Join us for our Veterans Day 2016 program in the Silverdale Baptist Church sanctuary, Wednesday, November 9th, 2016 at 8:30am. Our students have been working on art and essay projects and have been deep in learning and discussion about our military veterans and the service and sacrifice they provide for our freedoms. Our keynote speaker for this year’s event will be United States Marine Corps Colonel Lance Maffett, Retired. To read his bio, 
Family and Friends of the Academy: Do you have an old truck that you would like to donate to Silverdale Baptist Academy? You would be helping us out greatly, and you can count the donation as a tax deduction for your home or business. We currently have a truck that was donated over 10 years ago and while we have taken great care of it, it is simply worn out. We can no longer use it anywhere other than our campus. We use this truck daily. Please contact Chris Neighbors at 892-2319 extension 2223 if you would like to contribute. We appreciate how supportive our families continue to be. Blessings, Becky Hansard Head of School
We're just one week away from partnering with the American Cancer Society for their annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk! We will be sponsoring a team for this life-changing walk and would love the support from as many of our Silverdale families as possible. Click here to register as a team member. Saving lives from breast cancer starts one team, one walker, and one dollar at a time. We know that the American Cancer Society is the leader in the fight to end breast cancer. We know that supporting them will ensure that if you need someone to talk to anytime of the day or night, they’ll be there. If your friend is losing her hair from chemo, your mother needs a ride to treatment, or a loved one needs a place to stay when treatment is far from home, they will be there to help. The walk will be Sunday, November 6th at Finley Stadium. Registration begins at 12pm and the walk begins at 2pm. If you would like to order a #TeamSilverdale shirt, please click here. We appreciate your partnership with us and hope to see you at the walk. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Development Office by email or via phone: (423) 892-2319 ext. 2224.
