Silverdale's First-Ever BioBlitz
 

 

What is BioBlitz?

A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding, identifying, and recording as many species of plants, animals, microbes, fungi, and other organisms as possible in a specific area over a short period. It is a race against time! Our goal is to record all the plant and animal species that live on the SBA campus in 6 short hours.

Who?

Our preschool through 12th grade students will investigate and record the species with the help of many specialists who will be on campus. Students are required to dress in Spirit Day attire, appropriate for the weather of the day.

Where and When?

Silverdale Baptist Academy campus
April 11, 2017
8:00am - 3:00pm

Why?

  • Invaluable outdoor learning experience for our students.
  • The data we collect will help to generate a master list of plant and animal species that exist on our campus. This list will be shared with scientists who can use the data to support biodiversity conservation and research.

#Struggles Mom-led Video Study

Kid’s projects due - Test in history - Field trip forms are late - Birthday party to plan...

Feeling overwhelmed? Exhausted? Having to keep up the facade that you have it all together? Stop, breathe, and let’s get real. Starting March 29th at 8:15am in the Silverdale Chapel, we moms are going to begin a 5-week bible study to recover our contentment in Him.

Reconnect with Him and become real with other moms that are walking this journey with you. You are not alone. We can fellowship from 8:00-8:15am every Wednesday and then begin our study together.

Mom led. Moms ready for authenticity. Moms eager to grow together in Christ.

Hope to see you there
