This year's theme for Silverdale's Veterans Day program is "For Freedom". Students have been working on art projects, essays, and research projects in preparations for next month's celebration of our nation's veterans.
Our keynote speaker for this year's event will be Lieutenant Commander Timothy White, the Navy officer who returned fire during the July 16, 2015 attack on the Navy Operational Support Center here in Chattanooga. We hope you'll make plans to join us for what will be one of the most powerful events we host all year.
To RSVP your veteran as our guest of honor, visit our Veterans Day page at silverdaleba.org/vetday
Box Tops For Education
It's that time of year again when we start collecting BOX TOPS for education. Thank you for continuing to help our school by collecting Box Top for Education. Every Box Top collected is worth .10 cents for our school. Last year we earned over $1,000 for Silverdale! In the Elementary school we award an ice cream party to the class that turns in the most BOX TOPS at each collection date.
First collection date: Friday Oct. 16th
Second collection date: Friday Jan. 22nd
Final collection date: Friday March 18th
TIPS:
- Please be sure to trim all BOX TOPS
- Please be sure to check expiration dates
- You may turn in BOX TOPS loose or on collection sheets
Thank you for your support!
