Next we we are going to light up Salford Hills with kindness! Your child can participate by wearing items described in the flyer below. Students will also be working to fill a light bulb in their classroom with at least 10 moments of kindness they experience next week. We are looking forward to a great week of kindness!

We are all looking forward to the Salford Hills Winter Concert! Our band, orchestra and chorus have been hard at work preparing wonderful holiday music for you to enjoy.

• Band, orchestra, and chorus students need to report at 6:30pm.

Our Winter Socials will be held next Friday, December 22nd! Our students are always excited for this day! A big thank you goes out to our homeroom parents and parent volunteers who all help to make these events a success!

On Tuesday December 19th our 1st grade students will travel to the Winter Workshop. At the Winter Workshop the high school students help the first graders build winter themed projects, work in the TV studio, and play fun winter themed games. This is always a favorite activity for our first grade students, as well as, the high school students.

Students in all grades have been using the LEGO Spike kits during computer science class over the past couple of class periods. In grades K-2, students learned about input and output devices and programmed the devices to spin, light up, and view colors using their iPad. In grades 3-4, students followed step by step building instructions and then programmed those items to perform a specific task. Lastly, 5th grade students used both the Spike Essential kit and the Spike Prime kits to extend their learning and stretch their imaginations!

Our Reading Olympics teams kicked off their reading season this week. These teams will read several chapter books, and then answer comprehension questions in a competition against other Montgomery County schools.

Kindergarten has been learning all about bakeries during Playshop. Each classroom opened their own bakery. Bakers mixed, baked, and delivered gingerbread cookies to friends around Salford Hills.

Our next Home & School Meeting will be Tuesday Jan. 9th at 6pm in the cafeteria. Please join us to meet other parents, learn about HSA events and volunteer opportunities, as well as bring any ideas, concerns, or questions to the Board. Childcare will be provided. We hope to see you there!
