Save those Box Tops!!
Box Tops is an easy way to earn money for our school! Just by purchasing Box Tops products, clipping the coupons and sending them into school, we earn cash that can be used to buy anything we need.  Send them to school in a ziplock bag labeled with student's name.   Keep clipping and collecting!  Thank you for supporting Silver Spur!





Hello Broncos!

Already nearly two months in to school! The weeks are flying by and I hope you are all hanging in there! 

As a PTA, we are doing what we can to keep all our Silver Spur Families in mind with every program, activity, fundraiser, and technology enhancement that we plan and invest in. Your PTA Board is being very creative in coming up with fundraisers that are safe and accessible to all, planning fun ways for our kids to connect and enjoy safe holiday celebrations, and providing equal access to online resources such as Reading Counts, REFLEX, and others.

Interested in getting involved? First, please join the PTA via our registration packet on the Silver Spur website. Second, volunteer! We are always looking for people who want to get involved! Did you know we are still looking for someone to Chair Art At Your Fingertips, Military Appreciation Day and International Week?  Let me know if you are interested! Because PTA is interested in YOU!

Please read through the whole SPUR! It is filled with info you need about some of the exciting activities your PTA is putting together for you!!  

Our days sure look a little different than we are used to, but we can still make it a great day! The choice is ours! Let’s go Broncos!

Best,
Jen Cox
PTA President
