Dear Eagles,
Thanks for a fun Field Day, PTA! The Olympic theme was great. Every class represented a real or pretend country and created their own flag which they brought to each station. So many volunteers helped at the stations and helped with students. The fire truck was a big hit. It was a lot of fun!
And a huge thank you to our community for all their support this year. What a crazy year it has been with changing protocols due to the pandemic. I’m so proud of our students. Thank you for all you do for students and teachers. Silver Mesa is an awesome school!
Chrome books
All chrome books are due back to the school by Wed., May 26th. You can bring them by anytime and turn them into the front office.
Congratulations
Michelle Elbel, our paraeducator in the resource room, earned special honors this past week. She was recognized as the District Paraeducator of the Year! This honor was wel-deserved. She is amazing!

We know volunteer opportunities were limited, but thank you for showing up in whatever ways you could–whether that be out at lunchtime activities, out on Safety Patrol, running class parties and teacher appreciation, teaching art & music, encouraging your kids to participate, taking care of our dear teachers or sending in donations of all sorts. Community support is one of the things that makes Silver Mesa so great. We appreciate you! Have a great summer!
