Dear SILC Students, Parents, Teachers and Volunteers:
[1] Thanks to all of you who are volunteering at SILC. It would not be possible to run SILC without the passion and dedication of its volunteers. Are you aware that some of the twincities organizations (for example, 3M) provide matching grants for the volunteer hours their employees have given to a non-profit organization?
If you work at such an organization, please consider nominating SILC as receipient of the grants for the volunteer hours you are giving to SILC.
(Thanks to Kusum Gosain for alerting me to this possibility of matching grants for volunteer hours)

[5] As Erin, our principal, outlined in the assembly, please ensure that you are not using the cell phones to make the calls or to text in the SILC class room. It is expected from the students and parents that they show and exhibit similar respect to SILC as they would o in the regular school. It helps the teachers and classrooms to conduct the classes with focus and without any interruptions.

We can announce it during the assembly so that those items can be claimed. (Note: A folder and a boy's olive green hooded jacket are lost yesterday; If anyone picked those up, please bring those to SILC next week)

Please wear your thinking caps and contribute the news letter. Submissions are due by 19th February to Shiv Bhatia (Assistant Principal)
