The Wednesday MESSAGE!

In support of National Bus Safety Week, students will see our SASD police officers riding some District busses or see their police cars driving behind busses from October 21st through October 24th.

Students have nothing to worry about during this time. This is all in support of National Bus Safety week, supporting our bus drivers, and promoting bus safety.

Picture retake day will be October 30th. Any student can have their picture retaken.

Last week, the Souderton Area School District kicked off the “Farm to Fork” Program. “Farm to Fork” was designed to demonstrate community health and stewardship through hands-on, agricultural and science-based classroom learning that centers on how local food is grown. Adoption into SASD curriculum was initiated by Almac Group and championed in collaboration with the Indian Valley Education Foundation (IVEF) and Garden of Health Food Bank, who will serve as advisors to the program.

Salford Hills 5th grade students also created scarecrows for the scarecrow competition! Please take a second to click the button below to vote on your scarecrow. We need lots of votes! The Salford Hills Scarecrows are: Jack Skellington, Phillies Scarecrow, and Salford HIlls Scarecrow.

Exciting News! Kindergarten students will be able to purchase snacks at lunch in the cafeteria beginning next week. The following snacks will be offered first, and more options will follow as the kindergarteners learn the process:

• Scooby Doo Cookie ~ $0.75
• Fruit Snacks ~ $1.00

In order to purchase snacks, students will need to know their lunch number which can be found in Home Access Center.

It’s such a special day each year as the whole community comes together in support of our school. We had a wonderful day filled with smiling kids, caring teachers, enthusiastic volunteers, cheerful spectators, encouraging staff, generous donors, and gorgeous weather.

We couldn’t have done it without each and every member of the Salford Hills Community working together for the students!

The donations are still coming in as we work to tally them up. Even though Race Day is over, it's not too late to send in a contribution to show support for your racer!

Click the link below to donate and share 😊

Every dollar is gratefully received, deeply appreciated and wisely used to directly support our Salford Hills Community. Thank you for your generosity!

Optional: Personalize your blurb, upload a photo and/or change your child's personal goal. Linking your email also enables you to receive an email each time someone donates online to your child.

It will make thanking those sponsors so much easier! 😄

School is just around the corner, and the District has been busy preparing student 1-to-1 devices for instructional use during the upcoming school year. Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, there is a new process for how families will receive their annual student/parent mobile device use agreement/fee. Families will receive an e-mail from Souderton Area SD (webstores@revtrak.net) with an invoice for their student’s mobile device fee. The subject of the e-mail will be "Fee Invoice".

Families will be able to complete their agreement/pay their fee online through the District’s Online Payments system. For families who would like to pay their invoice via cash/check, agreements can be printed and payment made in-person.

Families will receive instructions for completing the agreement and paying the fee via e-mail on the date invoices are sent. No action is necessary today.

Devices will be distributed to students during the first week of school.

If you have any questions, please contact the Salford Hills Elementary School office at 610-287-9197.

Please click on the School Menus picture above to see the menus available for breakfast and lunch.

Please join the Home & School Association at our next meeting! This is a great opportunity to meet other parents, learn about HSA events and discover different ways to get involved and volunteer. Bring your ideas, concerns, or questions to the Board and allow the kids to play since childcare is always provided. We hope to see you there!

Stay tuned for October meeting minutes

12 fourth grade students from Salford Hills went to the Peer Assisted Leadership Training with the SASD Elementary Guidance Department this week. These students learned conflict resolution strategies they can use with 1st grade students on the playground to help them solve conflict.

SASD Police Officer Zach Bubnis visited the Salford Hills kindergarten to talk about his career in law enforcement, and of course show them his police car.

Students in 3rd grade have the opportunity to attend the Salford Hill Board Game Club where they play old school board games, no electronics allowed. All of the students have a wonderful time playing the games and interacting with each other.

Fundamentally committed to each other, we at Salford Hills are a caring community of learners who value each individual’s intrinsic worth and potential.

In our supportive environment, learners are encouraged to achieve high standards by developing responsibility for their learning through authentic experiences that require hard work, critical thinking and reflection.

Learning is a process that positively impacts the future.
