The HSA invites you to volunteer at Salford Hills this year! The HSA helps coordinate volunteers for classroom activities, social events, school events, etc. As a volunteer, you are welcome to serve as much or as little as you wish. For example, you can volunteer to help during a specific event, lead a committee, help out in your child's classroom and more.

A big THANK YOU goes out to Upper Salford Fire Company for coming out to visit our kindergarten students to talk about fire prevention and what to do in case of an emergency.

2nd grade challenge students worked hard to solve different visual spatial problems.

Fifth graders had fun dissecting owl pellets to learn about consumers as part of their Ecosystems unit. Once the owl pellets were pulled apart, students could identify the bones from organisms the owls had eaten. It gave students a glimpse of the larger ecosystem, thinking about what additional organisms must have been present for those voles, shrews, and other rodents that the owls had ingested.

To reinforce the message of Bullying Prevention Week, first and fifth grade buddies from rooms 12 & 52 listened to the story Spookley the Square Pumpkin. They shared important messages from the book such as “Don’t tease people who are different” and “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. Then buddies made their own square Spookley pumpkins, complete with googly eyes!

2nd grade students learned about painting curves and angles to create sunflowers in art class.
