Life Skills students at Sylvan Hills Middle brought back some fun Halloween activities last week. The students each created a gingerbread haunted house that showcased their individual creativity. The group also made our own personal pan pizzas! They wrapped up the Halloween fun with a schoolwide trick-or-treating for the first time in 3 years!
Sylvan Hills Middle is proud to recognize students at the first nine weeks honors assembly. There are more than 200 students recognized on the All A and All A/B honor roll for the 1st quarter. We had over 350 people attend the assembly to celebrate these students.
Shout out to our AVID students who facilitated the assembly and to Ms. Gibson for hosting the post-assembly reception in the library learning center.
Full list of honorees can be found here: https://5il.co/1k3wd
