SAGE Dining Begins 2015-2016

After years of careful research and surveying you, our families, we have officially decided to welcome SAGE Dining to the campus of Silverdale Baptist Academy beginning in the fall of 2015! You should have been receiving information via email over the past few months, but now you can find many of the details of our tailored food plan on the Parent Portal SAGE Dining page. We're thrilled to have SAGE on board for the next school year and can't wait for our students and staff to enjoy all of the benefits they have to offer!

Students: Need Volunteer Hours?

The Silverdale Baptist Church Women’s Ministry needs two students to help with childcare at First Baptist Church downtown on Monday evenings beginning February 2nd and ending April 20th. The Women’s Ministry has partnered with Christian Women’s Job Corp, providing dinners at their weekly meetings. The CWJC is a program that helps disadvantaged women with their careers. Many women have gone through this program and learned about the life of Christ while bettering their own lives. Your help is greatly needed! This is a great opportunity for Seniors who need to reach their minimum hours needed by graduation. If you're interested, please contact Bekita Heath.
