Good afternoon Silver Creek Families,
We invite you to attend the final virtual workshop on April 26, 2023. Once again, the event will be hosted by David Hymowitz of #SameHere and are part of the district’s mission to educate and support the whole child.
The topic will be Building Resiliency in Your Children. Helping your children become resilient is one of the most effective protective factors they need to negotiate life on life’s terms. There are four main ingredients to building resiliency: hope, connections, purpose, and adapting. We will explore how to create and foster these areas in their lives so they can successfully face life’s challenges.
Links for the virtual workshops are accessible at www.silvercreekschools.org. The workshop begins at 7:00 p.m. and runs approximately 45 minutes.
Contact the district social workers with any questions. Learn more at samehereglobal.org.
Kindness is everywhere at Silver Creek Central School District. 🫶 🏫 All you have to do is stop and look around. Our Black Knight family encourages kindness in our hallways, in our classrooms and even at our water fountains.
