Today we celebrated togetherness as a community with our annual Holiday Luncheon. Students and staff were encouraged to dress fancy for while the big lights in the gym turned down low as we enjoyed some ambiance with new lights, a yule log, and some festive music. Students enjoyed their time with friends and some even sang along to the music. Thanks to PTO for adding a little extra treat for everyone with a little chocolate for dessert!
We are having some fun the last week before break and celebrating by having some fun dress up each day! Take a look at the days dress and be festive as we finish out the first half of the school year and end 2024! Thursday we will be having a special luncheon so students are encouraged to dress their best.

This week we had our Family Reading Night, inviting our families to join us in a reading adventure! Students and families were welcomed to go on an exploration to discover all the fun that they can get from reading. They had to read passages and make choices along the way, even choosing their own adventure trying to escalate up Idaho's tallest peak, Mount Borah. Staff were the guides to help! We had a ton of fun with our families and sharing the adventure with them all! Keep reading Stallions!
Kinders have been studying seasons and the weather. Today they enjoyed taking a moment to play in Autum's freshly fallen leaves and their smiles were priceless!

We love our community helpers! Firefighters came by today to give a special safety presentation to our younger students. They got to hear a very important message and see some really cool equipment. We appreciate them helping us learn and being in our community to keep us safe!
The next few weeks are busy! Here are a few of the highlights. Are you receiving school updates? Make sure to check your email or going to our school's website to look at our newsletters. Specific details about these events and more are available through our school's communications.
Teamwork makes the dream work! In PE class students need to collaborate, problem solve and work together in a variety of ways. We made sure to focus on learning to work together to achieve more. What looked or sounded like a difficult task at the beginning became easier by coming up with a strategy and having everyone do a different part. Great work!
When students get an opportunity to learn through living through the history, it takes their learning to a whole different level. Our 4th graders have been studying Idaho History all year, learning about the westward expansion and how early settlers lived when they moved west and made Idaho their home. On Friday, they put their learning into action at our Rendezvous. They made toys and necklaces, did a scavenger hunt, attempted to rope their cattle, and more! Thanks to our 4th grade teachers for organizing the event, our district assistants, and parent volunteers for their help!
Hello! We are Silver Sage Elementary! We have students who speak many languages here. Some were born in other countries and moved here. Some of them were born here too. Together at school, we learn together, about each other, and about our schoolwork too.
Friday we celebrated "Heritage Day" and our Multi Language Learners program, Miss Lloyd and Mrs. Joana, had their students write "Hello" in their native languages to welcome students to our assembly. How many of these languages do you recognize?
Spring has arrived in Idaho and we are loving it! Kindergartener's got to finish their lesson on the life cycle of butterflies by releasing their new friends into the world! Sprinkles and Smith are just a few of the friends that our kinder classes got to learn about and see fly away after their growth in class.
More STEM Day fun! Thanks to the SSE STEM Committee for organizing this amazing event and the community volunteers for assisting students in the engaging stations!
On Wednesday, students were surrounded by everything STEM during our STEM Day event! Stations were set up that allowed students to learn and explore different aspects of Science, Engineering, Math and Science to help them use their learner powers of Wonder, Reflection, and Collaboration! We even got to experience the Star Lab, helping students learn about the stars and constellations in the night sky! Lots of smiles all day! #STEM #Westadaschools
