Welcome back to the students and families of The Silver Academy!!! What a pleasure it is to be back in this environment of love, joy and learning!!!  Thanks to so many people for helping to make the start of school wonderful…here are a few of the many that I want to thank: Thanks to Krris Novak for single handedly cleaning the walls of the school with a ‘magic eraser’ (or two or three or more magic erasers!!) Thanks to our amazing PTO for providing parents with a warm welcome and snacks on the first day of school. Also, thanks for providing the teachers with coffee and tea in the faculty room!! Thanks to our amazing office staff for having everything ready to go on day one!!! And thanks to Barb in the cafeteria for having fantastic food available (always with a smile) to everyone!! Thanks to the teachers and volunteers and staff who make Silver Academy the BEST SCHOOL in the Harrisburg area!!! Parents, grandparents and community members...come in...visit...see what we do and how we do it...you are always welcome to stop by!!! We may not be the biggest Jewish day school…. yet ….we may not be the private school most well known in the Harrisburg Community…. yet ....but we are the BEST!!!! The power of yet!!! Shabbat Shalom, Debra
