And just like that, the school year is over! I look back and am proud of the way our Bronco community rebounded from a crazy year and jumped back into so many of the special events, programs and activities that make our school so incredible.
I want to thank you all for your willingness to volunteer, lead programs, help in our classrooms and financially support our PTA. I am thrilled we were able to finally start and complete our Shade Structure project, completely overhaul both of our Bronco Gardens, replace our Chromebooks, provide field trips and equipment to students, and generously support teachers and staff throughout the year. Your generosity and support made all these things possible!
Thank you teachers for another incredible year of teaching and getting our students back into the swing of full-time schooling and learning. Thank you staff for providing leadership, support, and a safe space for our kids to do school. And finally, thank you to Ms. Jevenois, for your seven incredible years of leadership, inspiration, creativity, support and enthusiasm. You have made Silver Spur a better place! We are sad to see you go and are excited for what you will do at your next school!
Congrats to this year’s graduating 5th grade class! We are excited to watch you go off and do big things from here! And well-done Bronco students and families for completing the 2021-2022 school year. I hope you all have a wonderful summer! Can’t wait to see you all again in the fall!
Best,
Jen Cox

 After seven incredible years of outstanding service, love, and commitment to our Bronco community, our amazing Principal, Ms. Jevenois is leaving Silver Spur to start her new position as principal at Pt. Vicente Elementary. Ms. Jevenois has made a significant impact in the lives of our students and families and will leave a lasting legacy on our school and community. She will be greatly missed and we wish her all the best at her new school! Once a Bronco, always a Bronco!
Thank you and GoodBye Mrs. Fujita
 So hard to say goodbye to one of our beloved teachers! After 26 years of teaching at Silver Spur, we say goodbye to Mrs. Fujita, 2nd grade teacher. She has made such a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of students - many of whom have gone on to excel in big and small ways after leaving Silver Spur. We wish her all the best in her retirement! And from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU Mrs. Fujita for your years of service at Silver Spur.
Thank you and Good Bye Mrs. Braun
Sometimes the impact of one person in the life of a child can make all the difference! Mrs. Braun has impacted so many of our students!! After 5 years, we also say goodbye to Mrs. Braun who works in our Learning Center. We are so appreciative of your years spent as part of our Bronco community! It’s International Week At Silver Spur!
