We are thrilled to announce that on February 25, 2025, Silver Creek Public School will host a special visit from the African Caribbean Council of Halton. This visit will be an engaging and impactful experience for our students, where they will explore the significance of names and their powerful role in creating strength and unity within communities.

Through music-based activities, students will have the opportunity to reflect on the power encapsulated in names, gaining a deeper understanding of how identity and solidarity shape the world around us. These presentations will not only be a celebration of culture, but they will also connect to various areas of the curriculum, offering valuable learning opportunities across subjects.

Additionally, the visit will provide our students with insight into the important work of the African Caribbean Council of Halton and their contributions to our community. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to build connections to local organizations and learn about the vital role they play in fostering inclusivity and engagement.

We are excited for this enriching experience and look forward to seeing the students engage with these powerful themes.

 

Message from HALTON FOOD FOR THOUGHT:  We wanted to share with you about the Student Nutrition Program our school runs in partnership with Halton Food for Thought to provide ALL our students with access to nutritious food to fuel their day. This Program offers various nutritious options including fruit, vegetables, proteins and grains at no cost to the student or their family. Providing access to healthy food at school is shown to improve student readiness to learn, energy levels and school engagement.  This month we are helping Halton Food for Thought raise awareness about their work within our school community. Food is essential to help children reach their full potential, and we are proud to work with Halton Food for Thought to support our students.
