Additionally, student's are getting a Lego Technic Set to illustrate the Planet Earth and Moon in orbit that will be used to the STAR lab on our school wide STEM day!
Mrs. Boyd knows that to learn music, you need to be able to play the instruments. Students have been limited by the number of instruments we have and needed to share and wait. Not anymore! Grant money will be used to purchase more instruments including 12 new barred instruments! With these new instruments, students will be able to play and create much more intricate music, from the steady bass beat to the high melodies.
What fun we had during our Trunk or Treat event on Friday! Our cars had amazing themes, and our community came out dressed and ready for fun!
