Julie has served in this position for 3 years and has done a tremendous job in bringing enriching activities to our students. She heads up the Reflections contest every year, hosts our Silvercrest booth at the PTA International Day celebration and has contributed designs to our spirit shirts and PTA stationary. Thank you, Julie! Ms. Foo announced Ms. Riley will receive the official award once we are back in school for the 20-21 school year. Fourth Grade Recognition, Marla Jones: Ms. Jones announced that she, Papar Faircloth and Ashley Valdez have been brainstorming ideas to celebrate our 4th graders amidst social distancing. They have plans to distribute special T-shirts, a 4th grade class photo from Field Day and some type of certificate to the 4th graders via a drive-thru at Silverlake Park the last week of school (May 18-22.) Ms. Valdez is preparing a slideshow and will contact parents for pictures. This slideshow will be emailed out to all 4th graders to enjoy. Jerry Restrepo will set up our newly purchased lawn letters to spell out some type of congratulations to the 4th graders during the drive-thru distribution. The goal is to have a parent-led roller-skating party sometime at the end of July or in Aug, depending on social distancing guidelines by that point in time. Shana Kutac, School Supplies: Ms. Kutac announced school supplies can be purchased online only, now through June 14th. There is a link on our Silvercrest PTA website, and a skyward email will be sent soon. The PTA will not receive much of a profit this year, to keep pricing low because of the pandemic. After June 14th parents will have an opportunity to “late order” until July 7th at an increased price rate.
