Dear Silverbrook Families,

Happy New Year! We are pleased to announce Silverbrook’ s Annual Art Gala: A Walk in the Woods: An Enchanted Evening of Art.

The Gala will take place on the evening of Monday, May 6, 2024, from 6-8pm. This is a free event that will feature artwork from each class and will have activities and a photo booth.

Due to the large number of children that attend our school, nine students’ artwork will be chosen to represent each class. Artwork will be voted on anonymously by peers who have completed a similar project and are aware of the expectations of what went into the project.

We would like to invite your family and friends to attend our Art Gala. We are looking forward to a fun filled art evening. Feel free to attend for any time frame during the Gala.

If your child’s artwork is selected to be in the Art Gala, he/she will receive a letter to notify him/her at least two weeks prior to the Gala. Even if your child’s artwork is not selected, we encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the Gala. The event is always a huge success!

Large events such as this do take a lot of preparation and planning. If you would be willing to share some of your time with us, we would greatly appreciate your help in planning for the evening or preparing artwork with us! A huge thank you to the many wonderful volunteers that have been in to help prepare materials this school year! We continue to need help preparing materials.

If you have any questions about the Art Gala, please feel free to contact either of us. We can best be reached through e-mail.

We are also looking for the following STEAM donations: shoe boxes, pipe cleaners, SOLO cups, rubber bands, cotton balls, dixie cups, index cards, hand soap and newspaper. Donations can be dropped off in the office or sent in with your child.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,
